Hey everyone!
I am currently working on a war ship map where you will be able to battle other ships (NPC or players) to climb up the leaderboard ladder. I'll try to add a wave system with different kinds of ships you need to sink.
To my question:
I am trying to create a spell that will fire missiles at enemy ships (units) upon tapping a hotkey. As the title suggests, it is supposed to be a "broadside" spell where multiple cannonballs shall be launched at the same time. To add complexity, I don't want to target enemies directly, but fire either to the starboard or port side depending on the spell I use, hitting enemies in the path, just with a button click.
I have tried building the spell based on cluster rockets, thunder clap and fan of knives, but either of those require a specific target area or do damage in a radius around my ship.
Is there a way to create AoE spells that don't require targets and cast missiles in a specific conic area? If left or right won't work no matter what, it would still be cool to have that spray of cannonballs in the direction my ship is facing.
I hope this is comprehensible enough to know what I'm after.
Thanks in advance!
Jon
