How can I make an autogun spell

[gabmar]

I tried a lots of things but nothing worked, I want to make a spell of an automatic gun so the player will need to use the spell to attack.

Hmmm some ideas:

1. Use stormbolt?! Change projectile and set cooldown to 0.5
2. Set damage of unit to 1-1 and use searing arrows?!

Nice try and thank you but I was more thinking that you click on the spell then you click some where around you and that the caracter will shoot like 6-7 bullet automaticly to this place and that the bullet will damage everyone they touch

shockwave?!

 

[gabmar]

I already use it for semi auto or pump gun but it can't shoot more than 1 wave... and there is no trigger to make it shot other waves automaticly...

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

and there is know trigger to make it shot other waves automaticly...

You really think so?

Well then you should go to the tutorial section and check the tutorials about "dummies".

I give you a hint. There IS an easy way to make a unit cast more shockwaves. But I won't tell you as it is SO easy. (again check the dummy tutorial)

 

[gabmar]

Lol thx for the hint! ok I'll check there but I'd prefer you to tell me
maybe you sould give me the link because I don't find it... well i'll continu to search anyways!

Nice tutorial but I didn't understand how it could help me, if you could please tell me exactly what to do it will be very nice from you.

I think they mean getting the dummy unit to case shockwave. That would solve the problem with basing mutliple abilities off the same spell. In order to get multiple waves that way, you'd probably have to trigger it though.

 

[gabmar]

Oh yeah thx I'll try something thx to you both but there is a last problem, idk what you mean by getting the dummy unit to case shockwave

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

See a dummy unit is an invisible unit which can do EVERYTHING without being seen.
It is invisible, unselectable, unkillable.

So when somebody uses your ability you can easily create multiple dummy units and make them cast an ability based on shockwave to create your "attack". (use unit - issue order targeting a point)

 

[gabmar]

ok but there is no trigger to make a unit use a spell (or maybe I just never seen it but there isn't in the trigger you told me exept if I use shockwave but the skin will be wrong ). I know that I don't really understand that because I never used Dummy, can you please tell me the most exactly you can how to do this from the begginning.

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

There are triggers which give units orders:

Unit - issue order (i think it was that) with

No target: Actions like "stop" or spells like warstomp/tunderclap
target point: Actions like "move" or spells like Shockwave
targeting unit: Actions like follow or spell like heal
...

you make your own shockwave spell with the right model and use this trigger:
(the shockwave spell must NOT have cooldown or manacost!

Set position of casting unit = "a Variable"
For(1 - numberOfBullets)

Create dummy unit at "the Variable"
Add "yourShockwave" to last created unit

unit - order last created unit to "orc chieftain - shockwave" to target point of ability being cast
