Cluster Rockets

[Karzama]

Hi

The damage field for cluster rockets doesn't seem to work... wondering if this is just me or is one of those things that just doesn't quite work as intended?

EDIT - sorry to clarify I mean amending the stats by trigger

 

[Daffa]

If by trigger, may we see your trigger?

Some fields are 1-indexed and some are 0-indexed. You may be changing level 2 instead of level 1’s properties.

Some fields do not update until the ability is changed to a different level and then back to the ‘original’ level which will be properly updated.

Cluster Rockets in general is a very weird ability.

This is the line I am using - the ability only has 1 level so not sure if the level problem would be a thing?

• Ability - Set Ability: (Unit: TempUnit's Ability with Ability Code: Flamethrower (Pos 2))'s Real Level Field: Damage Amount ('Ncs1') of Level: 0 to TempReal

tell me this ability what you are tryin to do, maybe i could help.

I am just after an area damage ability that uses projectiles like how cluster rockets works, doesn't really need the stun at all

I guess a missile system could work?

Maybe try using the alchemist healing spray ability and change its 'healing' to 'damage' and use the appropriate targets allowed.

Increase then Decrease level right after this line

I'm going to try making a custom spell of some sort, but thanks for the help!!!

You can dummy cast a benign cluster rockets for visual effect and then use a different aoe spell that does work how you want. Or trigger the damage with normal cluster visuals.
