[Trigger] 'Frostbolt' but with X*INT in damage

[Zelloxy]

I've been trying to make 'change' the Frostbolt ability to make X*(The Units INT) in damage and I've succeded with that. It's just that it takes damage before the animation of Frostbolt even leaves the caster.

• Frostbolt
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Frost Bolt
  • Actions
    • Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing ((Real((Intelligence of (Casting unit) (Include bonuses)))) x 5.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

(I've configured Frost Bolt to do 0 damage)

I want the damage to be inflicted once the Frostbolt hits the target.

First of all- as a general rule of thumb you never use "A unit begins casting an ability" (it allows in certain situations for the caster not to lose any mana and the cooldown time isnt started). Instead use "A unit starts the effects of an ability", which starts after the mana and the cooldown have started.

As for your spell, you could try a couple of things.

If you don't really care about exact timing, you could just have the trigger use the 'Wait' action for like 3 seconds or something, then do damage. However if you want to get really specific, you would have to use a dummy unit. Give the dummy unit the frostbolt model, and order it to move towards the target. When it comes in range of the unit, destroy it and do X amount of damage or whatever.

Ok, I understand those things and I feel clumsy for forgetting.

Anyhow, I was wondering now how do I do so that the target takes damage WHEN the Frostbolt dummy reaches him :/

Sadly making projectiles requires alot of GUI experience.

Try search around the forums or look in the spell section..i'm pretty sure you can find something that involves projectiles in GUI.
