chain lightning auto-cast?

[Menelaus]

i have a tower in a td that i want to cast chain lightning instead of attacking.

how would i go about doing this? im having some trouble

- Unit - A unit is attacked

- Owner of (attacked unit) belongs to player 12
- Unit-type of (attacking unit) equal to Lightning Tower

- Unit - Order (attacking unit) to Orc Farseer - Chain Lightning (attacked unit)

Something along those lines.

You should also, hopefully obviously, lower the damage of the tower to 1, as well as removing the Missile graphics.

umm... this is what i think:

have the tower setup to what u want it
go to art: (i think) missle type: ans select chain lightning so when it hits is uses chain lightning instead of a normal shot

That will just shoot the chain lightning graphic, it will not have the same effect as a chain lightning (bouncing/multiple targets).

Kirbyman has the right idea.

And:
You'd need to give them the ability "Lightning Attack", that is what allows them to actually shoot out a Lightning Effect.

there are a few ways you can do this..

#1 (probably the easiest) - give an orb ability based off of chain lightning
#2 - give the tower a bouncing attack and change the projectile model to nothing, and add a lightning effect (think like huntress bounce)
#3 - trigger it, but make the tower have the ability and give it a cooldown that's equal to the tower's attack speed if you use "event - a unit is attacked"

#3 worked great

thanks

Orb of lightning.

Set the spell = to your spell. You can edit the % of the proc.

Isn't this hi-jacking thread?

Anyways, to give a % chance to release chain lightning, an easy way would be to use "Orb of lightning (new)". Under the chance to hit, set your chance. Then just change the ability under "Data - Effect Ability" to chain lightning.
