[Beta15b] targetting of teleport

[keekooceeaou]

When I cast teleport, i get red targetting "beam" with cross (5 grids) on the end. When I click outside of LOS* it changes to blue. Then I can target it normally.

*didn't try it in LOS

teleport has a minimum range, which is probably why it was red at first.

[keekooceeaou]

I've checked it thoroughly. I got following behavior:

1) Cast teleport
2) I get the targetting "beam" - blue in LOS, red outside of LOS (picture 1)
3) I click on my destination
4) Targetting beam changes to blue, with green LOS in my target space. It can be cross (5 grids) when I target solid wall (picture 2), or LOS if I target empty space* (picture 3).

*It's handy, now that Vision is nerfed, as I can see shapes of unvisited rooms (especially helpful in sandworm lair).


Another thing: I think that minimum range (15 in my case) doesn't work. I managed to teleport short distance (next to my starting location too) and it doesn't matter if I target next to me or not.

I've discovered what is this "double targetting" caused by.
I had teleport talent on level 4, and forgot that effective level (5 and something) decides, whether I can teleport somebody else.

Still, there should be proper message: "Choose creature to teleport" or something like that.
I got only "Player casts teleport" and forgot about teleport other function.

The log could be used to remind the player if you wanted. For example this could be added to the talent:

Code: Select all

		if self:getTalentLevel(t) >= 4 then
			game.logPlayer(self, ("%s selects a target to teleport..."):format(self.name))
...
		if self:getTalentLevel(t) >= 5 then
			game.logPlayer(self, ("%s selects a teleport location..."):format(self.name))

These would be added to both PD and TP.
