I am looking for abilities that are both auto-castable (that is, the player can "right click them") and can target the ground. After a cursory glance through the ability-list I found only one, which is Kaboom! (Goblin Sapper). (And obviously, the three clockwerk versions, but since they share the same base-order they are useless). Does anyone know of ANY other auto-castable ability that cab be made to allow the player to target the ground? |

If you are just looking for a way for the player to trigger "right-clicking" the ground, you could use the rally point ability. |

@paidan_fain: I am not trying to detect right clicking the ground. I am looking for abilities that 1: Allows the player to target the ground (that is, left click the ability and then left click the ground) and 2: Is an auto-cast ability, so that I can also detect if the player right clicks on the ability icon. |

I believe that there aren't any others. |

it would most likely have to be trigger based.. |

Kaboom is a viable choice, although not if you want it ranged. Warcraft doesn't seem to like a ranged kaboom. Instead of blowing up, the unit freezes, and then the game crashes. Not so good. |

Yeah, I have pretty much given up on the ground-targetable auto-castable ability. It only means that a small sub-section of my heroes' abilities must either have no target or unit target. No big deal. OR MAYBE I CAN PUT INVISIBLE UNITS ALL OVER THE MAP TO BE TARGETED!!!! :D Nah, it's no biggie :) |
