[Solved] Adding a non homing projectile effect to attack

[Maker]

When you give a unit some orb item like Orb of Fire, it adds a projectile effect to the unit's attacks. I want to make the projectile not to home to targets. Is there some ability or other method to achive this? Without using a projectile system.

 

[Doomlord]

I seriously wonder if there is anyone capable of knowing something that Maker doesn't know

Anyway back on topic I think that the projectiles for the orbs' attack index are hard-coded as the range, speed, arc and homing capability are the same for each orb type. Therefore you will need a projectile system if you want to trigger a non-homing, customizable version.

This is just my own idea so of course I could be wrong.

Did you check the item's abilities?

How about Orb of Darkness with equipped ability? such as cluster rockets,though the damage won't be customizable >.<

you can set the orb of fire ability to non homing or change the unit's data homing missile enabled to false

Seems that I SOLVED this by using Flak Cannons or Fragmentation Shards. Thanks for the replies.

Yes.

I tried many many abilities, just couldn't find one. Cluster Rockets is an active ability so not sure about how that would work.

It will still be homing.

Orb of Darkness automatically casts the ability.These ability was used in DotA so many times so that they can create active abilities to passive
