    I used to know this but I guess it escaped me awhile ago. : ( I need to know how to make a unit stand sideways. You know, like how people do with special effect units for all their kamehameha spells and such.

    Resource Icons

    So I was playing with the game interface yesterday, searching for an icon I used to use a very long time ago to replace the gold icon for certain maps. The icon sort of looks like a crystal that was almost made to be the third icon resource. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore : ( If anyone...

    Deathcoil Problem

    So I've created a dummy spell based off Deathcoil whos purpose is to simply launch a projectile that causes damage and doesnt add a buff or stun or any such thing to the target. The problem is that it always causes the Deathcoil target graphic; the black swirl that appears on the target upon...

    I can't get Burning Crusade >.<

    So I bought a brand new computer, and I was able to install the original WoW on it just fine, but apparently my TBC disks are scratched, and the online download from the WoW site doesn't work... why, I couldn't tell you, but it doesn't. So basically what I'm asking is if anyone knows a simple...

    Move Instantly trigger causing spell to not function correctly

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to create a spell similar to WoW's Shadowstep (or DotA's Blink Strike, whichever you're more familiar with). The spell is supposed to instantly warp the casting hero behind the target, then cause damage with a suprise attack. I have based the spell off chain lightning...

    How do I detect when an auto cast attack amplifier is cast?

    Simple question in the title. What I mean is, how do i detect when a spell such as searing arrows or frost arrows is cast, because "starts the effect of an ability" doesn't seem to initiate the trigger.

    Damage reduction issue

    Recreating critical strike - how do I refer to damaged unit?

    Okay, I'm trying to make a trigger that basically will do exactly what critical strike does. This is my trigger so far, right now it crashes the game, but I know why and thats not the problem. The problem is that I do not know how to refer to the damaged unit, as highlighted in the code...

    Making heroes and synergy

    Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone really pays extreme attention to synergy in a hero when playing it. When I look around, I see heroes like the Goblin Alchemist, or Dota's Drow Ranger, and notice they don't really have that much synergy in their spells, very little atleast. More...

    Titles before Custom Titles

    Okay, I'm slightly confused on this subject and how the titles before you're allowed to make your own custom title work. I noticed my title says "Veteran User" but I havn't been here that long, and I see people with much more posts than me and they have titles that seem to be lesser than...

    AoE heal trigger not working

    Okay, so I made this simple healing spell, just target an area and heal all friendlies in it. I took a rain of fire with most everything set to 0 for the spell, then made a healing wave that doesn't bounce for the dummy unit to cast on each unit in the area. Now when I cast it, all it does is...
