How do a make a Storm in my map?

[TwentyonBolts]

Hey guys sorry im still fairly new to map mking. Im trying to figure out how to make a storm in my map that will deal damage to hero's that are exposed to it but im not sure how to make this storm yet. Anyone able to help with this?

 

[kevv2]

isnt there a spell like that? make a trigger using that skill as a dummy and re-casting it again ans again damaging everyone in the area

you could use a dummy unit that does x dmg in y area every z sec and moves to random points(in region?).

basicly, kinda what kevv2 said

Make a dummy unit, supposedly called 'lightning', with the base model Lightning Bolt.

Make a skill based on Passive Immolation. Configure the damage and stuff according to what you want.

Add the skill you just created to the dummy unit 'lightning'.

And just place 'lightning' in the map.

Or else if you want to create the storm via spell, just operate via trigger.

To kevv2; yup, the spell is called Monsoon and will work. Just make a dummy which cast Monsoon at a target area, when the map starts.

Make a monsoon spell and change the targets to "Ground, Enemy, Hero".

ty for reminding me of the name XD yep, using monsoon as a spell cast by a dummy unit everytime it ends would work

sorry guys when i posted this i didnt say it right. Im trying to make a Sand Storm, that will slow all units on the map and do slight dmg over time to them

It's simple:

1/ Create a region where you would like to have sand storm

2/ Make a trigger that creates "Outland Wind (Heavy)" in that region (See the example)

3/ Option A -> Create a trigger that takes 1 HP of the unit's life each 0.50 seconds
Option B -> Create a unit (not visible) in the region that attacks whoever enters the region.

Oh cmon, that's precisely what the tornado does. You can just make a dummy unit cast Tornado and finish it.

yeah, right...whatever

If the area is large then it would look cool imo to have several smaller tornados roaming the area.
