Ok, first off, m3 n00b. I know nothing about JASS and am very unexperienced in basically all aspects of World Editor.
That having been said, I attempted to learn the process regardless. Usually, I do good with things like that... such as in the StarEdit way back when (I learned the whole system in like a week) However, WorldEditor is MUCH more powerful and seems much more promising anyway (generally, WC3 is a totally better game than SC)
Generally speaking, I failed. My last attempt involved creating a custom ability, simply to see if I could do it. And I couldn't, so, I decided to ask for help.
Although I hate to do it, I'm going to give my idea right off the bat, so if help is available, you can at least understand what I am heading for.
Spell Name: Soulhazard
Target: Single, bounces up to two times
Effect/Description:
Combines two or three units into one. Immediately after the targeted units are combined, the caster impales the combined unit with a spiritual spear. The combined units will then split back into their earlier form, spreading the damage out equally. Note: If the combined unit dies, all of the units die.
A bit complex. The only difficult part should be the combining part. I've tried using variables to record the target unit's health, but I can't seem to find a way to record the health (current and max) of the units hit by the bounce.
Also, I can't seem to get the spell to bounce at all. I think I'll just use a circle effect instead.
Oh, and can I get a link to a good place to learn JASS? I think that would clean up the triggers a bunch, and fraction the complexity.
