Question on Moon Glaive

[Blademaster_X]

Missile (Bounce) - a missile that bounces from enemy unit to enemy unit. You need the 'moon glaive' ability and upgrade to get this one to work.

I understand u need both the ability and upgrade for it to work. So how would I make it into one hero ability without requiring any upgrades?

I'm not sure about the upgrades, because I got a unit to do this through some fluke accident.

he attacked and it would follow the line of creeps.

I think the moon glave upgrade just adds spill distance. Look at the upgrade and see how much, then set that for your hero.

Then give him the moon glaive ability to set the damage and values.

But what if I want the Hero to gain an extra target per level? Like the huntress in DOTA.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Doesn't the moon glaive ability do that?

I mean, first your going to make a new custom ability.

Then you'll check "Hero Ability".

Then change "Levels" to 3, or whatever.

Then it should give you different options per level.

moon glaives

ok i managed to discover how to do this by myself, its actually quite easy if you follow exactly how the huntress works.

first, make a copy of the glaive attack ability and make it into a hero ability. you will notice that the hero ability does not have any fields that says number of targets. so, go back to the huntress and you realize that it has a maximim of 2 targets. it also uses an upgrade called moon glaives. so, make a copy of the upgrade and make sure your hero uses that upgrade.

now, you have to make the upgrade 3 tiers, you can alter the upgrade data to determine how many extra targets you get each time you upgrade.

after you done all these, you have to be a little more observant. you notice that there is no link between the upgrade and the hero ability. so, write a trigger, such that when the hero learns this specific ability, set the upgrade level of your copied moon glaive upgrade to 1 higher.

if you run your map now, you will realize that it may not work. this is probably because the upgrade is not available to your hero. go the scenario tab and click on upgrade properties. make sure your new upgrade is available to everyone.
