Visibility on pre-executing an ability

[Muhahahahaaa]

hi there

does anyone have an idea how to reveal an target area before the skill is actually used?
For example abilities with an target area get a red circle but it doesn't reveal nor can i trigger on it.
or building units shows a model of the building before i click to build it.

in fact, something that reveals the area around the cursor aslong the ability isn't used yet.

thx for any ideas

Not possible because the targeting system is run locally while the fog of war system is run synchronously.

You could use triggers to synchronize the mouse movements and then reveal the area under the cursor but be aware of lag (the visible area will lag behind the targeter).

oh that sounds bad. guess i need to think of something different now. thanks anyway.
