I need a little help

[Eris]

Hello im new on this forum...and i have one question...
Sorry if this question someone posted before but i search for it 3 days and didnt find it. Im creating bossfight and i need boss to teleport and do earthquake/s. I know how to make him teleport but he just dont wont to do earthquake or just do it once. I tried it with Issue Order Targeting A Point action but it not work or i just dont know how to make it work xD

I'm assuming you're having the boss cast Earthquake.
Does he have enough mana? Is he ever stunned or issued another order while channeling? Is it on cooldown? Did you modify any specific data field? Does it work with default values?

I suppose you never heard of a dummy unit before then have you?

A dummy unit is a invisible unit that will cast the ability instead of the hero, for a dummy unit to work, you give him the earthquake ability, plus a locust ability for him not to be selectable, and a dummy.mdl for him not to appear, then you need a trigger like this

The event will be a unit begins casting a ability

Condition will be Ability being cast equals to Earthquake.

Then actions

Unit - Create 1 (dummy unit) at position of triggering unit.

Then another action saying

Unit -Issue (last Created unit) to Orc Far Seer- Earthquake at point.

Another action to create a generic timer on the dummy so it won't stay.

If you need more details just let me know

you'd need to change the whole bone structure of the model, aka you can't do it without creating a whole new model

You can, but only on some models, and it'll be processor intensive as hell.

(Although hell is not processor intensive )

 

[Tau Empire]

Well it's like he said you need to rebone the whole model for a bladestorm effect to work.

But some custom made models have a special animation used for Bladestorm like abilities, I don't remember the name of the animation but it will probably work with any model that has a sword, if the modeller decided to place in the animation that is.

You could just find some spells in the spells section for your bosses.

I found it in spells section
But the spining lasts only for 1 or 2 secs...can i somehow improve spining time in object manager...or i need to modify that effect model ?

 

[Eris]

Anyone ?
