-:;inRange : Flag - nil if the slot has no action or if there is no current target. 0 if the action is out of range, and 1 if the action is in range. Note that it always returns 1 if range does not apply to this action  or if you can't use the spell on the target.
+If you need more performance than target switching and checking with IsActionInRange provides then check out [[API_CheckInteractDistance|CheckInteractDistance]]. It has certain limits and will not work for all ranges, but it is several orders of magnitude faster than target switching/scanning.
