Dark Summoning to relative position

Status
Not open for further replies.
In Reign of Chaos, Dark Summoning would move the units to the same position relative to the caster as the position relative to order target point. (as can be seen in this video)

In TFT, however, the units are just moved right next to the caster, but I want it to work like in the video.
I've tried moving the units manually through triggers, but then I don't know how to reproduce the missile effect (target art is easy to attach to the units).

Any suggestions? Thanks!

i dont think that there is a difference between the RoC and the TFT version. It might be just triggered in the cinematic.
To create a missle effect, eiter make use of a missile system or make it on your own:
hide the targets, create a missle for each one and move it to the location with a periodic timer trigger. You would need to index it though, i'd suggest you to use a unit indexer. then, unhide the units

There might be something in gameplay constants that deals with clustering units but I can't check right now I'm afraid. You might want to browse through it and see.
