I made a phoenix based spell and I need to add a AoE Effect to it.

Um. ok? What are you really asking here, do you need an idea for one? Are you just informing us (God I hope not), do you need help with creating it? Be more specific in your posts please.

... Do you even know what you are saying?

Phoenix is a summon ability, and you want an AOE (Area of effect) Phoenix?
This mean:

a- You want multiple phoenix to be created in an area (Rain of Chaos)
b- You want a phoenix to be created that will create an AOE effect in the summoning AOE (Inferno)
c- You want something else that I don't understand.

C- he wants to add an AOE ability to the pheonix like endurance aura or trueshot aura.

... lol, this is easy, just had the ability from the unit editor!

Sorry, I mean I made a spell from phoenix fire (that spell that is pretty much the same as a barrage) and I need help adding a AoE effect to the spell instead of hitting just one unit.

I'm pretty sure you can't make this...

 

[BlazeLancer]

Would this work?

Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Lurker
Actions
Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 200.00 at (Target point of ability being cast), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Pierce and damage type Normal

Or does a auto target spell not effect "Target point of ability being cast"?

 

[MetalWarrior]

No it won't work. You know why? Cause it can't work with passive ability. I discovered that with bash and many other ability...

Well, you can still try, maybe it's different for Phoenix Fire...

AOE Phoenix Fire

If I would made a phoenix fire based spell and adding AoE Effect to it, I would made a detection trigger which checks the Buff every 0.1 seconds (or less) and picking the unit(s) with phoenix fire buff -> AOE Damage.

Here is an example, which may work (I haven't tested this).

• Events
• Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Picked unit) has buff Phoenix Fire) Equal to True)) and do (Unit - Cause (Random unit from (Unit withing 2000.00 of (Position of (Picked unit)) matching ((Level of Phoenix Fire for (Matching unit)) Equal to 1 ))) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 250.00 of (Position of (Picked unit)), dealing 150.00 Damage of attack type Spells and damage type Fire)
• Unit - Remove Phoenix Fire buff from (Picked unit)

This leaks like hell, is not accurate, and is not MUI, and may be buggy.

 

[MetalWarrior]

You need 1-2 unit group do be specified... And you have a random pick in your trigger. This would kill you in pain when you will see the leaks...

 

[paskovich]

I would just do the WHOLE Phoenix Fire with triggers. Just create dummys that cast Acid Bombs on random units around the hero. It's far better than checking for units with the buff.

 

[MetalWarrior]

Right, this would work... But what if the picked unit is anally? The spell won't cast. So, when fighting with nearby friend it may attack randomly, But it may try to attack some ally, making a delay cause they can't attack.

... Do you understand?

 

[paskovich]

I understand... I think
But you can pick random enemies around the hero!
