Elune's Arrow

[CuteCumber]

How to make a ability that shoots a missile that travels in a straight line of the targeted angle?(Like Priestess of the Moon's Elune's Arrow)

Use the "Search" function on the site.
There's a tutorial on this spell.
Here you go.

They're made by sliding a unit to it's facing, you can do this much better in Jass. I don't know jass.
It's still quite manageable in GUI by moving a unit to (Point with Polar Offset): Position of (Picked Unit) offset by 10 towards (facing of Picked Unit) degrees.

Run that in a periodic trigger, and periodically check to see if there are any enemies around it.

Wow, I put up same link. So I'll edit it out.

I know how to do this via jass, but I think you want GUI instead...

what's the difference between offsets and polar offsets?

 

[C0mput3r]

Kinda off topic but w/e
offset: a position relative to your current position

so an offset of 10m right of me is a point 10m to the right of which ever way im facing.


the difference arises when the example: an offset of 10m east

If i was facing North, both would be equal, if I was facing South, they'd be on opposite side of me.

In shorter terms, Polar Offset just does it by Offset off an Angle.

Regular Offset is offset by co-ordinates (x,y)


And as for suggestions, you could always base a spell off of Carrion Swarm or Shockwave, and make the missile model an Arrow.

Only difference would be that It goes through trees, walls, and units.

So it pierces when the Elune's Arrow Hits.

If I dont want the stun, what am I suppose to remove?

Set the Stun Time to 0.01 (0.00 is equal to forever).
To simplify what C0mput3r said, Offset is offset by co-ordinates (which can crash your warcraft if not used correctly), Polar Offset, is range at a specific angle. (Point offset by Range towards Angle)
I personally use Polar Offset, much easier to use, and makes less lag.

perhaps, but will a .01 second stun still stop someone who is casting a spell?
