Legal way to target channeled spells?

You can go to something stupid like 500 or so. Which is like seeing WoW from a blimp.

Fun to play in the BG from a top-down view with around 150 or so camera distance -- feels like you're in an RTS

if you guys are ok with mouse clicks going to the exact location on the screen... but that location not being the exact same location in the virtual world... then i could add it to the list for keyclone.

static areas like powers and mini maps would work fine.. its the mapping to the virtual world that would be an issue. the main issue being the PoV being slightly different... hell, the character could be turned... it'd be a mess.

but hey, if you guys think it'll help.. i'll put it on the list

If the characters are all on follow, and placed on top of each other, and u have a key that sets the view distance and the camera pitch to the same setting on each, then that would be near as needs be once the broadcasted click happened on the screen.

Here's the question... can you add it with scaling?

I play with one wow @ 1280x1024 and two at 640x512... if you sent coords to X,Y offset of the top left of the D3D window over 3/4ths of my boxed toons screens wouldnt' be viable... however do the same thing and scale the sent coords based off the size of the window and I'm golden.

[keyclone]

yes, scalling is a non-issue

I would've been happy if mouse clicks could be targeted to the center of the receiver's screen, for aoe. While I've given up on that idea for now, it would still be useful for another time.
