2 questions regarding spells

[envenger]

1. Which spell do I use for for simple single target damage and no other side-effects.

I am using strom bolt with effects set to 0.01 and a buff called nothing having no spell effects. But In one rare condition, the stun spell effect showed above the units head.

2. How to make a dummy unit temporarily invisible after its work is over and bring it back again when needed.

1) I use Channel as the base ability and trigger the effects. Set options to visible, make it not disable other abilities.

2) Unit - Hide unit. You can also move it to the edge of a map or some unaccessible location.

for 1, maybe use Finger of Pain

Can channel have projectile effects?

Can channel have projectile effects?

No, you need to trigger it, use cast a dummy ability.

 

[envenger]

No, you need to trigger it, use cast a dummy ability.

I just want the projectile effect.

 

[Faith]

you could use a ton of spells for something like that.
i personally like firebolt :3 and you can just disable the stun if you don't want it.

I remember the problem with stuns being that if you set duration to 0, then it's endless.
If 0.01, then it still exists.

 

[Faith]

^true.
you could use shadow strike as a base, and then disable the added poison over time effect tho, and that should work.

 

[Daffa]

Why no Finger of Death for no 1

 

[Faith]

i thought finger of death used lightning effects? >_>

 

[Daffa]

You can make it has no lightnings

 

[Faith]

but then you would still need to use a dummy unit to make the projectile. ;p

FoD also uses a projectile (and so is chain lightning)... but the thing with it is that it makes unit's explode if killed by it...

Yup.. What about acid bomb with 0.1 second duration?

 

[Adiktuz]

the acid bomb will still show for the 0.1 or whatever duration you set... never tried it to zero though

 

[Faith]

or.. see.. you could use shadow strike. >_>
which does the same thing as firebolt without the stun, so long as you set the extra damage over time to zero.

 

[envenger]

Gonna use shadowstrike then.,.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Chain Lightning may be. Set the total target to 1, remove lightning effect. It still have projectile with it.

 

[Mouzyy]

Go for Shadow Strike or Chain Lightning then, too bad Finger of Death makes dying unit explode

Id avoid having spell with 0,1second stun, it seems like nothing but its still capable of disrupting channeled spells and maybe causing small problems, and setting stun duration to 0 sometimes gives infinitely long stun (tried that with Inferno... )

2) Unit - Hide unit. You can also move it to the edge of a map or some unaccessible location.

I found something interesting with "Hide Unit and Show Unit" It makes units having locus selectable. Not a good thing for my map though. But I can be used to remove the bug which is caused when we remove locust from a unit.

 

[Adiktuz]

^ that was quite known for a while now... I've seen it already in threads where people ask on how to remove locust etc... hahahaha

I thought I discovered it

This happens sometimes but sometimes it doesn't. I think if you remove the effects and buffs it wont stun it anymore. I use storm bolt most of the time for target spells.
