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

It's not about that, we can wait weeks or months for it to be finished, but it would be nice if the Addon creator would respond if he's gonna continue it or not, since we didn't get any respond, it feels like the addon is not gonna be continued. But I hope my feelings won't show up in reality. Also if the Addon owner reads this, just say "I'm working on it", people would even appreciate that.

How does this addon do anything differently than the in-game Settings to change ground targetting to Always?

The addon displays the targeting indicator while the button is held down.

The in-game settings has two options for ground abilities:
- casting with one button press but no targeting indicator
- casting with two button presses. The first button press starts the ground targeting mode with the targeting indicator and the 2nd button press casts the ability.
This addon is a hybrid between these two options. You only need one button press, but you can see the targeting indicator.

Question Addon Interferes With Map Dragging When Zoomed In

Noticed this after installing addon. Press "M", open the map, zoom in a bit and drag the map as if you would normally to look for something specifically. With the addon enabled this is almost impossible to do. The mouse crosshairs don't seem to "grab" the map to move it properly.

Disabled the addon and I can now zoom in and drag the map as before. Enable the addon and back to not being able to drag the map properly again.

Other features of the addon seem to work well. Thanks!

Thanks. It should be fixed in version 1.2.

The addon is broken

This addon was broken by the most recent patch. It creates an error that blocks the screen and doesn't let you cast the spell.

Here's the error in question:
Code:
EsoUI/Libraries/Globals/Globals.lua:16: function expected instead of table
stack traceback:
EsoUI/Libraries/Globals/Globals.lua:16: in function 'NormalizeMousePositionToControl'

(tail call): ?
:4: in function '(main chunk)'
You can dismiss the error, but functionality is still broken. Pressing and releasing the action button causes the button to be stuck in the "pressed" style. Pressing the button again brings up the targeting reticle, but releasing doesn't cast it - you have to click or press the button again, as normal.

Disable Icons?

Hey Shinni,

Is there any way we could get a keybind or something to hide the enable/disable buttons below ground based aoes?

I love the addon, but I don't like the icky S's under the action bar. Maybe the function of enabling/disabling the addon should be done per skill under an addon menu rather than permanently stuck on screen?

Just a thought. My OCD can't handle the S's :-P

Thanks!

Re: Disable Icons?

I have the same OCD issue myself. Now the files in question are .dds files so I tried resizing them to make them smaller but the addon would not then work :-(

Is there a way to get it to auto target cast just directly under me, forego the targeting all together, aka eliminate the "range"?

Needs an update I guess. AoE skills won't cast while the addon is on.
