Cloud Spell doesn't work

[Geoffroy77]

Hi,
I need a spell like the one of rikimaru in DoTa (smoke screen) and I was thinking it is Cloud but it's a channel spell.
So it is triggered or i make a mistake ?

Summon Water Elemental/Infernal and make a dummy unit (that he can't attack or walk or be attacked) which looks like smoke and has locust and make him the summon. Add some aura to him and change buff etc. for some effects.

OR you could just use a dummy unit that will stand and channel the Cloud spell, that way you can still use all the abilities of the cloud.

You can change what effects the cloud has according to your own wishes, it can slow movement speed, slow attack speed, prevent certain types of attacks, prevent spells or give units a chance to miss on attacks. It's all up to you.

just how can i make it's slow ennemy into the mist/ cloud ? just ennemy and slow and not make them speedier

 

[Day-Elven]

If unit comes withing range to dummy, then do --> set movement speed of triggering unit = movement speed of triggering unit - ***

When dummy removes, speed restores, if there is no other dummy near the triggering unit.

If you are using a dummy that is channeling the cloud ability, then you should be able to just modify the values in the object editor. Perhaps you would need to use negative values, in that case, hold down the "shift"-key and double-click on the "Movement Speed Modifier" field, and then you can enter negative values.

double post day ?

...you guys are making it much more complicated than it needs to be. Just use silence?

 

[Xarxos]

The cloud ability isn't just silence, it can be used to slow or cause units to miss as well, what if that is what he's looking for? Also, silence prevents units from casting spells for a set amount of time, while the cloud only prevents units within the cloud to cast spells, if they move out of the cloud they won't be silenced anymore.
