Triggered projectiles and terrain

[tml616]

It looks like I hit another problem with my triggered projectile spells. The flying/hover heights of spells like Fireball mess up royally when they are anywhere near (within about 400 range) of any cliffs. They jump up and it just looks stupid. Is there a way around this?

Attached is my test map, try casting fireball near the little mountain area at the elf gate and see what I mean.

You could check ahead of the projectile's path, and start raising it little by little a bit before it reaches the cliff, so it looks smooth.

Or employ a basic collision check and make the fireball die if it hits a wall.

the problem is if I cast it anywhere close to a cliff, the fireball appears at a height as if it was on top of the cliff.
