I am using a version of the flame strike removing all of its damage in this. I picked it because it can target the ground.

I desire to have 5 "crop" destructibles to be created when the spell is cast at the point of the circle of the spell.

I can get the crops to appear if I set it at the position of the casting unit. What do I need to to to get crops to appear at the site of the spell?

Just change the event to

Unit - A Unit Starts the Effect of and Ability.

Finishes casting is worse anyways, and doesn't fire most of the Event Responses.

I think that volcano ability lets you create destructibles.

 

[Wraithwynd]

I'm uncertain which suggestion worked - using volcano or using starts an ability - I have a working plant growth system now. Thanks.

 

[PurplePoot]

They both do, actually. Volcano because it creates them in the object editor, Starts the Effect because it gives the Target Point of Ability Being Cast.

Can you mod the volcano to make units? and give it auto cast ... because hoenstly I dont wanan take the time to find out.

 

[PurplePoot]

Probably not, no idea though.

[off-topic]another question about the volcano. how can you make the fire rocks that spew out a different model?[/off-topic]

EDIT: mm maybe that was necro posted.. added

also, this tree grow thing would be cool if i made the trees into explosions instead. or rocks. or water.

 

[PurplePoot]

It's the Volcano <Effect>

 

[Just_Spectating]

but when i changed it, it stayed the fire spewing out.

Don't know about spewing. Didn't play with that - I removed all of the effects and buffs from my custom spell - I do get a little ground deformation I added an effect for the spell (tranquility believe)

I do not know about water however rocks are possible either make a customized destructible or a customized pathing blocker or bridge/ramp and create those instead.

Explosion may be possible too. I would imagine that one way to do it is to use the barrel of explosives:

• Actions
  • Player - Add (0 - 1) to (Owner of (Casting unit)) Current gold
  • Destructible - Create a Barrel of Explosives at (Target point of ability being cast) facing (Random angle) with scale (Random real number between 0.50 and 1.00) and variation 1
  • Wait 0.20 seconds
  • Destructible - Kill (Last created destructible)

Wraithwynd, i wasnt asking a question on that post, i was simply saying that it is a useful ability to make. I am very capable of making it rocks or any other doodad.

Well maybe someone else who doesn't will read that and say "Oh cool" and need an answer.

My time spent in answering a non-question - not really a waste of time for me.
