Multiple Target/Castings Spells [fixed]

by **Valescere** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 7:18 am

Played the demo, loved it, bought the game.

Often when I cast a spell with multiple casting (specifically magic missile and magic stone) after the first cast targets will then no longer blink under the icon and I can not cast.

I can continue the game by right clicking and aborting the rest of the spell, but it is a small annoyance.

I have the same issue with magic missile.

I get this too. Does it have something to do with Concealment, or is it a random bug?

I've got this bug too.
I think it only happens if you first take your move action... you move and then you cast MM from a wand, you can only cast the first one and then you have to abort the spell because you can't target anything.
Sometimes, after you've been forced to abort the spell, you can cast the remaining missiles the next round! and after that you still have you full round available, for another spell for instance.

Will look into it ASAP. Thanks for the report.

In a similiar vain: If you try and target someone out of LOS in the middle of your MM firing, it cancels the entire thing, which is a bit unfair if you misclicked.
(Also: you can't use ctrl to see LOS during combat, which means you often have to guess the LOS)

I will update the game in a short while, meanwhile just turn off automatic end of turn - it's the reason for these problems.

Edit: download 1.08 to fix this issue.

No, it's not the automatic end turn. I tried that last night. My suspicion is that Magic Missile is configured to work in a similar fashion to a ranged attack. After moving, you can't fire multiple arrows, right? Perhaps that's why you can't case multiple Magic Missiles?

Which version are you using?
