Question about AoE Spells

[Mr_Bean355]

Hi guys,

I am making a map and am just wanting to clear something up. In AoE spells (Silence, for example) when it says the AoE is 400, does that mean the radius is 400 or the diameter is 400?

I think that it means the diameter is 400, but I'm not certain.

Thanks for any help!

It means the radius. Any enemy within 400 of the target will be affected. So a 400 AOE spell has a 800 diameter.

Thanks dude. So when I want to make a trigger to damage all units in the area, it would be something like this (the spell has 400 AoE):
Event
Unit starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
Ability being cast = explosion
Actions
Pick all units within 400 of target point of ability being cast and do actions:
Cause casting unit to damage picked unit..........

Is that correct?

 

[tommerbob]

Yes exactly. :thup:
