Tree Targeting

I have an ability based on storm bolt which I placed on an item. The abilty has been modified to be an item ability and to target only trees. However, whenever I click on a tree, it still says Must target a tree. What can I do?

Maybe storm bolt can't target trees?

Maybe the tree isn't a destructable or doesn't have the classification "tree"

Actually, I have a similar problem. Spells based off the Inferno, tend to destroy trees...which I don't want! How can I make it STOP targeting trees?

No, tree isn't marked as target..

Think solving one would solve the other...

No to the 2nd one, but the first one, maybe...... Though it's set to target trees....

If a tree isn't classified as "Tree" it is no longer a tree, but just a doodad with the tree model.

Yeah I know, but it IS targeted tree.

Some abilities are annoyingly hard coded; force of nature MUST target trees (workaround: Set other doodads to Tree).

Hurl Boulder CAN target destructibles; have you tried basing a skill off of that?

Hey, for ZS, all you have to do is make trees classified as decoration or something.

Yeah but decoartion is being used for something. I'll try to use Hurl Boulder. I'm at school now so I can't do it until sometime in like 6 hours. I'll tel you then

Yes, that is really annoying when you are making dummy spells, however I had to base the spell from stasis trap just make both the adquisition radious and the other radious have the area of effect value
