Double attacks

[decored]

Can a unit be triggered to attack twice or more like anubseran (Dota). Is it possible to throw 2 or more projectile in 1 attack animation

I think there was an ability like that. But if not, I think you can simply add a chance trigger and either:


-order the unit to attack (again) but this might not be possible due to attack speed of the target

-create a dummy that is just like the unit and it to do an attack (though with certain items, like Radiance in Dota, the dummy unit would cause extra damage and that would show something is fishy until dummy unit dies)

-increase the attack speed in the moment of chance so the unit can attack on click and attack through trigger both in fast intervals (most likely a good solution)


I can try something when I'm done with my triggering thingies.

In DotA it's not triggered: it's a modified copy of Orb of Lightning with 100% chance and modified Searing Arrows as the linked ability.

Why searing arrows?Then the secondary attacks will deal damage=searing arrows. Correct??? If so any way to link this to my heroes damage.Does setting searing arrows to 0 deals only the heroes damage

searing arrows add damage to your units attack power, a damage bonus of 0 for searing arrows would result in 100% normal damage of your unit. however you always have to keep in mind that the orb of lightning ability is bugged, it only fires if the order of the attacking unit is "attack" or "smart". (i know this sounds pretty funny to you but seriously this causes alot of problems!)

Whats "smart"

 

[Accname]

"smart" is all orders given by simply right-clicking something.
if you use rightclick you issue the order "smart".

well, if the unit is just standing somewhere doing nothing and an enemy approaches your unit will attack him (if the enemy is within aquisation range) though his order wont change to "attack". in this case the orb of lightning wouldnt work.

Do you want this to be a passive ability? that has a cooldown...or every attack?

 

[decored]

I like the way accname does I think it is the perfect way:thup:

Just make sure those who use the ability/spell/whatever know that the second attack is only triggered on right-click or attack command.

well, you could make a trigger like this:
BEWARE! Handwritten

• SomeTrigger
  • Events
    • Unit - a unit is attacked
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any Condition is true (Conditions)
      • (Current Order of (Attacking Unit)) Not Equal "Attack"
      • (Current Order of (Attacking Unit)) Not Equal "Smart"
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Attacking Unit) to attack (Attacked Unit)

this would do the trick, however, if a unit is ordered to "attack" a target it will follow its target until the target is killed or an other order is issued.
Another possibility would be to order the attacking unit to "attack/move" to the position it is currently standing at. (that order would be "smart")
