Fire Ball Ability

[Shendoo2]

how do i make it so when a hero use's a ability "fireball" it automatically casts it in front of the hero??

u want to give the dummy unit the ability and run a trigger like this

• Unit - Create 1 (Dummy Unit) for (Triggering player) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees

and then run this for a single dummy unit
You will need to set a variable for the dummy unit to cast the ability
Like so

• Set hero_select_unit = (Random unit from (Units of type hero select))

and then run this for a single dummy unit

• Unit - Order (Dummy unit) to Neutral - Firebolt (Target unit of issued order)

this is if you have multiple dummy units

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type (Dummy Unit)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Order (Dummy Unit) to Neutral - Firebolt (Casting unit)

just remember the variable. and to destroy the variable after the end. or if you're not going to use that variable for anything else u can set it at intialization.

so all together should look like this

• frost impale 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to firebolt
    • (Level of firebolt for (Triggering unit)) Equal to 1
  • Actions
    • Set hero_select_unit = (Random unit from (Units of type hero select))
    • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Neutral - Firebolt (Target unit of issued order)
    • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game

jooster: check your code for leaks... it is leaking the dummy unit position when created.

im guessing you want something like

"Hero" casts Fireball

instead of targeting an enemy, the fireball is launched forward, and when it collides with a unit, it takes damage and get stunned
