"attack" abillity

[HydraRancher]

I want an abillity for my unit which cant attack that when "A" (the hotkey) is pressed then the unit attacks thin air. If it hits something (projectile) the thing will take damage. If the bullet say hits the edge of the map or something it explodes and it says miss on the hero. how can I do this?

 

[Galdiuz]

A nontargeted spell, a dummy and some triggers.
You know, a unit starts a spell, create and slide dummy, unit comes within range of dummy, deal damage ect.

Here's one I made. Its a stamina and a combat system. To change the hot key, got to abilities and change it. And just to warn you, the system isn't MUI or MPI.

heya

was working on dummy attack to. I got help from Dirac who gave me this map (look http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=119699), for the attacking projectile ima guess u make the projectiles themselves a dummy unit and trigger it that way. hope it helps gl

Added new variables into it and edited some:

CV = Integer
Dummy = Unit Array
All variables are arrays

This might work. I made it work for all units, not just preplaced units too. If you have any problems, tell me. You also need a unit with no model called Dummy. Ill update this to make him die when CV is equal to 1000.

 

[HydraRancher]

what do you mean by "Make him die when CV is 1000" Can you post all the variables?
btw I only need a melee attack I realised I can use something else for ranged attack.

 

[D.V.D]

Your dummy that is made to set the custom value and keep it somewhere die when he isn't needed. So when CV is 1000, all the dummies will die that aren't used. I tried making this MUI. Failed. I really need help but I can post the map for you. The entire code doesn't work.

 

[HydraRancher]

I kind of need a MUI working trigger sorry for the pain +rep for trying though

 

[Dirac]

I created an ability called Shiv, the hero has a chance to launch a projectile on each attack and its MUI, here is the trigger, i will upload a map if needed.

[HydraRancher]

my things quite different. the way it works is when you press A the unit will play attack animation, if their weapon actually colided with a unit, it gets hurt and displays the damage else it says miss

 

[Dirac]

Actually its very the same, just add the animation action, a floating text, change the event to A unit beings casting an ability and change the points from Attacked unit to Target point of ability being cast

 

[HydraRancher]

I think I found a solution, when testing someones submission to someone elses problem I found they had triggers which indeed did this, I will answer again if it doesnt work.
