Shockwave cannot be cast on impassible...

[Faestus]

Hey I have an issue here.

I want to trigger a shockwave dummy spell, but for some reason it cannot be cast on impassible terrain. The terrain around the casting point may vary and the shockwave won't cast if the caster is close to a wall.

Anyway to trick the Shockwave to cast?

Is the dummy flying?

 

[Faestus]

Yes.

Use another spell.

You should never use Shockwave anyway, it creates a permanent memory leak.

IIRC Carrion Swarm will work fine.

I also have spells based off carrion swarm. Same issue. (It's a different spell)

use an aoe spell

use an aoe spell

That won't work or solve my issue at all.

another question to this, why does shockwave causes mem leaks?

 

[Faestus]

Well nvm.

Instead of making a unit cast at a impassible casting point, I created a flying dummy unit at the impassible casting point to cast the ability towards the original casting unit.

It casts the opposite direction but it works.

Wild guess: because it creates a terrain deformation, which never gets destroyed later.

Indeed.

type terraindeformation extends     handle

Yet another handle leak.
