area's of effect

[chasin225]

Is it possible to give an ability like "Mana Burn" or "Feedback(spellbreaker)" an area of effect?

You'd have to do that with triggers.

I'll create the base idea for you, and I hope you can fill in the details (like leak removal etc).

1. Create a dummy unit with the mana burn-ability.
2. (Optional) Create a dummy ability based on an AoE-spell.
3. When the spell is cast, pick all units within range (of the targetted point) and create the dummy, order that dummy to cast mana burn to the picked unit.

That's a rather brief explanation, I hope you got the idea.

There might be other ways of doing this, but can't think of anything else right now.


Unfortunately, I do believe that Feedback requires a damage detection system.

can i dummy cast Mana burn to all picked units at the same time? or do i need to make dummy for every unit in range?

You need to create a dummy for every unit in range ^^
And remove them afterward of course.

Damage Detection System is used.
