Double Arrow need help

[Flaming]

I need a spell (actived) that shoots 2 arrows towards the target angle like this Arrow 1 -> \/ <- Arrow 2, but I have no idea how to get it done.

do you mean shooting 2 arrows to one target - one maybe straight to it the other with an arc?

hm... i think this cant be handled without triggers. you should try making 2 arrow spells - with different angles. then give the unit one of the spells.
now make a trigger like:

EVENT:      -unit begins casting an ability
COND:       -ability being cast equal to arrowspell1
ACTION:     -unit-cast arrowspell2 to (target unit of ability being cast)

well, you have to try it out cz i didnt have the opportunity yet to test that spell.

But then u still need to angle one arrow right?

btw I mean it more like the arrows flying this way
Take away the * they are just for spaces

You gave me just the idea what i needed ty it now goes like this

Event - Unit begins casting an ability
Condition - Ability being cast equal to dualshot
Action
- Create 1 Dualshot Dummy for owner of caster at unit positing of caster
- Order Dualshot Dummy to Dualshot (2) target of ability being cast

And i gave the normal dual shot 0.25 arc and the other 0 arc so it looks like they split not really what i wanted but its fine for me.

Thx Sunny for giving me an idea

Create a new ability for Multiple Shot -In the object editor, make a new custom ability based on the unit ability Barrage.
If you would like a hero skill with levels: -Change the field that says: "Is hero ability" to true.
-Save and restart the editor so it can categorize it properly, and so it shows 'art-icon-research'.
Now lets change Barriage so it works with our unit.
-Make area of effect the same as your units range, so the multiple shot doesn't shoot farther.
-Change the missile speed and missle arc to the same values as your unit.
-Set the desired ammount of damage.
-Remove any techtree requirements used for the ability.
Last, we calculate the number of targets we want.
-Unit already gets 1 for normal attacks.
-Unit already gets 1 for having barriage.
-Unit already gets 1 for the number of targets.
-If you change number of targets to 0, the unit gets a LOT of attacks.
So the minimum number of targets you can have is 3, and the maximum is somewhere around 9. Here is an image of an archer tower with multiple shot.

Give this ability to your unit and it will use it automatically when acquired.

No i didnt mean barrage I mean how to make it look like its shooting 2 arrows at the same time on the same target. But I alrdy did it my self and will post it here soon

If you wanted to make it look better, your best bet would have been to create 2 dummy units to either side of the caster (just behind the caster) and make them both attack the unit in question.

Or.. if you want to get fancy.. create a dummy unit behind the caster that attacks a 2nd dummy unit, when the 2nd dummy unit is attacked, a 3rd and 4th dummy unit are created and are told to attack the target of the spell?

Wow, that would get complicated with timing, but it would be cool to see if someone could actually do it.

And honestly, I think I've seen this done somewhere before, so it's most likely possible.

Ye that would look cool but I think its too hard for me to do, but if I creat 2 dummies Id rather let my hero also attack the target(with the spells missle).
