Water Dancing

[Colgate]

only serves as a line of sight blocker, will not stop a cast that is already charging

[Nizzarr]

false.

Will give you "you are protected from this spell" message

[Colgate]

not what i was told, but if it's working as intended, disregard this

[freez]

is this correct? shouldn't casters spell just be interrupt instead of landing as if target was DA ?

[Nizzarr]

spells should land, its your duty to duck them

[vouss]

tested this and results were as following

if someone out of the water casts a spell on you while you are out of water, then you enter the water before the cast finishes, it lands as normal

if someone out of the water casts a spell on you while you are in water, you get the message "your spell is protected..."

[Dullah]

So close to working.

[Nizzarr]

bump, still not working right but was a step in the right direction.

Fixed pending patch.

Today
Caster on land, target in water, no LOS = lands
Caster on land, target in water, LOS = protected

After next patch
Caster on land, target in water, no LOS = protected
Caster on land, target in water, LOS = protected

Alecta, can you confirm that this check occurs when the spell is supposed to land, not just at initial cast?

[Alecta]

Yes, the water check occurs on landing or 'spell finishing'. It does not occur on initial cast.

The comments about the person moving into the water were helpful, but not technically what was happening. The real issue was the LOS.

So for example currently on Red99, let's say two characters are in RV by the pond, both out of the water, and one starts casting on the other. If the target jumps in the water and swims into the middle, where the caster still has LOS to him, the target is 'protected'.

If the target jumps in the water and swims up against the edge, where the caster doesn't have LOS to him, then Null's LOS code kicks in and the spell lands. This is fixed so that in the next patch, the target is still protected.

[Retti_]

Aw yes I noticed that happened and was thoroughly confused because I thought a) I was in water how did it land and b) he didnt have los how did it land

[Alecta]

Fixed.
