Request for targetted AOE preview

[Hedgefund]

I've been playing a game that allows the player to preview what an area effect would affect and I think that capability would help players make better decisions with aoe targetting.

 

Here's an example of a cone preview:

 

This is an example of a location based aoe:

 

Unfortunately I don't have an example of an enemy centered AOE (like Fireball) from this game (which is XCOM 2: War of the Chosen) to show.

 

In both of these images, the range and width of both the cone and location are shown so the player can use the power maximally.

 

If I had to prioritize, or only request one of

1) cone

2) location based

3) enemy centered
I'd put cone at #1.  The narrower cones (eg Full Auto, Piercing Beam) could benefit the most.

This would be lovely, if at all possible.

Totally. Especially for cones. It is awful to use one and it just tickles the front few in a mob and no others.

I don't know if it's possible, but I'd love it if it were.
