I tried to search around for an answer but no luck... probably something quite simple but: How do I make an ability based off of Channel show a missile like a normal ability such as shadow strike or death coil (targetted to a unit that is).

Basically, how do I go about making Channel shoot a missile at the target? I am guessing the allmighty channel ability is able to do this?

I currently have the spell set up as follows:

Help? Thanks in advance :)

I'm also having trouble getting Channel to just shoot a projectile at a target. I'll keep working on it but would be great to find an answer.
edit: I've just found another thread (http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=106341&highlight=Channel+missile) which said Channel can not use projectile art :(. So now i gotta find some other spell that can use projectile art AND can be cast through spell immunity :p. Sorry for the unnecessary bump.

Well you can't make Channel shoot a projectile. What you can do is to make your own custom projectile with dummy units and make it move periodically.

Using Acid Bomb is easier. ^^
Or if you want to target ground, like cluster rockets (but want to have different missile speed), use channel, and when channel is cast, make a dummy to cast a custom summon factory.

channel mostly used for trigger enhanced spells where dummies with changed model file represents the missile

or if you are not as experienced, u may just create a dummy and order it to attack the target point of ability beening cast.

Yup, ty for the advice. Although before any replies were made I went and based it off ensnare. I'm very capable of use dummy unit missiles but I as this is not a deeply important part of my map - I was looking for something simple. The ensnare ability does have to be set to 0.01 duration to not perma-trap the target (which causes a unit to stop moving mid-path) but it seems good enough for the small part it will play.
Didn't know acid bomb could target through Spell Immunity also, that is nice to know - ty.
(acid bomb would had probably been a better choice then, but meh :p )

No, with a duration of 0, it makes the effect perma (same as storm hammer - the spell i was using before i needed it to affect spell immune units)

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
