Attack Randomization

[Raj91]

I am making a map and you are able to have many archer units and this where the problem comes in.

I would like the archers to attack multiple units at once instead of having fifty archers shooting the same unit. This is a problem when there are one-hundred enemies rushing and each would die from three arrows but all fifty archers are shooting one at a time.

Could some one please tell me how to fix this. Thank You.

Try using a modified barrage ability and see if that does the trick.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Increase projectile speed so that they do not all have time to attack.

Sorry, doesn't work.

I would like for people to be able to see the arrows flying through. Its not riflemen,lol.

Thanks for trying to help.

Try this:
Multiple Shot Ability

Unless you are trying to find one that doesn't require an ability.

I don't think Raj91 wants each archer to shoot more than one target, but for the archers to attack separate targets.
Sorry, even I have this problem. I really can't help you.

Try not misquoting me and Dr. Super Good, you'll destroy us all man, and if you just want it to work, try modifying Pheonix fire and make its cooldown time to match your archers attack cooldown, I'm not really surprised barrage didn't work, its sometimes buggy in my case.

Sorry about that. Its fixed now.

I used it and it works perfectly but, yes but, I run into another problem using pheonix fire. All the units that are hit catch on fire and there is no buff listed in the buff option in the editor. Do you know how to remove this buff?

Set the duration to 0.01, it shouldn't make a big deal.

Hey how's this? It's supposed to save the value of the attacking unit in the hashtable and vice versa.
