Sorry if this has been asked before but I didn't find anything when I did a forum search. Does anybody know if it's possible to have wireframe casting in UMS? Wireframe casting allows a spell-caster to cast a spell on a unit by clicking on their wireframe icon in the UI instead of the model on the battlefield. Apparently Blizzard took wireframe casting out of SC2 in an earlier patch, but I was wondering if it was still possible in the galaxy editor.
I tried searching through the data editor for something that looked like it might turn wireframe casting on or off. I looked over the list of ability flags here: http://www.sc2mapster.com/api-docs/constants/ability-flag/, but nothing seemed to stick out as enabling or disabling wireframe casting. I also tried to find some place similar to WC3's Modify Gameplay Constants. I'm not super familiar with the galaxy editor yet so I'm hoping I'm just looking in the wrong place. I'm aware that I could probably create a completely custom GUI to get wireframe casting working but obviously it would just be so much easier if there was a checkbox somewhere that I could click. :)
To my knowledge, they changed the entire system ( since patch 13) so that targeting cursor no longer appear on the UI (wiframe, potrait) with the exception of minimap. Cursor will change to the default one so you might not have a small checkbox to make it work
When Blizzard revamped the system they should have kept the old system and given mappers/modders the option to choose which system they want via a nifty little checkbox! Easy-peasy, amirite?! I think Blizzard hates me personally.
When we get the ability to edit the base UI we'll probably be able to re-add wireframe casting. Until then it's not something within the domain of the editor.

Bump. I'd like to know that too.
