[General] Multiple Projectile in one attack!

[JamesFH]

Hello there.

Im Trying to find answers on the net. but haven't found much to help with this.

Im trying to make a Unit (A tower) that Fires 4 Missile Projectile in single fire. How can i make that? i know its possible. i see it on other maps. (like Lasers and Rockets map by Mini-me. The Rocket Turret Fires 4 Missiles in one Target.)

Hope someone could help me on this.
Thanks guys.

Multiple Shot Tutorial

Lasers and Rockets does it like this:
Give the tower a very high attack speed, as fast as how you want them to shoot in succession.
every time a tower attacks, increase an internal counter (you could use mana) by 1.
if this counter reaches 3, pause the unit for a second (or however long you want attack cooldown to be) and reset the counter.

Thanks for the response bro. but how can i make to decrease 1 mana every time the tower attacks? should i use ability? trigger? sorry bro im new in editing maps..

Make a trigger. Use the event "unit is attacked", and check if the attacking unit's unit type is the correct tower.

Just want to inform you that rulerofiron99's trigger is just an example trigger, its non-MUI. For a proper and complete trigger you will need to depend on your map and yourself.

 

[rulerofiron99]

It is MUI.

(Attacking unit) is local and can be used after a wait.

Oh really? I never heard about it (i only know dying unit is MUI), well a new information for me

 

[Wietlol]

Why use Pause unit though?
Cant you use "Issue (Attacking unit) to "stop""?

 

[rulerofiron99]

There's a list somewhere with everything that's MUI, maybe in the tutorials section.

I only read this recently as well.

Then you'd need some timer or similar to keep track of the attack cooldown; using pause and wait is much simpler.

It works guys.. what i want to happen. Thanks rulerofiron99.

No, the turret will try to attack again... finds out that it has not enough mana, tries to attack again... finds out that it has not enough mana... etc. until he has mana again.
