Adding an AOE to e.g. Holy Light

[Renschi]

Hey Guys

I'd like to know if a spell like Holy Light can be made an AOE spell? If yes, pls tell me how, because when I set an AOE value in the OE, it still only heals 1 unit. If no, pls tell me as well, but don't tell me anything about triggering it

And 2nd question:

If I use a spell that is a normal unit ability as a hero ability, there isn't a Learn Tooltip. There is just a silly green box with the text "Tooltip's missing!" How to solve that?

Thy in advance

~Renschi

1 - only in triggers
2 - "green box" means that there's no icon there, it can also be black. To remove it fill this field: Art - Icon - Research, with the needed icon. "Tooltip's missing" means there's no description on spell when you learn it, to change fill the field: Text - Tooltip - Learn and Text - Tooltip - Learn - Exteneded.

Edit: here's your spell, triggered:

• Holy Light
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Holy Light
  • Actions
    • Set Point = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within ((Real((Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit)))) x (100.00 + 200.00)) of Point) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) is A structure) Equal to False
            • ((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Triggering player) at Point facing Default building facing degrees
            • Unit - Add a 0.50 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
            • Unit - Add Holy Light to (Last created unit)
            • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Paladin - Holy Light (Picked unit)
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)

Dummy is a unit that has no model and has ability Locust, also add mana to him
Point is a variable of type Point

If the icon is green, the path is wrong. You can find the correct path when you
download a icon (see the attachment). Just fix the paths in the Import Manager.

It does NOT need to be triggered, you can simply make it work like the Vodoo doctors healing wave, (By one unit, you mean that it only heals the unit you slected right?) and choose how many "number of targets hit" you want, after that you can just remove the lightning effect, and go to art - target and give it the holy light graphic.

To fix the green square of doom, go to (On the spell btw) Art - Icon - Research (Or normal, whichever one is coming up green) and add whatever icon you want. If it's a custom icon, you can just select it but in the import manager you will have to put ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\ infront of the DISBTN or w/e it is.

Finally to fix the missing tooltip of death you go to Text - Tooltip - Learn and this is what the data is for holy light. Learn Holy Ligh|cffffcc00t|r - [|cffffcc00Level %d|r]

I would suggest use the healing spray...
It make much more sense..
The healing wave aoe is around the hitted target, so the aoe is moved from one target to another one...

Here's my entry (test map is attached)
And this spell supports multiple of levels

Level 1 - 50 heal in 600 AOE around the target
Level 2 - 100 heal in 600 AOE around the target
Level 3 - 150 heal in 600 AOE around the target

Thx to the others, but I didn't want to know anything about triggering it...
