ability damage 1st unit

[Arusar]

do u know what ability(base) that only damage the 1st unit

ex:i want like carrion swarm or shockwave(point target)
that just damage the 1st unit in line
and behind the 1st unit take no damage at all.

hmm.. like stampede(the projectile just damage 1 unit)

Maybe setting the max damage of the Carrion Swarm to the same value as damage itself would do the trick.

 

[Slaydon]

Just use the Stampede Spell tho, and edit it

 

[Day-Elven]

Make dummy.

Event:
Dummy comes withing range to *

Actions:
Damage *
Remove Dummy

the projectile dissapear..?

ex: carrion swarm i set the range to 1000
and deal damage to unit at 300 range, does the projectile dissapear ..?

ust use the Stampede Spell tho, and edit it.

i think stampede using radius.. not range....

It doesn't. It explodes and damages multiple units.


Mr Dagguh, I don't think that would work. I think the damage cap splits up the damage between the units rather than stopping doing damage after reaching the cap. What I am saying, is that if there are 5 units, and the shockwave's damage and damage cap both are 50, all units will take 10 damage each rather than one unit taking 50 damage. I'm not sure though.

Probably, the best way is to create a triggered shockwave spell and check every second if an enemy unit is close to it, then remove the dummy unit and create the effect.

You shouldn't be sure. Shockwave and similar spells deal damage as soon as they collide with victim units. Just set the projectile speed to a low value, give it horrendous damage and see that units closer to the caster will die first. So how could the game predict how many units will the spell hit in the future and basing on this, distribute the damage equally? Yes, it can't.

That is all based on what I remember. I don't have WC3 here, so I can't test it out. Try it yourself.

PS. That means I am not sure too .

You're right, it deals damage until the cap is set. But the issue with the effect is still left.

Just what you need, except for the chance thing. Hope you understand.
P.S. Not mine!!

 

[Dagguh]

Yea, IF the projectile is a problem then remove the model. Now you can simulate your own missile via triggers or dunno, 0 damage and 1 missile Stampede... Your call.

The less coding, the better

Hmm... This was something to think about..
