how do u make multiple targets.

[ziolang0]

i dont know how to make a unit target more than one other unit. could someone help me?
i tried the "maximum number of targets" but it didnt do anything.

Are you looking to do AoE damage with your attakcs?

 

[ziolang0]

no, i want my tower to attack 5 targets at once

 

[JeffreyQ]

use the human unit ability - barrage
add it to your tower [:

the downside is barrage will hit units behind, but it shouldn't matter since tower model is 360degrees.

it didnt work, wat did i do wrong?

make a split shot ability based on barriage.

How to

Create a new ability for Multiple Shot
-In the object editor, make a new custom ability based on the unit ability Barrage.
-Make area of effect the same as your units range, so the multiple shot doesn't shoot farther.
-Change the missile speed and missle arc to the same values as your unit.
-Set the desired ammount of damage.
-Remove any techtree requirements used for the ability.

Last, calculate the number of targets we want.
-Unit already gets 1 for normal attacks.
-Unit already gets 1 for having barriage.
-Unit already gets 1 for the number of targets.
-If you change number of targets to 0, the unit gets a LOT of attacks.
So the minimum number of targets you can have is 3, and the maximum is somewhere around 9.
Give this ability to your unit and it will use it automatically when acquired.

hope help

where you got it?

5 attacks at once is easy, use barrage with 0 additional damage, it does the normal attack damage to all units.

@Dr Super Good
You mean if i set the "Data - Damage Per Target" to 0, the barrage will do the damage that the unit do?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Yes, as barrage works by normal damage of attack + X damage.

That is how it is done in heroes and empires, X hero seige and most TDs.

Thanks for clarification!
The multishot from thehelper.net is not really good. Because barrage is able to hit units around the attacker in 360 degrees. So if you don't mind it attacking enemies behind the unit, then its fine [:

it's used for tower, so it fits..

thx all. i got it to work. for a while it still didnt work... then i realized my unit was set to missle(bounce) which apparently kept the barrage from working
