Title: [SOLVED] How to remove zone limit from spells?
Post by: dbbaker01 on August 18, 2015, 12:44:07 am: Some spells in the game are awesome, but unfortunately some may be have the "May only be used in {zone}." thing.

Take this one (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=42786/echo-of-ymiron) for instance. When you cast it, it gives you that nice white and blurry vista. You know, the thing where you can't see anything 10 feet away 'cause of the intense white and everything has a blur to it that keeps bouncing around? Yeah, that.
Sadly, it's only usable in Wyrmskull Village.

I tried a few things like changing AreaGroup to 0 in the spell's dbc. Also looked for something in SQL but nothing. No matter what, though, it would behave the same way when I logged on and tested it: I click it, and it just gives me the big fat "You need to be in Wyrmskull Village." sentence in red.

Can someone help me out with this? Thanks. :D

The worldserver doesn't load the client dbc, but actually your client also checks if you can cast your stuff.
I think they do that to save some network traffic. If the client already said that you can't cast it, then you don't need to ask the server if you can cast it. :P

Code: [Select]
uint32 Attributes; // 4 m_attribute uint32 AttributesEx; // 5 m_attributesEx uint32 AttributesEx2; // 6 m_attributesExB uint32 AttributesEx3; // 7 m_attributesExC uint32 AttributesEx4; // 8 m_attributesExD uint32 AttributesEx5; // 9 m_attributesExE uint32 AttributesEx6; // 10 m_attributesExF0 based spell.dbc. It is somewhere there, as far as I know. At least outland-limited spells (fly mounts) are.
