Explode unit if died of a projectile

[NightStalker]

Hey guys, i created a cutom spell which an archer unit fires a projectile(like windrunner's powershot) and it cuts through enemies, with damaging everyone in its path.

The point is, i want to explode the units if they die from this projectile. I am trying to change the projectile with a dummy unit like;

if a unit dies and it's within 100 range of the projectile(dummy) explode the unit.

but i couldnt manage to succeed. Another question i want to ask is, is it possible to make this without using dummy unit. I mean, this spell is created only from object manager no imported stuff or any triggers.

All help is appreciated

Are you dealing damage to the unit in range? If so then you can check the remaining hitpoints of the unit and if it is less than the damage then use SetUnitExplodeBJ (I don't know the trigger label for it sorry) before you apply the damage.

EDIT: You don't need to apply the damage anymore, the BJ (the one available on gui triggers) function kills the unit immediately.

yeap the projectile(a spear in this spell) goes a range of 800 distance in first level and i decided to hit damage to every organic units within 100 range of the moving spear.

Well, for the if the unit's life is under 100(for example(the spell damage)) and if the unit's within 100 range of spear then explode the unit i couldnt find the neccessary event (

You don't need an event for that, just a condition.

• Sample
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Life of (YourTargetUnit)) Less than or equal to Spell_Damage
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Explode YourTargetUnit
      • Else - Actions

this looks okay but how do i write my target unit. The unit within 100range of the spear?

 

[chobibo]

Could you post the spell trigger here?

 

[NightStalker]

it's got no triggers i changed the carrion swarm spell in object editor and set the art-projectile to brigand spear and changed the aoe and damages.

that's why i'm stuck in this explode thing

 

[chobibo]

Oh, I see... I'll try to think of something.
@off-topic: Please don't double post, just use the edit mode when you want to add more stuff to your previous post. Thanks

EDIT: I'm sorry dude, I can't think of anything that can be used to detect that, if it was triggers then it would be possible (in my case). Don't lose hope though, just wait, maybe someone might be able to help you.

Wave Spell. Something that always refused to work with me. You can try Rheiko's Spinning Blade in the spells section though.

Or trigger the projectile
And then pick around...

Hmm, the problem is i don't know how to make a custom projectile with triggers (
If you know how would you mind sending me an example. A simple arrow going directly forward until the final range of the spell.
