Hey,
Finely moving abilities from design doc to ORK :D and I had some questions about more trickier abilities.
1) I'm trying to recreate ability like this:
What happens is cells in certain shape get selected in relation to player. Is it possible to create something like this with ORK? Maybe by rotating player towards the target during selection? Any option for that? (I got very confused between ORK's selection/affect options.)
2) Similarly if I want to attack all targets around player in a square grid whats the best setup?
3) I have AOE ability that encourages allies and discourages enemies. Is the best way to do this to have two copies of the ability and cast second one in event of the first one?
4) Battle Range's "Move into position" option does not work on grid right?
Thanks!
This setting in status effects will force player character into AI mode and auto attack allies? Or only works on AI opponents?
2) Use a battle range with either a Range or Mask shape type.
3) Either that or simply do the ally (or enemy) changes manually in the event (e.g. using Change Status Effect node).
4) No, it's only for use with the move AI.
5) It also forces player combatants to attack allies, same as Auto Attack just targeting allies.
6) Try setting using the auto remove settings of the effect with an In Action status requirement.

For #2 so battle range is the range of cells where I can target combatant right? and affect range is about what cells around target will be affected by ability?
So logical problem I have is I need the affect range origin to be player. So the logical step is to use self ability, but that would also make target group player right? So I'm kind of confused how to set affect range origin to be player cell, but target group to be enemies or allies or all combatants (depending on ability).
If all targets around the player should be used, use the Group target range, that'll use all targets within use range. The target type handles which group (allies/enemies) is used.
Also, the next update will add some filtering options to the Select Combatant node to only selected enemies or allies of a user, that way you can set up abilities that target all combatants around the user (allies and enemies) and separate the groups in the battle event to do different stuff to them (e.g. damage the enemies and buff the allies).

For example, if I have a fireball spell that damages everyone within 2 squares of fireball origin, and 3 enemies fall within that ability affect radius. Can I add highlight effects to all? Similar to how target selection of single combatant highlights them?

This'll not destroy the spawned prefab and remove the combatant from battle (and also from the cell).

Could there be anything overriding that?
I had this set in combatant settings but combatant cell remains blocked.
In the meantime, you can use a Set Grid Cell Combatant node in the death battle event to remove the combatant from the cell (set as Remove).
Edit: Tested it and the cell was freed as expected on a combatant's death (without using a Set Grid Cell Combatant node).
Naturally, if the prefab remains and still has colliders enabled, it might block physically moving on the cell :)

Without it it didn't strange. I don't think it had to do with collider, I tried disabling collider and prefab gameobject and cell remained blocked. Also the cell had ally highlight and if I moved mouse over it the invalid move highlight and cursor.
