Frost Nova

[rax_7]

i need some help, i know Frost nova is an AOE spell. instead of slowing down all nearby units, i wanna freeze them. i tried to use warstormp and change the buff to freezen breath, but that doesnt really work well. i wanna make a frost nova that can freeeze nearby units. any idea?

 

[rodead]

you need to make a custom buff take the one from war stop and use the freezing breath efect it just looks frozen but is stuned.

 

[rax_7]

but the problem is that warstormp is doesnt require target. also, those units that are not close to the target but close to my hero will be froze as well. that doesnt look right

 

[rodead]

then you could take an ability that target something and make a dummy unit and cast your spell at the target so that it freeze around the target is that what yu want if not i don't get you and need some more explaination.

 

[TieBreak]

Just create a frost nova for your hero and an entangling roots as a dummy ability, then pick all units around the target, and order a dummy unit to use entangling roots on the picked units. You'll have to change the entangling roots effect to freezing breath effect and change damage to 0. The duration you'll have to decide yourself.

u can use frost nova, and just change the movement reduction and attack rate reduction to 100%....but it will affect all frost nova based spells if u do this

just go to gameplay constants, and just find some stuffs for frost nova

Breath of Frost damages units in a cone. You might want to detect the damaged units by the Breath of Frost buff and then entangle them.

How's this :
Create a trigger that runs Periodically (not sure if that's the correct word)
Pick every unit that has Frost Nova buff and create a dummy unit and order it to Entangle Roots at Picked Unit. After that, put Picked Unit into a Unit Group so it won't be Entangled twice.

That's not a bad idea i might actually try that =] Thanks.

Or use cluster rockets but change stun effect into freeze, missile speed to 0, and cluster rocket art to the art of frost nova.

 

[FroznYoghurt]

Just do as rodead said an ceate a warstomp with custom buff, then you have a dummy ability based of channel and then;

E - unit cast
C - frost nova
A - Create 1 dummyunit for owner of triggering unit
Add War Stomp
Set lvl of war stomp to level of frost nova
ad a 3 sec exp timer
order to war stomp

I'd use Cluster rockets as a last resort, It tends to get a little buggy when messed with
