So you mean like forked lightning?

Only that it stunns targets?

 

[dust77]

stun target let say
1st bolt deal 10 dmg stun 0.5 sec
2nd bolt deal 8 dmg stun 0.3 sec
3rd bolt deal 5 dmg stun 0.1 sec

Yes, i get that part, but how does the spell look like?

The storm bolts split to 3 bolts after hitting one target, they jump in a chain, they split in front of the caster or how? ^^

Aha now i see...


Its some work, but its possible.

You can simply make dummies at the position of the caster, and order them to storm bot the target in (dunno) 0.75 second interval.

Uff... well then..

You need to know what is a trigger and a dummy.

You need to trigger the spell using trigger editor. make a new trigger and name it.

And it gives you events/conditions/actions

First you set the event to "unit startrs the effect of an ability"

Condition: Ability being cast equal to <your base ability here>

Now you need to create a dummy, go to object editor and make new unit(take footman)

now remove the model and write .mdx in the model path, remove the shadow, turn off collision disable attack, give locust and invulnerable abilities to it.

Actions: here you set some locations where you create a dummy.
as you create a dummy give abilities to it (one with 10 damage second with 8 damage...)
Then you order it to cast those abilities on the targeted unit.

Sorry its hard do explain everything, you should read some tutorials about mapping, triggering.

You can find some really good tutorials here in Tutorial sections =)
