Help: been trying to make this ability for hours

[weuser]

So, it's called Voodoo Doll torture.

It's a three-level spell which should work like aerial shackles except:

It should have a different animation (dark summon missile around target for duration; ent birth around caster once in beginning) and it should do magic damage (I don't know if aerial shackles does this).

I tried through triggers and got pretty close except:
1. I was ending it before full duration when casting hero faced another direction (not ideal but best I could get). But this only worked rarely, it would usually end for no reason.
2. I don't know how the target animation would work for flying creatures (probably would show on the ground)

Then I tried through aerial shackles ability but the damn net won't go away no matter what I delete.

Can someone tell me how to do it either through triggers or tell me how to get aerial shackles net animation to go away??

Actually you don't need to use such a huge font size for your text.

If you want to remove the net you have to change the art-target field of the aerial shackles buff and not the spell itself. There you can also have any other effect.

Thanks but I'm not sure what you mean: in the abilities editor, "Art - Target" was already empty (it won't fill in with anything when I right click it and select reset; so either it was always empty or I've already deleted it).

Then you probably did that to the ability. What I meant was go to 'buffs' in the object editor and edit the aerial shackles buff and not the ability.

That works. Though, how will I be able to cast aerial shackles for real now with another character? Guess I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Thanks
