Suggestion Prevent Scan From Self Targeting

[Delfofthebla]

Scan is a really good ability that, unfortunately, is almost impossible to use effectively.

The targeting system in Herocraft is unfortunately not as accurate as we'd all hope for. It requires very precise pointing, and it is also effected by lag / de-sync issues. This is an issue we all deal with, but certain abilities that are affected by these issues are more troublesome than others. Scan is one of these abilities.

We cope with all of this by simply spamming the living crap out of whatever ability we're wanting to use on our target in hopes of it getting off the moment the game "agrees" with our target choice.

Scan is an effective combat ability that would allow you to change your combat decisions based on the information you receive. However, due to the fact that it targets yourself, it's almost impossible to land it on the enemy. Spamming it repeatedly only wastes your mana, and your time.

Because of this, I believe Scan should not target the player who uses it.

EDIT: 7 Agrees and no further input. Kainzo?

We may be able to stop this from self-targeting. I'll have to look into the code to see if we can stop this.
