Attachments and abilities

[chanta45]

Ok I need help with attachments and abilities. 1. Is there a way to combine abilities like blink and impale. So lets say I click on a spot, my hero blink there and the impale fallows bwhind him/her. Also can someone show me the correct format how to do the item ability thing. What I mean is I want to put a farseer missle on the left hand of my footman. Someone please type out how to do it.

Ok I think you take the blink ability and edit the art for target to impale, but im not sure if that damages the things that get hit by impale so think you might need to use Impale and use edit the art for the caster to blink but then im not sure if it will move the caster.

That helps somewhat, but I need it to damage. Anyone whos played DoTa look at the Sand Kings burrowstrike. Someone please help me with attachements

If you want a combined ability effect, you have to use dummy units. That is, units that aren't detectable by the players, (having no model file, has locust ability to make it unselectable, zero collision size, etc.) Give the dummy unit the abilty you want cast, and then make triggers do whatever you want.

There is a trigger function that can do damage. Just use that.

A farseer missle in the left hand of your footman? It has to be an attachment. I don't feel like typing it all out, but go to world edit tutorials on the left side of the forum page and check those out.
