// How do I put it in my map?
//---------------------------
// 1. Copy:
//  a. The &quot;Barrage&quot; ability.
//  b. The &quot;Barrage(Buff)&quot; ability.
//  c. The &quot;Barrage(Passive)&quot; ability.
//  d. The &quot;Passive Book (Disabled)&quot; ability.
//  e. The &quot;Barrage&quot; buff.
//  f. Export the &quot;dummy.mdx&quot; file and import it back into your map. (Export the icons if you wish too, be sure to set the right path though).
//  g. Copy the &quot;Dummy Unit&quot; into your map.
//  h. Copy this trigger.
// 2. Press CTRL + D while in the Object Editor to find out the rawcode of:
//  a. The &quot;Barrage&quot; ability. Change the SPELL_ID to the rawcode that you find(it&#039;s &#039;A000&#039; in this map).
//  b. The &quot;Barrage(Passive)&quot; ability. Change the BARRAGE_ID to the rawcode that you find(it&#039;s &#039;A002&#039; in this map).
//  c. The &quot;Barrage(Buff)&quot; ability. Change the BUFFSPELL_ID to the rawcode that you find(it&#039;s &#039;A001&#039; in this map).
//  d. The &quot;Passive Book (Disabled)&quot; ability. Change the SPELLBOOK_ID to the rawcode that you find(it&#039;s &#039;A003&#039; in this map).
//  e. The &quot;Barrage&quot; buff. Change the BUFF_ID to the rawcode that you find(it&#039;s &#039;B000&#039; in this map).
//  f. The &quot;Dummy Unit&quot; unit. Change the DUMMY_ID to the rawcode that you find(it&#039;s &#039;n000&#039; in this map).
// 3. Be sure that the &quot;Passive Book (Disabled)&quot; has the &quot;Barrage (Passive)&quot; ability.
// 4. Give the Barrage ability to your hero.
// 5. You have succesfully imported the spell <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />

P.S.: I know it's simple, but many people ask for it.

Lags a bit on the first cast, preload if needed.

This stuff even works?

Immolation · Jun 11, 2009

1) I would never, ever submit a non-working spell -.-

2) The order string of Rejuvenation is "rejuvination".

GetTriggerUnit- · Jun 11, 2009

Quite simple spell.

It's quite simple to read too

.

Why the use of a custom icon though?
I know it's easily changeable but it should be as easy as possible for the user.

I'm pretty sure his is already MUI. But I like what you did with the group.

However, what happens to any of these if units have an attack speed of 0.05?

Immolation · Jun 12, 2009

@Wolfie: WC3 doesn't have a good enough multishot icon(actually, it doesn't have any of that kind of icon)

@Tom: I'm now adding the spellbook like you, so spell is now MUI.

@Jesus4Lyf: Spell was MPI before

BTW, what do you mean for attack speed?

Update: v1.1
-Spell is now MUI(Thanks to Tom Kazansky for concept!)
-Fixed a bug regarding Barrage shooting too many arrows.
