[Spell] Breath of fire spell closer look

[Devalut]

Been trying to re-create breath of fire in triggers, but the data field "Final area" & "Area of affect" confuse me.

Anyone run into what exactly they result in?

Most notably is the distance if you see the comparison GIFs below, the vanilla breathe of fire goes beyond 600 (as set in it's data fields.) so does this mean the final area "adds" onto the total distance?

I suppose the final area is the larger area at the end. And I guess the distance is rather hardcoded.

Honestly, you seem to have done a good job so far, all you really need is mimic the original spell a bit more, and make your initial damage area and final area to match, and approximate the distance of the original spell.

What sfx model did you use for your version ?

EDIT :

Sorry my mistake the distance is indeed specified in the ability fields.

Such is life, at least the guy I was making it for is happy, end result is a spell from dota if you are interested.

>What sfx model did you use for your version ?
I just added some random Parasite missiles at the edge of the collision radius per tick:
Ex. Loop 1 - 10
- point
- Sfx parasite
- Sfx destroy
- destroy point

Well tested it and it seems to be working nicely !

I admit I liked how the parasite missile rendered on the edges, thus why I asked

Well aren't you are nutty fellow.
