About Meteor

[merlinds]

I love to name my threads "About Something" it makes me feels so serious

Now with the question,

How do i make a friendly meteor?? i mind, a meteor skill that does not damage allys and self, only enemies.
For those who plays dota, the pit lord will be the example.

Thanks in advance

Change the Targets Allowed field? It's hard to tell what you mean by "Meteor Skill" - do you mean abilities wherein effects are created and units in the area are damaged? Or just abilities where things fall from the sky?

I don't know if this is any use to you. It's my Inferno ability. That I'm going to rename to Meteor. It summons one Meteor to the target area stunning enemies in the target area and damaging them.

If you'd like me too, I can throw it into a test map for you.

I sure would. The effects look awesome.

Please note I reduced the cooldown from 60 to 1, so it's testable.

Edit:After playing about with it. It needs a lightning noise when the lightning fx comes in. I'll work on that

 

[merlinds]

I will try it later but it seems to have a lot of work on the SFXs so i imagine it sure looks awsome.
But, i still want my friendly meteor, im refering to the skill where burning stones fall from the sky damaging all units in the area on the impact and burning them for X amount of damage during X amount of time.
The skill has the same mechanics than the blizzard skill from human hero Jaina (from the campaing)
I have tryied changing the allowed targets, but that option only defines where you can cast the spell, not the targets that the skill damages.

I think he means the skill "Rain of Fire". The default Rain of Fire deals damage to enemies and allies. Like KaerfNomekop says, change the 'Targets Allowed' and add e "enemy" option and u will get it.

 

[merlinds]

Oh sry the skill is named "Raind of Fire", silly me. I will try again, but im pretty sure that i have tryied that. Thankz!!

 

[KaerfNomekop]

Try this.
