Charged Shot
An aim helper for chargeable abilities: while the ability charges/builds up, the script aims it at the best target around your crosshair. Used by abilities with a charge โ Orion's (Grey Talon) Charged Shot and Yamato's Power Slash.
Menu locationโ
Heroes โ <hero> โ Charged Shot
The node is only present on heroes with a chargeable ability. On Orion it is named Charged Shot; on Yamato it is Power Slash (the same control set).
What it doesโ
While the chargeable ability channels (charges), the script:
- Searches for the best target within the FoV radius around the crosshair (living enemy heroes only).
- Aims at the chosen point on the target โ head, neck, or body โ according to Aim point (falling back to the body center if the bone is unavailable).
- If the charged projectile has a finite speed, it leads the target by its velocity, accounting for projectile speed and gravity; otherwise it aims directly at the point.
- Steers with the chosen method (Type): Standard (turns the view), PSilent (silent aim with no view movement), or Hybrid (both). In Standard/Hybrid you can set how smoothly the view eases on with the Smooth slider.
- Optionally draws an FoV ring at the camera showing the search radius.
For Yamato's melee ability (Power Slash), the aim works via the cast delay, and the view turn is visible (normal, not silent), so the Smooth slider stays available.
