I have a targeted ability that has a 5 second prepare time.

Once the target place on the ground is chosen, I want to show a splat indicator during the prepare time.

I can get this to work with the actor, but by default the splat is showing up at the position of the caster. I can't seem to get it show up at the target position of the ability.

The splat model actor has an event that creates it on Abilty.YourAbility.SourcePrepareStart. I've also tried TargetPrepareStart which didn't seem to change anything.

Any ideas?

Dunno if that'll work outside of an effect chain. If not, make the casting time into a channeled create persistent effect and have the ability effect triggered by the expire field. You have a lot more flexibility working with effects than you do otherwise.

Yeah I had it that way to start with, the problem is that I want to show a progress bar for the prepare time and the splat at the same time.

Anyhow got it working with this:

The actor event must be set to Abilty.YourAbility.TargetPrepareStart, then you set Hosting - Host: Scope to Scope Target, and Subject to Alias - _Main

Now the splat displays at the target location of the ability! Next to figure out the ping issue which I'll do in another thread.

Also I have the same problem ... could you explain how? I did not understand ...

@DrSuperEvil: Go

Could you explain me step by step? where should I set and how? I would like to show an indicator before the thor uses Thor's Hammer...

I understand how to set up the event of the actor but not how to set up the host ... where is the host field where I should set "main"?

WIN! I set string "main" in host: host +, subject, personal.

TNX!
