Dummy Spell {Area of effect spell with missile animation}

[Maximilianx]

Alright so I'm trying to figure out - is there any spells that target an AoE, and have a missile animation? I can't find one, and if there isn't it's not that big of a problem, but it would save me a lot of time. Thanks.

Rocket Clusters

Oh duhh, it was so obvious
Thanks a lot, I'd rep you if I could.

 

[Just_Spectating]

why, is something wrong with the rep button?

 

[Maximilianx]

I have <10, so it doesn't actually add anything.

Don't forget other spells such as Flame Strike and maybe Blizzard. I say maybe to Blizzard because I'm not entirely sure if it has a projectile or just casts instantly .

I think its changed so everyone can give rep

but blizzard and Flame strike dont have missle effect and they r channeling spells too, so i think cluster rockets r the best for ur choice

Depends on wether he wants the missiles to come from above or to shoot from the hero, since he can just change the visual effects.

 

[Just_Spectating]

the missile only shoots from the hero (bloodmage) because he has "Sphere"

Flame Strike does have a missile art, it's Blizzard I'm unsure about. Actually, I believe that almost every ability can have a missile art attached to it, you just need to define the speed and the model of the projectile. I know for certain, however, that Flame Strike has a missile art. If you pay close attention while using it, you will see a yellow-ish sphere head towards the target location. Just get rid of the part that appears instantly and it should work just how you want it to.

As for Cluster Rockets, it depends on the effect you want. If what you say about the Sphere ability is true, perhaps just give that ability to the caster unit?

 

[Just_Spectating]

once again, flame strike does not have the projectile. Its because the Bloodmage has the invisible ability "Sphere" which will throw the floating spheres above his head whenever he casts a spell.

 

[Wazzz]

Ah, yeah, I tried adding missile art to the Flame Strike and failed epically. The only other ability I can suggest is Acid Bomb. The only catch with it is you have to select a target, but other than that it has a missile and does AoE damage .

Thanks everyone, I used cluster rockets and it worked just fine
