Custom Attack

[Freyleyes]

How do you create a custom attack(With a weapon) that won't auto attack enemies, and will travel in a straight line until there is a wall or unit in front of it.

The attack also must go off when the mouse button is clicked, and only then.

Thanks in advance

If you want it to launch when player left-clicks somewhere, then create a trigger that checks left clicks and launch an effect when it happens.

Before you launch the missile, check wall collision for the entire path and end the missile movement there (I assume walls don't move, so checking them at any time would give same result).
Then, just add buff to the missile unit, that periodically checks whether a unit is around and if it is, then it damages the unit and destroys itself.

I have absolutely no idea how to do that(The launch effect) I can add the validators and buffs to the missile, but how do I order the unit to launch the missile and not auto attack?

There is an action called "Environment - Create effect", so use that to create the "launch missile" effect from the unit. The unit itself doesn't need any ability or weapon for this.

Thanks allot, will try it now

@Mort

I tried working with the validators and buffs, but I cant figure it out. If possible, could you please explain to me how to add the validators and buffs to the effect, if its not to much trouble to ask for, or just direct me to a tutorial.

Thanks in advance
