Can A spell Be based off an Upgrade?

[The-Icy-Chair]

Is it possible to base a spell off an upgrade?

To be specific I want to create an Aura that provides an Improved bows type of effect.

Unless you know another way for an Aura to give improved range.

Thanks

An an orb-based ability that allows you to attack at a higher range, and also allow ground targetting

Actually... no. Because he might use custom units and I believe that ranged units have different ranges. So just setting a certain range is not a solution. I'm looking up for this as well...

well in DotA, one of the heroes has an ability that increases his attack range. Never really tried looking for an ability that allows this on it's own, but perhaps that might hold the answer... It all depends on if the ability i'm talking about would be seen or not. If not, this could work by simple triggers. If it was seen, then you'd need to find another way. I'll look into it tomorrow and post back.

So the way I see this, i can make a spell that can increase the unit with the spell's range, but not an Aura...Ok, thanks for the help everyone

 

[Drain Pipe]

well if you don't mind otherr units having the buff icon, you can amke an aura that will add the range buffing ability to the units. I just don't know which one...perhaps the only way really is basing it off an upgrade. I don't know though.

 

[The-Icy-Chair]

the thing is that I do want it to be a buff, but the only thing i found that boosted range was an upgrade.

The one in dota uses an upgrade to increase his range. What you are asking for is very tricky, next to impossible; theres no ability that increases a units range.

 

[Drain Pipe]

well, not one that stacks on top of the range already given

My Suggestion would be to create 2 units 1 normal and one with added range and use it like META is used except since its the same guy you won't know the difference. Just 1 with normal range and one with long range. If you wanna do levels of it you need to make 2 or 3 of the same guys with different leveled ranges. Thats my idea on what i would try.

But i'm still new to this whole spell making things so i might be wrong. Just started yesterday lol.. But i'm a programmer so its really not hard at all.

Meta would work if you wantyed to make copies of everything. Remember its an aura.

 

[The-Icy-Chair]

Well thanks for everything.


P.S. how hard would it to be to make an arrow go through multiple targets?

 

[Taur]

lol

actually there is a trigger in WEU that lets you increase range, so just make a trigger that adds range when the hero learns it...

 

[Dr.Nitro]

1:Thats acquisition range, not attack range
2its an AURA, not a passive that increases the hero's range

 

[Daelin]

WE Unlimited is the only one which allows to increase Maximum Hit Points, Range and other stuff. Use it if you must!
