arrows that stick into the ground and targets

[Howling Wolve]

Hey,

I'm pretty new to this site, and this is the first question I wanted to ask to you guys. I wanted to make archers that fire arrows that would stick in the ground and on the targets. The arrow must stick into the ground for about 1minute.

I really don't know how to do it.
I really hope that you guys want to help me out

 

[Razorbrain]

im quite sure that the arrows sticking in the target is impossible, but i could be wrong

 

[Howling Wolve]

I'm pretty sure it is possible. 2 years ago i was also playing and modding w3 and then i made a map where the arrows would stick in the targets and in the ground. But i forgot how i did it....

I really hope someone can help me

 

[Karmine]

Howling_Wolve I'll start trying to find out how... then you'll edit this post and tell you how just hang in there!

I think its not possible to make the arrow stay in the attacked unit.

But, with this model, you can make the arrow stay on the ground.

I've made one, about 2 months ago. Use Trigger:
[Event - Unit - Specific unit event: Unit attacks
Condition - "*Unit" is attacked equal to true
Action - wait for "0.30"
- Create a special effect "Unit missiles\...\arrow" attached to "*unit" 's chest
- wait for "30.00" seconds
- Destroy the "last created special effect"]

*[Event - Unit - Generic unit event - A unit is attacked
Condition - Attacking unit equal to "Archer"
Action - Set variable - Unit equal to the "attacked unit"]

I'm not sure it works. I maybe made some mistakes. This is it...

Hey guys thanks for all the replies.

((karmine)) I will wait for your answer. Thanks for trying to find this out for me.

((Ham ham)) Thanks for the reply but im pretty sure i done it a few years ago.. And that model you gave is already in the editor. It's the standart missle of the archer right? But i don't really know how to make it so it would stick on the ground in the right direction when a archer fire the arrow. I'll hope you will reply soon for some further explanation.

((adythewolf))?Thanks for the trigger. But I'm trying to make it for all the archers in the game and the arrows need to stick to all units in the game.
I can't really find out how to make this trigger. Sorry guys it's a long time ago when i used this editor. Then w3campaigns still existed.

((adythewolf)) maybe you can put this trigger in a new map?

 

[Karmine]

Adythewolf did manage to answer before.... mine answer would be the same.

 

[Howling Wolve]

oow alright. Thanks anyway.
but I'm trying to make this trigger but it doesnt really work out. So would somebody please put this trigger in a map and put it in this forum?

And how can i make it so arrows would stick into the ground?

 

[HappyTauren]

I think you have is to take arrow model and remove death animation

 

[Karmine]

the attached must be chest else it wont work.

 

[Ham Ham]

Use my model as the projectile.

But it will always make the arrow stick in the ground. It will be weird if you make another arrow appear on the unit's chest.

Pst pst, want to introduce yourself to the Hive, Howling Wolve? Do so here!

 

[adythewolf]

It's possible. I know it. I've played AoM2 and there was my idea. Here's the map:

[LordOglog]

The problem that i see with this is that as in wc3 arrows home and always hit their target they would never end up in the ground and so you would not need them to stick.

 

[VectorxMan]

yes this is possible, i played a WC3 predator game where the "spear throw" ability was an item with cooldown, and when it was used it stick through the unit and stayed stuck inside for a little while even if they moved. Dont know exactly how long it managed to stay because the spear did massive damage so the unit died quickly ending the spear impale ability haha.
Back on topic- yes this is possible but i have no clue how to do it.

 

[adythewolf]

I don't know about the map. but if you want all units in the game use this... I think you must use arrays and functions.

 

[Need_O2]

dont revive OLD threads

 

[Klipso]

but if your only using the chest, wouldnt they all stack on each other and look like theres only one?

 

[adythewolf]

Klipso, you're right. It would be laggy(lol - laggy noob). But if you use unit type = archer? it would be really nice.

 

[GloryBlade]

I just checked and even if you turn homing off they may fall twenty yards away but the unit still takes damage so it still counts as a hit! >< You may want to consider that, if the trigger doesn't take that into account then every arrow might teleport to the body!

 

[adythewolf]

true... but I can't find any condition bout misses.

 

[GhostWolf]

You must use JASS with timers for this and make a unit move straight, then if it gets close to a cliff/ground/unit you do your actions.

 

[adythewolf]

I wonder how many "wolves" are on the hive. It's me, werewulf(I think), wolverabbid, ghostwolf, and the list is huge.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

hey, you know how buildings catch fire when they are damaged and more fire when they are even more damaged. maybe you could use the same thing on a moving unit(or am i just talking horse shit). just suggesting.
i know jackcrap about triggers and programming. i dont even know what JASS is

 

[adythewolf]

u could add a buff to unit let's say:
Buff 1 - Unit has been hit by an arrow
Buff 2 - Unit has been his by some arrows....
and u could add a check buff and all will be solved.
