Question - Enchanter splash spell problems?

[userjds]

My first post so apologies if I have selected wrong forum. I am having trouble with splash spell, "Splash Spell will not cast at target's location" regardless of target location (mob) or mine (Me).
I tried searching for relevant info but seem to come up short.
spell "Mollifying Issuance (Aura)" I've tried in buff, AE and DPS...

Thanks

Are you using a macro, casting manually, using a plugin?

The MQ2 if this is what you are asking, group of 5 in EQ all macro'd with the kissassist. War(112) Enc(112) Clr(112) Dru(112) Mag(115). All of the other NPC settings are running great. I've only joined about 2 months ago.
Thanks for the support.

I am trying to determine how to add a line in the toons ini file to make the spell properly work.

I've tried assorted lines in Buff, AE, DPS to no avail.

Hoping someone may be knowledgeable about how to help write the splash line for "Mollifying Issuance (Aura)"

Is the spell a spell in your spell book or an AA. On ZAM I can only find "Mollifying Issuance" not "Mollifying Issuance (Aura)" so that could be an issue. Splash spells are treated like any other spell, except for 1 additional check, to see if the spell can land at the location you are casting. When you start the macro, are you getting messages during the ini check?

 

[userjds]

Mollifying Issuance is in the spell section - Auras > Calm > (level 108) [Target:Free Target AE]

Hope that helps to help me

Enchanter now lvl 114 so I don't use this now but there are other "Free Target" spells I can't see how to use and would like to use newer > 113 - Placating Issuance Rk. II [Target:Free Target AE}

I have noticed the same error "Spell will not cast at target's location" on my Paladin when casting Splash heal.
So what is the determination of when an area is ok to cast a splash?

Is it just an EQ thing ie -target ring close to a wall or other object blocking. or the target ring is out of range?

I know when manually casting a splash, your Target ring goes Green or Red but not sure how KA, or the CWTN plugins handles the targeting for splash

I'm guessing Kissassist is not compatible with EQ splash spells as the thread can not be answered...

If there is an issue with splash spells being cast using a macro, the problem will be with MQ2 and not the Macro. The macro will just check if the spell can be cast at the location you specify, This is normally a player or a mobs location. The macro just checks !${Target.CanSplashLand} && ${Spell[${WhatSpell}].TargetType.Equal[Free Target]} so it is dependent on what CanSplashLand and/or TargetType members are returning.

If there is an issue with the location you are trying to cast, then you should be getting a message "Splash Spell will not cast at targets location. Skipping SomeSpell Name" . Are you seeing that message?

Yes, in my first post of this thread. I noted "Splash Spell will not cast at target's location"

@userjds generally, when you are having these problems, what does the geography look like?

 

[ctaylor22]

@userjds The message you are getting is because MQ2 is returning to the macro that you can't cast the spell at the targets current location. When you see this error, you can always try and pause the macro and then manually try and cast the spell. It could just be the geography of the location, like @wymranar mentioned.

I have had the same issue and had to start manually casting it. The sad part is, it casts easily when you do it manually. I think a good question would be is there a way to code a splash spell to have it find an area where it will land within a specified distance from the way you are facing.

Knowing things can get a bit tricky with the program I purposely look for flat areas, non shrubbery.
Even in close range and with a still target it does not seem to be able to land the splash where needed.

It looks like the program points the splash ok but it will not release it to land...

I stopped using splash spells now and sticking with targetable spells.

 

[wymranar]

Well, has anyone ever gotten a splash to land in game using KA?
