I was wondering, AoE spells like fireball and cone of cold. Would it be possible to have them be activated like a  single target spell?

As in, press fireball, and the fireball would launch to your current target. As in, your target would be the center of the AoE.

I know it isn't much effort to just press it with my mouse, but it would be a nice tweak, one I'm sure a lot of other lazy mages out there would want, were it possible.

It might be a script limitation then. the script involved is dae_mage_aoe_instant.ncs, but that doesn't help much... AFAIK all AOE spells require targeting.

hmm.. actually, what you probably also need to change is the target type.Mind Blast, for example, uses the same script but doesn't require targeting. In that case, target_type is 1 (casting character), and target_auto is also 1 (true). However, by contrast fireball and cone of cold are target_type 12 (probably the code for AOE targeting). Since Winter's Grasp is kind of similar to what you're looking for, you could try that target_type (4).

From what I can tell, these are the target types available:

1 (self) -- arcane shield, mind blast,..
2 (party member but not self) -- sacrifice (bloodmage)
3 (party member or self) -- force field
4 (targeted enemy) -- winter's grasp, stonefist, crushing prison, etc
5 (default attack)
12 (AOE designated) -- fireball, cone of cold
15 (AOE unknown. might be a mix of 4 and 12) Dispel, glyph of repulsion, smokescreen

There also seem to be some target_types only used by monsters,
8 (unknown) -- stone golem hurl
9 (unknown) -- rock wraith teleport

10
11
13
14

I'm guessing there is only a total of 16 target types, 0 to 15. (0, of course, being no target)

I'd recommend trying 15 and if that fails, try 4. My only concern with 4 might be that you (probably) lose the ability to designate the area -- you would have to choose a target.

Those are bit flags. We use that for a number of things.

1 = self
2 = friendly
4 = hostile
8 = location
