Making a fire trap that uses attack-ground

[dashival]

See, I want to have a fire trap that, when you order it to attack-ground on itself (range is 5), with a cooldown of 2 seconds or so it will kill units in the AoE. This works, but I want the Trap Fire effect to appear every time it launches its attack. I tried setting the missle art to Trap Fire, but it doesn't show up.

That's probably because the projectile doesn't travel. Try setting it so that the fire trap will show on the target, instead of the projectile. Or you could just run it off triggers.

Edit: Actually, triggers would work, if only there were an event that detected when a unit launched an attack-ground attack. Is there some way to detect that?

isnt there soemthing like

event:
unit - a unit is attacked

condition:
attacking unit equal to (Fire Trap)

action:
special effect - create 1 (Fire Trap) at (point of attacked unit)



not exact words but i think theres something like that

I want the Trap Fire effect to appear every time the unit attacks-ground, so people will see that there is a trap there.
