What is 3d attack.

 

[Slaydon]

a spell that casts on press, and it will take damage from the units infront

im afraid you will have to further explain that

 

[Slaydon]

okay, my unit is the "O", the | is the facing, and the X is the one he will attack when casting a custom spell, all the other enemies are L


LLXXXLL
LLL| LLL
LL O LL
LLLLLLL

 

[VergilThazaar]

You mean a "Wave" Spell or what?

 

[Slaydon]

No, an "Attack" spell, that will damage the enemies in front of him

 

[VergilThazaar]

Something like an active Cleaving strike spell?

 

[Slaydon]

yes, thats the thing im after, how do i pick only the units infront of my unit

 

[Element of Water]

Just pick all units in radius then do a loop, through them, then if (((angle between points (position of picked unit) and (position of caster)) > (facing of caster - x/2)) or (angle between points (position of picked unit) and (position of caster)) < (facing of caster + x/2))) then its a target.

There is a way, but you have provided a very vague description, so this might not be what you were looking for.

The simplest method would be to modify Frost Nova to have 100 casting range, no target effect, 0.01 duration slow, change the animation to attack, and adjust the damage as necessary. The damage will not scale with your unit's attack though.

Found here. This is a trigger question anyways.
