Chain Lightning Explosive

[karia]

I'm trying to create a finger of death with multiple targets.
the visual magic was right but even having set up the damage engine 3.8 and edited the order string the explosion does not happen.

How To Post Your Trigger
Chaning the fields "Text - Order string.. " has no effect, it is still the default chaning lightning order.
Also kinda think that won't work with chain lightning: cause 4/6/8 targets that takes hit 1/1.5/2 secons to finish.
On that time the unit is proably not performing the chain lightning order anymore.

Shouldn't he also be using

Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object


event ?

Create a separate dummy to cast it with Original Caster tied to it with TEMPCASTER[Custom Value of Casting unit] And then check that the Unit type is that specific Dummy unit and then modify the damage to be dealt by the caster instead along with explosive type.

Ok I'm new to editing maps and I'm doing a mele map with 29 heroes so I'll keep it simple and just change the finger of death and do some tweaks

thanks for the help

No I help comrade

Edit - Added the Finger of Doom to your map with triggers

Its value is 500/750/1000/1250
and 4/6/8/10 for bounce
Note - Chain lightning cannot target buildings so it loses this ability.

Let me know once you've downloaded it and I will remove the map

No I help comrade

wow ... it works but my map goes to level 15 as I do to add 1 new level to magic, magic I would like it to be progressive then level 1 of less damage less people, level 2 more damage more people etc if this complicates too much fixed damage and set the number of targets already enough

I do not know how to thank you

edit
this is the current version of my map not yet released on the page I'm working on Warlock undead

The dummy spell is based on chain lightning, and the casting trigger already sets the level of the dummy chain lightning to the caster's finger of death.
You need only modify the dummy spell to level 15 and how many targets, as for damage go to INIT trigger and modify FOD_Damage variable, it's currently on 500.00.
I personally like to set it to 250 x level of ability

I need to run though, so I'll happily help later today

A thank you is fine, this is enjoyable

EDIT: Make that tomorrow evening ; ;

I tried to edit but whenever I put the skill on level 4 it disappears from the hero

See the Riverrun download on my second post, I've gone and added it all to your map

I had not seen it, it was perfect I'll just adjust to what I want.

How did you like the map so far?

 

[Devalut]

The extra hero's look interesting, I'll keep an eye out for the full release, let me know if you need anything
