MiniMap Ping Explained - Cast AOE Spells

[Dawnstone]

Interesting, not sure if its addressing the same issue as in this thread (there are small problems manually using green-circle targeting in specific locations - let alone ping-map)... but one fix could fix the other. Either way, its good news.

I THINK that note was there before this post was made...though, my testing WAS on live servers, not test server, so it COULD be our fix.

I'm doing two mages with blizzard... i have to hit the ping macro twice on my main in order for my alt to cast his blizz too.

I read the whole thread and didnt see what I am about to ask..... so if it has been asked allready, forgive me

Can this be used by the click to move function in game to, move in cool formations, or to regroup after a bad fear bomb?

Can you aquire coordinates of enemy by targeting them?

These may be way out in left field questions, but hey..... Im way out in left field.

There was a post about this also. i think the answer was pretty much that it couldn't be used for movement.
Click to move using mini-map?

Well, I've verified that blizzard works OK with this. Flamestrike does not even touch the mobs on the ground, so it's useless there. Also noticed that your mages always try to target your last ping, so the cast is always one behind your current location. If you're moving enough so that the last loc is out of range, it just fails until the ping updates, then it'll cast at your desired loc.

Interesting macro, indeed.

As per my previous communication with GM's they have currently confirmed they are actually working on a fix for this patch, I don't think what you are looking at in the patch notes is what I've requested but theres a small possability someone else reported a similar error.... 1 bug can have many issues and 1fix hopefully well see.

Thanks for the update, I didn't think the fix would make it in 2.4 but if they're working on it now thats great news. This is a powerful ability that'll help a ton once working correctly.

Hi all,

I am new here, but have recently started dualboxing and I am loving it

I am running a Pali/Mage combo, and just got Blizzard on the mage, I tried the following

on Pali:

/run Minimap:PingLocation(0, 10) 
/script Minimap:PingLocation(0, 10)

on Mage:

/cast Blizzard 
/script local x, y = Minimap:PingLocation(Minimap:GetPingPosition())

No matter where I set the distance on the Paladin the Mage only fires on herself, any help would be appreciated!



Update: I added that local x, Y thing recently, I had it w/o that but there was also no change. She just casts on top of herself

Wasn't there something about pinging twice for the alt to catch it?
