Why is it that if i try to heal someone with /healDamage who is under 7m it gives me "no valid medicine found"? But if I actually attempt to "use" the medicine from my inv or a hotkey it works?

Anyone else have this problem?

when you're closer than 7 meters to your target, it tries to use small stimpacks instead of ranged stimpacks. If you don't have any in your inventory it decides you have no valid medicine. I keep powerful small stimpack Cs in my inventory for this (its also cheaper than my more powerful ranged stims)

Take your ranged stim and stick it in place of your /healdamage button. This solves the problem...just make sure you aren't caught empty handed at a cruical point while fighting =p

This also applies for poison. I have an 84m Poison for long-ranged weak attacks and a 62m poison for short-ranged powerful attacks. The game will not automatically pick the long range poison if I am out of range of the short range poison...sort of annoying to hotkey 4 different poisons.

Another problem related to this - using an AoE heal on yourself cancels out the AoE - has killed my group a few times tonite.
