Help with Meteor

[Rykon-V73]

I gave the Fleshdevourer the Meteor ability. It's like Infernal, but after the impact, a flame strike appears, dealing extra damage to enemies, structures and heroes.
I really don't know the action. I did the rest just fine.

You need to work with dummy units if you want a second spell to be cast. Give the flame strike to it, and give the order to cast flame strike at targeted point.

I have a dummy with Flame Strike here. Don't know how this would work. I don't think I need one as a replacement for the Infernal.

 

[BloodSoul]

It's not a replacement, you tell the triggers to detect when the Infernal spell is cast, then you create a dummy unit and order to cast flame strike at the same time.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Infernal
• Actions
  • Set point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
  • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at point facing (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees
  • Unit - Add Flame Strike to (Last created unit)
  • Unit - Set level of Flame Strike for (Last created unit) to (Level of Infernal for (Triggering unit))
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_point)
  • Set point = (Target point of ability being cast)
  • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Blood Mage - Flame Strike point
  • Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_point)

I did try to insert the code myself, but so far, it doesn't function. Can you post a map with this code? I would like to see it in action/

 

[BloodSoul]

NOTE: For some reason, the Inferno spell is quite buggy as it requires a valid unit type which lasts the duration of the stun duration in order to deal damage and stun enemy units. So I chose the dummy unit itself, because it can't attack and is invulnerable (thanks to the Locust ability), but you'll see a tiny health bar being displayed at targeted position - the dummy being spawned. If you reduce the dummy Selection Size to 0, sometimes the health bar shows as its original size.

As long as I don't see it, it doesn't bother me. I did click it, but you have to know it's there.
