Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding Troubleshooting [Bug] Jump Animation for a Target Skill Error

Using a jump skill cast animation for a target skill ("skill_cast_teleport_air_01_cast") causes the cast to fail the first time, every time. I've tried a combination of different preparation animations, melee enabled/disabled, different requirements, and for whatever reason, the cast simply fails the first time.

Once I recast the skill, it works, but then the cycle starts over the next time I go to cast it.

You can see here, it looks like I'm cancelling the skill prep, bit I'm actually left clicking on the target:

What makes this bug extra weird is I can do that first cast (which fails), then walk around a bit and wait, and when I cast the second time, it works. So it's as if something is set after that first cast, which enables the second to work, but then is reset afterwards, causing the next cast to fail again.

When I switch the jump animation to something else, like "skill_attack_precision_01_cast", it works every time.

Unfortunately, I can't switch to a jump type skill for this particular skill, since it requires a character target.

Upon further testing, it seems there's another bug:

Casting a jump skill with "CharacterUseSkillAtPosition" seems to ignore all animations/effects, and just teleports the character to the position. I've tried it with Phoenix Dive also, and it gets the same results.

Likewise, casting my target spell with the jump animation through a story script (CharacterUseSkillAtPosition and CharacterUseSkill) has the same problem.

Edit: Whoops, seems that latest "bug" was actually just a result of not delaying the next skill cast long enough - I added some more time to my timer and it plays the animations correctly now. Still experiencing the bug in the original post of course, but I may be able to work around it through a script.
