shadowstep bug

[twostepscloser]

well, i thought i should contribute something, since i've been here for a while.
i know some of this is a repost, but other parts can be extremely useful for exploration+hiding+im sure you guys could think of other uses.

Shadowstep can be used to go through any obstacle, it is EXTREMELY useful for exploration. For example, the pesky invisible wall outside of Karazhan that leads to Kara Crypts? you can either:

a. Duel with a friend to enter combat, have them stand against the wall, and shadowstep behind them, effectively teleporting into the barrier (you can then just walk backwards)

b. have the same thing happen when you are trying to escape an enemy and they have a back to a wall. shadowstep+walk backwards, then they have to go around, giving you time to heal/rebuff or whatever.

c. (easiest way) target yourself! stand up against a wall, and shadowstep! instantly through the wall!

if you have any problems targeting yourself or a friendly player, you can use User's macro, as shown belo

1: Create a new macro: /cast [target=focus] Shadowstep
 2: Set a target as focus (can be neutral or friendly)
 3: Click on the macro, when you are in the correct range of an other, right target (+position?).
 4: You will get teleported to the focus.

this can be used to get into those hard-to-reach places, such as the room behind AQ, Karazhan Crypts, underneath stormwind or orgrimmar, Old IF, etc.

sorry if anything was reposted, i searched and couldn't find anything directly relating to this, other than User's macro that allows neutral targeting.

searched: shadowstep, shadowstep bug, shadowstep wall

i tested this on 2 different emu servers and on the EU realm Skullcrushers.

guys i cant belive u reped him
rofl he knew thhis was a repost if he did search shadowstep theres over 20 posts about this and it has been hotfixed ages ago so ovisly he knew it was repost he just wants free rep off someone els thing

[twostepscloser]

i searched in several places. i didnt find anything that directly related to this. i said so in my post.

[twostepscloser]

im more than happy to accept that i ****ed up and reposted, but could you tell me where? cuz i honestly searched and did not find anything that was stating the same use of this that i posted about. there were things about teleporting far, but not through walls for exploration. so i posted this.

if it is a repost, someone lock it so people don't waste there time.

well, its not more of a repost then it was hotfixed :x
did you try it before you posted it?

here is the link to the first post... http://www.mmowned.com/forums/wow-ex...verywhere.html

[twostepscloser]

yes i tried it. as of like half an hour ago it worked :S

and i checked that post, i got my quote from there. he says that you can use it in a bg to teleport far, while mine has none of the same intent.

[twostepscloser]

and the hotfix prevents use of it for teleporting across maps or the world or whatever, as User's post suggests you use it for.

Works, but you can't teleport further than 1000 yd range or something like that.

mine is only for use over very short range. usually no more than one or two yards.

Seriously, try stuff out before you post. This was fixed a while ago.

[twostepscloser]

someone kill this post now, people aren't listening.

yes i tried it. as of like half an hour ago it worked

[twostepscloser]

furthermore.

i tested this on 2 different emu servers and on the EU realm Skullcrushers.

I dont understand, u cant Shadowstep a friendly npc or player.

[twostepscloser]

the macro allows you to.
