How to make a Shockwave with infinite range?

[Mr.Cheese]

Any ideas how to make a shockwave be cast that travels forever and damages any unit it comes in contact? I tried editing the object editor and that doesn't do it.

I suspect a dummy is going to be needed. Any ideas on the best way to go about this?

Thanks! And rep to any good ideas! =)

PS: I can get a shockwave to travel forever, I just can't get it to damage anything. Alas!

Ehh, it works for me... just set the distance to the max value.

These were my values:

Data Name	Value
Distance	99999 (or something)
Final Area	125 (standard)
Maximum Damage	99999 (or something)
Cast Range	700 (standard)

works fine for me too,but if you can't do it in editor...try triggers.

No dummy needed, this is just a basic function. What ap0calypse said.

Your problem is likely related to the maximum damage. Spells like Shockwave and Carrion Swarm will only do as much damage as their Maximum Damage will allow, and will completely ignore any units that go over that limit. Set it to a higher value.

Another fact that might help is when you are editing the maximum range and damage of your spell, press shift + enter on it or just shift + double click. This allows you to set the maximum range and damage to 1 billion indead of 1 million (although 999,999 should probably be enough, this can help you with other spells).

It is fixed.

I had the maximum damage to 999999 and range to 999999. That wasn't the problem.

The problem was that the Final Area was 300 and not 125. Rep to Apocalypse for showing the final area number. =)
