SmartCast - Fast and accurate ground targeting  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 1.3
by: Shinni [More]
This addon lets you cast ground targeting abilities with only one button tap instead of double tapping.
The ground target indicator appears while you hold the abilities key down and the ability is cast when the key is released.

Additionally you can select for each ground targeting ability, if it should be smart cast (one button press) or cast via two button presses (like the regular cast system).

With the Dark Brotherhood update, ZOS will add a quick cast option for ground target abilities. ZOS' quick cast option however will cast the ability immediately, so there isn't any targeting indicator.
This addon is a kind of hybrid between the new quick cast and the normal cast system as it will cast the ability with only one button press while still displaying the target indicator.

This addon works with the current live version of the game and with the Dark Brotherhood version on the PTS.
## 1.3
- fixed lua error

## 1.2
- fixed a bug where the map would break when casting an ability while the targeting indicator is active for a different ability

## 1.1
- compatible with Summerset

## 1.0

Thanks for the addon, comes in handy for my sorc.

As I've understood and seen it right the target indicator is your mouse crosshair. Where you aim the skill will be executed immediately.

Yes. With targeting indicator I meant the circle on the ground. ZOS' quick cast option doesn't display this circle (it does display the circle the moment the ability is executed, but then you can't change the position anymore).
So when aiming with ZOS' version you have to estimate which enemies will be inside the abilities area of effect and which enemies won't be.

Using this addon, the circle is displayed on the ground until the key is released. So while aiming you can see which enemies will be inside the area of effect.

Settings -> Gameplay -> Quick Cast Ground Abilities
It's part of the Dark Brotherhood update, so the option doesn't exist yet on the live servers.

Still works

An update to get it off my out of date add-on list would be awesome. So when I log on I stop getting the "UPDATE YOUR ADD-ONS" message it bugs me. TYVM for your work.

Gotta at least give them time to work. People got lives outside the game as nice as it would be to have the addon working again.
