For instance, I was playing with they Journeyman Necromancer. It says on him that for 2 flux, once per round, I can turn all corpses in sight into zombies. How do I use that ability?

In download version: hold down left mouse a second and then chose the star from that pie.

In Flash: Select the guy then look where it is building the action in your player status. Next to your name the small picture of the guy. There will be a star on it. click it.

Obviously neither of these ways is very intuitive and we are changing it. If anyone has good ideas for how you should trigger an Entities Special action please let us know.

1) Using the current select scheme (just clicking on it then you can move/attack), use the auto "figure-it-out". This option might be a lot of code to implement though, as special abilities are all kinds of stuff.

2) Add a button in the creature view. It's faster than holding down the left mouse button. Only a little bit of code to implement. (Woo! A button! How hard can it be? :roll: :lol:)

3) Pop up the menu with a right-click instead of holding down the left mouse button. Possibly might be smallest amount of code.

That's all I can think of right now.

a standard right click might be easiest i only found the special abilities on accident.

I'm not sure if its a bug but the necromancer can cast his special ability during his summoning sickness.

Nah, that's not a bug. All creatures with abilities can use them regardless of being dimmed or incapacitated in any way.

Well it depends on the guy actually. This: Image means that the special action dims him so he can't perform it while dimmed.
