Custom Knock Special Ablity

Callirgos

Hello. I've got a custom innate spell of the Knock Spell working but there's one thing I'd like to refine.

The range of the spell is set to 0, however the character can still be some distance from the locked object.
I want to get the spell to require the character to be right next to the locked object. Is there a better way to do this?

Not really as a spell.

When casting spells, you are given extra range to account for the space taken up by your own selection circle. It appears that this distance is doubled when targeting a container.

For example, the PC races get +2ft (+4ft for a container), while a dragon gets +7ft (+14ft for a container).
On top of that they get a (semi) random amount between 0/16 and 15/16 ft.

Item abilities don't get this extra range, so that may be an alternative.

perhaps try setting it to 1 and see what happens

Can you do fractions for ranges like 0.5?

Callirgos

1 produces the same result. Montaron stands about 3 paces away from the dresser when casting. Values like 0.5 aren't accepted.

Maybe you found the minimum spell range for objects.
