Targetting lifebars

[Roser]

aye

[Roser]

Bringing this thread back as I just noticed something totally bizarre....

Use spell Fireball (hot key mouse wheel up)
Target Life bar of nearest enemy (clicking bar)
LOS randomly drops 50% of the time. (Spell nullified, cursor drops, target is out of sight)

This happens even tho I'm standing 1 tile away from the target.
Interestingly enough, this does not happen AT ALL when I use a razor hot key's to target (closest whatever or last target) or when I click the player directly.
The error only occurs when clicking Lifebars.

Now here is the retarded part.... This only occurs when the spell I am using is binded to the mouse wheel (lol?) If it is binded to any other hot key it works just fine. And yes, I did make damn sure that I had nothing else binded to my mouse wheel.

Somthing is off...

Note, this is not consuming Mana.

Kind of funny since the 'almighty infamous Faust' macro was binded to my mouse wheel down and the 'target cannot be seen' incidents with Eulogy at Turtle Bay only happened when using it after the weapon unequipped.

Clicking the lifebar would cause it to happen but using Razor's last target worked no problem.

I have encountered this issue many times. For me, it seems to happen regardless of mouse wheel. This happens when i click a lifebar in general and i target the "health" instead of the name of the character, on the bar. For me, this happens "100%" of the time when I click on the little line of health.

Yeah, Sorry buddy. You claimed the "Rat man has stolen your hit" not "my x did not do x"

This has been a problem for awhile though, and I usually just passed it off as me not clicking, or the spell not going off IN TIME. It's nice to know though, that it had been happening to other people, now to get it fixed!

A creature sitting there re-attacking you every 20-30 seconds wipes your previous attack last combatant putting it in place instead during a time on this shard when tabbing/attacking with timing was crucial. The problems that arise with having to re-attack someone when holding a spell every 20-30 seconds is quite apparent for anyone during a fight. Please feel free to say what you want about the Eulogy duels Cata. The fact remains that the majority was won on my end and he even lost a 2v1 against me in the field and still got the Razor screenshots of it all son.

[Cataclyst]

Majority won by you? There were only two duels, he lost and said lets duel again, you lost and came up with an excuse as to why you lost, which was redic. as the Ratman was nearly two FULL Screens away. This however, is not the thread to argue in, so please keep it out of said thread.

Please take your own advice the next time.

I happen to of contributed as much as I could while you're here, why not check out the "LOL BUY DEEDS FOR LOW SELL THEM HIGH" thread, course that's not the title, and fill them in on the T2A way, then let them know whether its accurate or not, so it can hopefully IF it's accurate, be fixed.

Edit: Placed the contents of this wall of text for house selling issue in its related topic here after discovering it...

I've looked through the code and just can't see how this is possible. Concurrent with mana loss and regent consumption, this should only be able to happen with a message. Holding your target too long can cause this, but there would be no mana consumption. I'm not saying it's not happening, only that i don't understand how. The best way I can see of resolving this is via a packet log of it happening; I've asked for this of a player that it happens to frequently, hopefully this will clear it up.

^_^ Removed!

Also, Derrick, Rose pointed out I believe, that it happens to him when clicking on the actual Life bar of the person, is there anything there that may be causing it to not actually.. target the person?

^ Sorry, was Niqeo who pointed it out!

[Derrick]

Please restrict the topic to the Topic, I have no idea what you guys are talking about and i don't want any of it further explained in this thread.

If this was the case, mana and reagents would not be consumed. Yes this can happen but it's not the report that is being made. There are a few thing that can cause targeting to fail with no message, including waiting too long.

[Cataclyst]

Just to bring it to your lovely attention

If this was the case, mana and reagents would not be consumed.

Note, this is not consuming Mana.

I'm just going to take a stab and assume Reagents aren't being Consumed, if Mana isn't as well.

Rose, is any other spell causing this for you, trying to recreate it and nothing seems to be going wrong soooo could it at all be possible that your razor is queuing things up.. without you realizing/knowing it (far fetched, I know, sue me)

[Roser]

Derrick I would be a prime example to take a packet log from, I can recreate this easily.

Cata I'm positive. It's totally baffling, I've only tried this with fireball... It was not consuming mana or reg's, and was giving me a LOS error (Target is not in line of sight) standing next to the target, clicking its bar.

I just tried testing this again, and for some reason I cannot recreate.

Ill keep trying. And with different spells.

Edit: This just got even more silly... It for some reason only occurs when I bind the spell (any spell) to my mouse wheel on a blue Order Guild character.

It seems ill have no problem re-creating this after all.
