Multi-Shot ability?

[addeownage]

im trying to make a multishot ability for my tower defence. Ive based the ability on "Barrage" but it doesnt seem to work.

Heres the ability:



1. what have i done wrong?
2. if nothing is wrong and it should work, can i base multishot on any other ability or add extra targets for normal attacks??

+rep for solvage

your tower needs to have it's own attack for barrage to work, if it dosen't it is easy to give it one, also make sure your towers range and barrage range are the same.

edit, if you just want your tower to attack 3 units, set barrage to 2 targets and set your towers damage to 8.

i did exactly as u told me but it still inst working. The tower gets the ability but it just seems it wont trigger

 

[Dameon]

is the ability blacked out?, also can I see an image of your tower settings?

 

[addeownage]

what do you mean blacked out? if you mean thats its visible on then unit then no, it isnt blacked out. you can see the icon on the tower as an ability.

also heres the attack settings for the unit:

multi shot dosen't like missile line, try to make it to just missile and see if it helps.

1) this is normal Warcraft III stuff, so it wouldn't be because of a trigger unless you did something to it.

2) are you sure that the barrage ability and your tower have the same range?

3) why do you have Area of Effect set to 750? that doesn't do anything.

4) what is Barrage? the only Barrage I know of is for the Goblin dude and his isn't a passive/auto-cast spell.

5) Tri-Arcane doesn't make sense. You're basically saying Three-Magic

EDIT: I think I see the problem.

1) Why would you need a Barrage ability if you made the tower attack 3 units?

2) Don't use missile line, just whatever it was.

 

[Dameon]

area of effect is the range to multi shot can fire, cast range dont matter cause you dont cast it

you dont need the 3 in the tower cause that is only for missile bounce

tri arcane, tri being the number of units attacked and arcane being the attack type, or maybe he just likes the name.

your spell is fine, I can find nothing wrong with it.

the cooldown on barrage dont matter, it goes by the towers cooldown

Change "Combat - Attack 1 - Weapon Type" from missile line to just missile. That should work.

 

[addeownage]

dameon is completely right, i should totally work... ill try to change from (line), but i dont think it will change anything

 

[addeownage]

okay that was actually the problem, thanks!

now i have another problem though. the targets are alot more then 2-3 even though i set "maximum targets" to "2". It attacks ALL nearby enemies :O

i mean.. WTF

 

[Dameon]

try setting barrage to 1 target and see if that helps.

It is because your ''maximum total damage'' is too high.

Simply imput the number of that mathemetical equation:

Maximum total damage = (number of target X damage dealth) + 5-20

Ex:

Number of target: 3
Damage per attack: 100
maximum total damage: 300
To be sure it doesnt attack 2 units, set it to 305-320.

this actually is the main problem for barrage beginners, you need to have an higher damage maximum then the number of targets it will shot X the number of damage it will do. If you set it to 100 and your number of target to shot are 3 and your damage dealt are 50, it will only shot 2 targets, if you set it to 500, it will automaticly shot 10 targets, it only depends on maximum total damage, nothing else.

You made it 9999, dont expect it to shot only 3 ennemies. LOL!

You see?

i dont know if you know but he was asking help because, after having this done, he still had problems, you should be the one who read, it was clearly mentioned in his first post and there was no answer about his question in the link you gave!
