I have found Vexorian had made 1, but is rocket 1. You can go Resources section in www.wc3c.net to find it out.

That is what i want but i want to see the arrow coming and that the arrows shot depends on how many units there are in the group.



Well you could give them attack ground or something and have a trigger like this:
Trigger:


This part is Polar Projection: (Position of (Picked Unit) offset by (Random real number between 150.00 and 500.00) towards (Facing of (Picked Unit))

But now this leaks a group and a point. If you know how to fix it, then good, but I'll post a leak free trigger anyways:
Trigger:

Trigger:
  • ArrowTrigger
    • o Events
      • + Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
    • o Conditions
      • + (Ability Being Cast) Equal to Rain Of Arrows
    • o Actions
      • + Custom Script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
      • + Unit Group - Pick all units of type Archer within 500.00 of (Casting unit) and do (Actions)
        • # Loop - Actions
          • * Set TempPoint = Position of (Picked Unit
          • * Set TempPoint2 = TempPoint offset by (Random real number between 150.00 and 500.00) towards (Facing of (Picked Unit))
          • * Unit - Order (Picked Unit) to Attack Ground (Position of (Picked Unit) offset by (Random real number between 150.00 and 500.00) towards (Facing of (Picked Unit))
          • * Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
          • * Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2)




You need to have a point variable called TempPoint and another called TempPoint2 (make sure the same letters capitalized, jass is case-sensitive)

It doesn't work the arrows never get's shot (the units never attack the ground or the caster) here is my trigger and it's almost as same as yours, i couldn't find how to do the first condition so i did as nearly as possible, and the spell i based of Flame Strike donnu if that is the problem

Trigger:
  • Rain of Arrows
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Arrow Storm
    • Actions
      • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 2000.00 of (Position of (Casting unit)) matching ((Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Mortar Team)) and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Picked unit))
          • Set TempPoint2 = (TempPoint offset by (Random real number between 150.00 and 500.00) towards (Facing of (Picked unit)) degrees)
          • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack Ground ((Position of (Picked unit)) offset by (Random real number between 150.00 and 500.00) towards (Facing of (Picked unit)) degrees)
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2)

Just some simple ideas.

Use Fan of Knives with arrow model, high arc and slow movement rate.

[del]Or, if you don't mind general AOE, or stun, then you can use Cluster Rockets, with similar properties as mentioned above.[/del]

Not dealing physical damage though. But looks nice :).

Okey thank you hope it will be nice :)


Can anybody help me with the trigger or at least say what the polar projection is for the spell (yes i know what it is but don't know how to do it)?

Is there a way to reduce the lag when the dummy units removes from the game (it lags cause their are so many)?

Unit - give unit a random number between 1 and 10 generic timed life.
This should reduce the lag when dummies are being removed.
They should diappear between 1 and 10 seconds, instead of all at once

You do know that's exactly what I suggested except it uses a dummy spell? What you could do is give the actual archers the ability instead of spawning dummies. To prevent them from abusing anything, I believe you can hide it in a disabled spellbook.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
