arrow path skill

[x-Metal-x]

i dont really know where to begin but... im looking to make a skill that is like Murcurials shadow dagger in DOTA or rexxars wild axes, but only one, and they dont have to return to the caster, just do damage. thats really the only effect i need

could u maybe explain what those spells do? its not like every1 plays dota (i dont)

 

[x-Metal-x]

you target an area with the ability, it creates an arrow (or axe in the other case) that flies to the target, and damages everything in its path, but does not damage the units in the path more than once, and the projectile is kinda slow so... they are both based off triggers because of the effects that they do, which i dont need mine to do

cant u just use shockwave?

 

[x-Metal-x]

i could but the arrow wouldnt arch/it wouldnt look as good cuz the ground would wave, and im considering adding an effect like slowed movespeed or somethin, the hero i have doesnt have any disables/slows lol

use breath of frost-missile homing enabled-missile speed(whatever) and there you go . pm me if you need a test map with this.

 

[Ramza]

use breath of frost and a region that picks every unit with buff 'breath of frost' and add the effect

 

[x-Metal-x]

that works pretty good but... it goes to the max range, how would i make it so it stops at the point where you cast it

 

[Ramza]

not possible with a wave. u will have to make a custom spell with a dummy with the model of the wave and order it to move to the target point of ability being cast (and pick every unit around it for the damage and effect)

one of the easiest types of triggering. In gui, it'd take 2 triggers, 1 to setup points and the missile (which is a dummy unit, and another to set movement and damage.) or you could also use a model editor and just change the reg height of an arrow missile model and use that.

There is something I don't know...
Can we hide some trigger in the script files(*.j)
Because when I first time successful extract the DotA map script, I was exciting but there is only a few of spell trigger in the script....
I have same dream as you but it did't come true yet...

 

[Ramza]

u have to import an empty word file and set the path to something that overwrites triggers
