Storm Bolt and a regen problem

[Xonora]

Hi guys, I need help making a storm bolt akin to the one in Dota. I believe it involves a dummy storm bolt that flies to a point and casting a warstomp or something. Hence, you get an AoE storm bolt. I did the triggers but have a lil problem. My channel is not showing. (I checked visible and targeting image) Or do you guys have any better ways to do this skill?

I also need a regen trigger like MW2 or Gears of war where a unit regens to full hp after not being atk for 10 secs or smth. Can help? Thks in adv

Why so many question marks?

you'll need a Damage Detection system

In Channel's "Options" data field, check "Visible" to make the icon appear.

For your second question, simply start a 10-seconds timer whenever the unit is attacked. Then when the timer expires, add it to a unit group and use a periodic trigger to regenerate the health. A hashtable would be required to make it MUI in GUI.

For your AoE stormbolt, you could also try basing your spell off of Cluster Rockets. It can be configured to give you a one shot targetable AoE stun with a projectile. Although, you don't get the benefit of missile homing like you would from the trigger you are suggesting.

If you want to make a storm bolt like Sven in DotA, you should base your spell on Channel with these options:

Data - Art Duration: 0.00
Data - Base Order ID: depends on you
Data - Disable Other Abilites: False
Data - Follow Through Time: 0.00
Data - Options: Visible and Targeting Image
Data - Target Type: Unit Target (or Point Target if you don't want it must need an enemy unit in the center of AoE to cast)

I always base my custom spell on Channel because it doesn't have any effects.
Here is some information about Channel:

Ability Channel (ANcl)

* Data - Art Duration: Repeating time the effects in "Art -"
* Data - Base Order ID: Spell's Order ID, if you use more than one ability "Channel" for one unit or hero, it must be different. If your unit have 2 abilities "Channel", both's Order ID are "chainlightning", it will like you have two abilities "Chain Lightning".
* Data - Disable Other Abilities: If true, it will pause when your hero/unit cast this spell.
* Data - Follow Through Time: Channeling time
* Data - Option
o Visible: Show ability "Channel".
o Target Image: make this spell become a AoE spell like blizzard, rain of fire...
o Physical Spell: if you use this option, this spell can't cast on Ethereal units (Banished units).
o Universal Spell: this spell will like an "ultimate" spell. Of course, it can cast on Immune units. And if Target Allowed contains Invulnerable and Vulnerable, it can cast on Invulnerable units, too.
o Unique Cast: I don't know effect of this option .
* Data - Target Type
o Instant Cast: Cast instantly like Thunderclap, Warstomp, Berserk...
o Unit Target: Cast on an unit like Storm Bolt, Fire Bolt, Purge,...
o Point Target: cast on point like Shockwave, Carrion Swarm,...
o Unit or Point Target: can cast both (Unit Target and Point Target)
