Ability Question

[JeveKnight]

This is probably a noob question, but is there any ability that i can base an ability off of that is AOE but sends a projectile out and does lets say 10 damage in one projectile. I cant find an ability to base it off of, and I really need help.
I just need to find an ability that hurls a projectile at a target area (AOE) and damages all units x dmg in the AOE.
THANKS ill +Rep anyone willing to help.

would cluster rockets work?

Use healing spray but make the damage/healing negative so it damages instead of heals.

would cluster rockets work?

Ive tried that, it doesnt have the effect I want.
All I want is something like Flamestrike where it does a set # of damage to an AOE but I want it to send a project at the given target area.

 

[AdventCore]

Kind of like a grenade?

 

[JeveKnight]

Kind of like a grenade?

Yes, like a grenade.
The ability in my map is called "Tidal Strike" where it sends a water projectile in an area damaging all units like a grenade.

 

[AdventCore]

Hmm. Maybe try basing it off Acid Bomb.

 

[istar]

why dont use trigger a dummy to cast flamestrike on the area, then the base spell use something like inferno with altered projectile

Fan of Knives?

Edit:
Wrong answer .

 

[JeveKnight]

I think im gonna use cluster rockets, but I dont want a stun. Anyway to take stun off cluster rockets?

 

[vypur85]

Cluster Rockets which targets no units. And trigger another dummy to cast Fan of Knives when the projectile reaches the target point. Should be quite simple.

 

[istar]

nope
if you put stun time to 0, it last forever, the best is set it to 0.01 mini stun, but it cancels channeling

 

[vypur85]

> if you put stun time to 0, it last forever

Targets allowed - None


Then trigger the damage. Just need a little wait, but still can be MUI.

@vypur85

MUI wait you say?
I've always been baffled about this. How is this done?

 

[vypur85]

Local variables can be recognised through waits within a function. Some other event responses like 'Triggering unit', and 'Dying unit' can make it past waits. Test it yourself:

Event
 A unit starts the effect of an ability
Condition
 Ability being cast Equal to SomeAbility
Actions
 Special effect - Create SFX at Position of (Triggering unit)....
 Wait - 10 seconds...
 Special effect - Create SFX at Position of (Triggering unit)....
 Wait - 10 seconds...
 Special effect - Create SFX at Position of (Triggering unit)....

If you cast multiple times, the sfx will still appear accordingly. But this is only true for 'Triggering unit' and some other event responses, not all (not majority of them).
