Help!

[iplaystarcraft]

ok i am making this spell called "Burning Hell" it creates a phoeinx then a bunch of flames around it, the flames and phoeinx attack the ground in random places in an area of 500, the only thing im having trouble with is the attacking the ground part..... PLZ HELP!

Umm... what do you mean by random places? You mean like random units or random points in the area? If it is an unit that you can pick all the units within 500 of (position of (Casting Unit)) and add them to a group. Then you order the phoenix/flames to attack or whatever (Random Unit from (Your Group)). If you are using a random point... All I know is that you can take a region, which will be a square. This means that you can take a random point from a region with 450/450 (Not very big difference... Better than nothing) from position of (Casting Unit). Hope it helps you!!

Order it to Attck Ground. Look at the seige weapons already in the game for information on how to give the unit the ability to attack the ground.

(i based the flames off demolishers but the still wont attack groung)

PLEASE HELP!!!

did you change the attack type of your flames units? in order for a unit to be able to Attack Ground, their attack type has to be Artillery. (or maybe Artillery Line? I've never used that one before.)

 

[Daelin]

Neither did I... but as Raven said as well, you can check the units who have ground attack and compare them to see what they have in common. Trust me, if you are careful and compare right, then it should work...
