Kunai Strike

Description: Tosses 5 kunai in 5 different direction infront of the hero. Dealing damage to those who got struck by the kunai.

Skill used - Shockwave

I think I ruined the code up >.>

I need help to code the skill to make the hero cast 5 shockwave skill at 5
direction.

1st throw being 80 degree on the left
2nd throw being 40 degree on the left
3rd throw being right infront of where the hero targeted
4th throw being 40 degree on the right
5th throw being 80 degree on the right

cast time between each throw is 0.2 sec

Code:

Kunai Storm
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Kunai Storm (Cast Point)
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing (Position of (Triggering unit))
        Unit - Add Kunai Toss (Damage Point) to (Last created unit)
        Wait 0.20 game-time seconds
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave (Target point of ability being cast)
        Wait 0.20 game-time seconds
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave ((Target point of ability being cast) offset by (300.00, 0.00))
        Wait 0.20 game-time seconds
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave ((Target point of ability being cast) offset by (-300.00, 0.00))
        Wait 0.20 game-time seconds
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave ((Target point of ability being cast) offset by (600.00, 0.00))
        Wait 0.20 game-time seconds
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave ((Target point of ability being cast) offset by (-600.00, 0.00))
        Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

Firstly, it would be easier to Loop it (Make 5, then make them all cast it, making an angle variable different each time. And 90 is north in the world Editor, not 0 (It's east)

of course.. modify at will

and use "polar offset" and arithmetic.

Just do it in a loop.

show me yours then

This is my version with a loop =)

Code:

Melee Initialization

        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to (Your Ability)
    Actions
        Set Caster_Point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        For each (Integer A) from 0 to 4, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Create 1 (Dummy Unit) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Caster_Point facing (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees
                Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
                Set Temp_Point = (Caster_Point offset by 300.00 towards (0.00 + (40.00 x (Real((Integer A))))) degrees)
                Unit - Add Shockwave to (Last created unit)

yeah.. and look it only shoots 4 shockwaves, when the skill description stated 5,

and also wrong direction 40*(integer a)?

it says 40 and 80 degree from left... 40 and 80 degree from right and one in the front (0 degree).. not 0,40,80,120,160.... nice try btw.

    Conditions

    Actions
        Set GiantGlaivesOn = False

Spread Shot was made for my total-synergy hero. In short, it thrrows 5 glaives as you described; if he has Giant Glaives (Searing Arrows) autocasted it throws more damaging and larger ones. The other two parts are for his other spells... disregard those.
