How do I use make a point cause damage AFTER a projectile has reached its target?

[Vicboy]

I'm using storm bolt as a grenade and I'm using spells for this...

I can't find a way to have an explosion only AFTER it reaches the target...

(You can find spell that doesn't need a unit target and uses a projectile to reach a target would be nice)

Create a trigger that creates a special effect when you use the spell?

 

[Vicboy]

Upon impact of that projectile made by the spell?

Yes

You need a custom projectile system for that
or
Wait ((distance between caster and target point)/missle moment speed) seconds
then do actions

Wait ((distance between caster and target point)/missle movement speed) does not work, since the target can move and the special effect would actually be created before the storm bolt hits the target, and even after

here is an easy way on the other hand(this way is SUI, but still)

give the stormbolt a unique buff

once every 0.01 seconds, check if any unit has buff

if any unit has buff, cause the unit with the spell to deal damage in area and remove the buff

it can be MUI, but that requires more work

 

[Vicboy]

That's practically lag...

This.

Oh by target I tought ground becouse he said granade
so it wont be a problem for ground targeting

btw moving a projectile with 0.03 interval doenst cause lag
all my spells with projectiles do that

 

[Freiddie]

I always wondered how people do that. I guess there isn't any simple way...

 

[Vicboy]

Okay, I'm just gonna abandon another project... (6th abandoned...)

I'm just gonna rep you guys... (Especially Huurka, he's my favorite)

 

[Huurka]

Why thank you!

 

[Razorbrain]

no? it will only depend on how many actions the trigger does, and in this case, not that many

and if it does lagg, he can always change the event to another one, 0.1 and 0.3 arent noticable differences since the eye refreshes at 25 frames per second i think(have heard somewhere)

 

[Vicboy]

Well, it's over, I've made up my mind, and there is no way to make an special effect without making a not-so-simple trigger

BTW, Huurka, why do you still have 1337 posts?

Are you hurting yourself again?

 

[Restor]

ehm, did you try to use another spell than storm bolt?


maybe some other spells fits your idea better than bolt

 

[Razorbrain]

well, you could use a Cluster Rockets or Blizzard Skill, create a Dummy unit to die at the desired location and then spawn the effects

it wouldnt be homing though.....
