Chain Lightning bounce (Without lightning) +Rep

[BoboJazz]

Hey, there is a spell in DotA where the Witch Doctor hurls a flask and stuns enemies.

I tried to remove the "Lightning Effect" to the spell "Chain Lightning" and add my "Flask" model. The flask didnt show up.. only the target animation when units gets hit.

It does not need to stun, just damage (And the spell itself fixes that).
Help plz^^

What is your "Flask" model?

And what do you mean with "And the spell itself fixes that."?

I don't think that flask is based off of Chain Lightning, for one, the flask can hit the same target multiple times which chain lightning can't.

It's pretty safe to say it's triggered.

Aww...

{EDIT}

What is your "Flask" model?

And what do you mean with "And the spell itself fixes that."?

Flask = Missile Arc
And the spell itself fixes that = Spell Damage

u should try looking for a chain system. that would probably help.

hey aint there in chain lighting spell itself is all the missile target buff effects etc. there is the lighting thingy what cahins units together just take it off?

 

[doom_sheep]

yes but u cant make it have stun or any other effect

 

[manstie]

Do you want it to bounce from target to target?
If not then what you can do is instead of using chain lightning for it use storm hammer and take the stun off it (in buffs) and change the missile art.

But has alot of disadvantages. I can't be bothered editing it, my current JassCraft is currently fail.

Sorry on how it's all huge and that, I don't know how to hide text.

Just trigger the chainlightning by using one of the tutorials at Hive.

 

[Metov]

that dota one is way too complicated. all you need to do is pick random living unit within range of the target (do it in a for loop) and have a dummy cast your spell on it.

use a wait trigger based on the distance between the points and the missile speed.

chain frost works on the same principle but has 2 dummy casters, one for the projectile and one for the nova.

 

[reza sword2]

It isn't that complicated... I would've liked to simplify it, but then again my JassCraft is at fail. It's better your way Metov, but does the OP knows how to do trigger?
