Damage base on missile system

[JeffreyQ]

Hi all,

Since a unit is attacked for range is not accurate.
I was thinking how to use missile system for my unit say Archer.

If archer attacks, i create a missile? But if i do that, wouldn't the archer do additional damage when its default arrow hits?

Thanks in advance!

well, yes... you can remove the "normal" attack of the archer and make a skill which will serve as its normal attack. though this way you unit won't auto attack units and if not given any order they will run if attacked.

Is there any way else to do this instead of adding a ability?

maybe you can just set the normal damage to 1 and the missile art to none so that the "normal" attack's missile won't be seen. You can also make the attack UI to not appear by unchecking a checkbox in the unit editor for every unit. Attack - Show UI.

You should make the archer's attack instant, so the second damage is dealt by the archer you know to initialize the "custom missile". Then, give all units a custom copy of "Hardened Skin" that negates 100% of ranged damage (so that the damage on the archer doesn't have to appear to be 0).

That is a good idea. I might give it a try. +Rep.
+Rep to adiktuz too. Never knew there's attack - show UI X)
