Shooting

[Starlite]

Okay, I have this friend that is really into war games, and he wants to know how you can just click a button and have a missile go straight in front of the person of the clicked unit.

 

[AddE]

In WC3 or what?

EDIT: Coz if it is, just make a ability based off Shockwave but change the Missile Model.

 

[Starlite]

yes a warcraft 3 game of the revolutionary war....

but he doesnt want to have to click at the target he wants to shoot at...

 

[l)emonStorm]

Use fan of knives and change the number of targets to 1 and the missle art to whatever u want

 

[Starlite]

will that really fire straight in front of you every time?

 

[AddE]

Test it.

 

[Starlite]

i cant..... dont have wc3...

 

[AddE]

Do'h!

I'll test it for ya, hang on a sec.

EDIT: Didnt work for me . Maybe I did something wrong?

EDIT 2 : The problem is that it still shoots 2 missiles.

 

[Starlite]

well the knives, they come out randomly so they should either be invisible, not there, or coem out at odd direction.

lol

im the friend! i want it so that when i have a unit use a specific ability, it shoots a projectile in the direction the unit is facing, shockwave wouldnt work because you have to chose a target and it also has an AoE

 

[AddE]

Who cares about the AoE? That is easily changed.

 

[Faction]

e

still have to choose a target, i want it to automatically shoot when you press the hotkey of the ability

 

[AddE]

Yeah. Can't you come up with any ability shooting something instantly?

I'll just help modifying it.

EDIT: Ah, wtf just figured out that you can maybe do it in triggers. Lol a little after.

 

[Faction]

say what?

 

[Starlite]

uhm... you can try all you want.... it wont work, theres no way to get a direction (maybe in jass) and no command telling it to shoot forward.

 

[Faction]

lol i think i could do it, if i had tft installed

 

[Starlite]

you could try, no direction condition, and no way to make it cast forward unless there is a direction condition.....

unless they added some action i dont know about.

 

[Faction]

im stuck on roc lol. i thought you had wc3!?

 

[AddE]

Hmm try something like this:

Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Fan of Knives
Actions
Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Center of (WhereYouWant)) facing (Position of (WhoYouWant))
Set DUMMY = (Last created unit)
Unit - Order (Casting unit) to Stop
Unit - Order DUMMY to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning SomeUnit



So you get a picture? Do something like that.


EDIT: And afterwards you remove the Dummy of course.
