Ability, Target water instead of ground?

[ikillforeyou]

i need help, i'm making a map and i have a ship <the flying dutchman> that summons a Kraken which spawns tenticles, these are all based off the forgoten one, cept the flying dutchman. What i need is it to target water instead of land. Thanks.

On a completely other note, for the same map <its a bships i've been working on for a while> i'm using the phoenix fire ability for making items that shoot missiles at enemies, if i set the duration normal to 0 it will only shoot the unit once, and if i set it to 0.01 it will interfear with the other cannons, could you help me?

I'll give +rep for either or both of these done, thanks.

How about you make a condition like this for checking water.

• (Terrain pathing at (Your Target Point) of type Floatability is off) Equal to False

Then order the unit to stop when it is casted on land.

try making the units flying. I don't think normal units can be created on water

Can't you make him a ship but then with a melee attack, then set the targets to something like Amphibious or anything. Or you make the ships mechanical, and set it so he can only attack mechnicals thus ships.

hmm, it wouldn't work if i made the units flying and i'll try to do somthing else, is there any abilities, i dont care what they do that target only water?

 

[nerovesper]

there in no ability that targets only water. just do it on triggers.

nero, i meant like Unit - a unit finishes casting an ability
Ability being cast equal to TARGET WATER ABILITY
Unit - Create 10 Tenticles at target point of ability being cast

Try it like this

• WaterCheck
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Your Spell
  • Actions
    • Set Leak_Point = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • -------- This checks if the target point is water --------
        • (Terrain pathing at Leak_Point of type Floatability is off) Equal to False
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 10 Tenticles at Leak_Point....
      • Else - Actions

what ability should i use? i dont want to use animate dead...

 

[nerovesper]

I think you should base it on breath of fire. This spell doesn't allow to target outside the playable area.

k, rep added! this'll work, i already tested it, and it works. Alot more complicated then i would of liked though

Amphibios are water units. You can set the target type to Amphibous only. Atleast thats what I think last time I checked WE.
