Alittle Ability Help

[Darkenneko]

Hello everyone,
Ahem, I'm trying to make a ability, based off of, Searing Arrows,
accept I want it for a Melee Hero. I've tried to base it, but it doesn't work, or
to my knowledge it doesn't, Its inside a spell book of the heroes if that matters any.
Also, the reason I "Think" it dosn't work is because there is a flame graphic that
plays when the unit is hit, but it doesn't.

Thanks Everyone for Reading. =]

Too make sure that it works/doesnt work, try mking the damage huge (1shot capable) then see if it works, if it doent kill it in 1 shot then it doesnt work, what have u got the range set to?

Edit: Also since there is NO "art - target" preent for searing arrows i would assume that the fire effect is from the projectile art, which if you have turned off would not show up.

i recon if your looking for a little tiny burst of flame when a melee hero attacks you should go with orb of fires graphics they have a flame sound as well. searing arrows doesnt rly work. it is, after all, searing ARROWS

I tried it out and "Searing Arrows" worked for my meelee hero without even changing a single option. Dont worry about the animation stuff, it will not cause a spell not to work. but it would surely look better, if the effect of the spell and the animation stick together...

Maybe because yours isn't inside a Spellbook?
My abilities will all be inside a Spellbook Ability for my Heroes.
Just thought I'd point that Out. =D

Ah, im beat then, lol im sure i got it to work with black arrow yesterday for my templar ]

Edit: Is it possible to base it off bash or something, change the % to 100 and give it a mana cost? but u wouldnt be able ot turn it off, which would be a pain in the ass

Hmm...
Didn't seem to help none.
Also, it was already a Unit spell, this problem is probably because its inside
a spell book. =/ Well, thank you all for you help, I'll think of something.
