[Eziekiel_Rage]

how do you get items to attack i.e like battleships
i tried giving items barrage and changing attacks form air to ground and so fourth and even made trigger to automatically use item and that doesn't work. Any ideas guys?

ddint understood what you mean; can you explain better?

 

[Telefragged]

Make them create a dummy at the user that attacks a target enemy?

no no no.. lol
the method the map battleships uses is items with abilities..

all u have to do.. is create an ability and change the missile art and arcs to what u want.. then change the area of effect to say 900... in other words range: 900...

the simply create a new item, and add it as an ability for that item.. then, whenever someone or something has that item.. they will have the ability..

How about this;

create an ability, and an item.

Make the ability activate when you attack a unit.

i believe the way those maps do it is they give the item a copy of the phoenix fire ability and thats about it

(i might be wrong, i don't deal with this stuff)

but if you plan to make another clone of a map then be aware that you can't aim where those fire so its kinda dumb

This is for a standard weapon that fires normally at enemies.
here's what you do:
1)make a custom ability based off of Phoenix Fire. change these options for the ability:
Art - Icon - Normal (your choice)
Art - Missile Arc (usually somewhere between 0 and .3)
Art - Missile Art (your choice)
Art - Missile Homing Enabled (your choice)
Art - Missile Speed (most sit around 1000)
Data - Damage Per Second = 0 (I haven't made any weapons that do DoT, so i'm not sure what would happen if greater than 0)
Data - Initial Damage (your choice)
Stats - Area of Effect (this is the distance from the boat that the weapon can fire. the large grid squares in world editor are 512, to give you an idea for distance)
Stats - Cooldown (how often your weapon will fire [in seconds])
Stats - Duration - Hero = 0.01
Stats - Duration - Normal = 0.01
Stats - Hero Ability = False
Stats - Item Ability = False
Stats - Race (usually human for battelship maps)
Stats - Target Allowed = Enemy, Ground, Structure, Vulnerable for ships and buildings. Remove Ground, Structure, and Vulnerable and add Hero to make the weapon attack Hero ships only (other players). Remove Structure to make the weapon attack ships only (any kind).
Text - Name (this is a given)
Text - Tooltip - Normal = same as Text - Name
Text - Tooltip - Extended = usually just "Fires at nearby enemies" Can give bigger if you feel like it.

2)Make a custom item based off of the Crown of Kings +5. change these options for the item:
Abilities - Abilites = the ability that you just created
Art - Interface Icon (usually the same as the ability that is tied to this item)
Stats - Cooldown Group = Slow
Stats - Gold Cost (how much you want the weapon to cost)
Stats - Hit Points = Stats - Gold Cost
Stats - Stock Replenish Interval (how long you want between one buy and the next [in seconds])
Stats - Stock Start Delay (how long from map start till item is available [in seconds])
Text - Description (this is a given)
Text - Hotkey (this is a given)
Text - Name (i put the name of the item followed by the cost in parenthesis: Name (Cost))
Text - Tooltip - Basic = Purchase *Name of item* (usually the name is a special color)
Text - Tooltip - Extended (here's what mine looks like as an example: *description of weapon*.|n|nType: |cff33BBBB*what type of weapon*|r |nAttacks: |cff33BBBB*what it can attack*|r|n|nDamage: |cff33BBBB*damage amount*|r |nRange: |cff33BBBB*range of weapon*|r |nCooldown: |cff33BBBB*interval between shots*|r) take out the * and put in what you want

3) now all you have to do is tell which store to sell it and you're golden. you won't be able to target with the weapon, it will attack anything within its ability's Area of Effect.
