Problem with Kupo's Spell.Cast

DoAction and CanCast don't agree.

Pretty simple

Why does this work?

Code:

Actionmanager.DoAction("Ninjutsu", Core.Player.CurrentTarget)

but this doesn't do anything?

Code:

Spell.Cast("Ninjutsu", r => true, r => Core.Player.CurrentTarget)

Edit: Hmmm.... looks like CanCast only returns true if the target is Core.Player, but DoAction has to be Core.Player.CurrentTarget.

Edit2: I guess I wrote around it, but it would be nice to not have to.

 

Are you sure DoAction on Player doesn't work as well? I guess Ninjutsu is handled weird :S

On a random tangent: if you don't like specifying targets in your rotation, you could edit the cast function: if cancast on target fails, check cancast on self and replace XD but I guess that would be bad >_>

 

It's wrong, though. For anything that requires being casted on an enemy target like Fuma Shuriken, Raiton, or Suiton,

Code:

Log(Actionmanager.CanCast("Ninjutsu", Core.Player));
Log(Actionmanager.CanCast("Ninjutsu", Core.Player.CurrentTarget));
Log(Actionmanager.DoAction("Ninjutsu", Core.Player));
Log(Actionmanager.DoAction("Ninjutsu", Core.Player.CurrentTarget));

Returns

Code:

True
False
False
True

 

Thanks for the testing!

I think the best workaround would be a special cast function that cancasts the player

 

Yeah I ran into this when I was banging my head against the LastSpell wall. At first I thought it might be because the game sees it as the new spell name and not "Ninjutsu" but I couldn't get a "True" out of anything but "Ninjutsu".

I've tried the "DoAction" route but it doesn't work nearly as well/consistently as Cast (at least in my case). Hopefully someone smarter than me will figure something out soon.

 

you still need all the logic behind a standard cast function instead of just using a doaction you just copy the cast function, rename it something else and replace the CanCast(data, o ?? Core.Player.CurrentTarget) with a CanCast(data, Core.Player)

 

Yeah I made that post right after I woke up this morning, didn't make much sense. Was just venting that I had a lot of trouble getting it working right last night but didn't come out right lol.
