Is there a way to increase missile size?
Like on abilities for example, so for Shockwave make the missile size larger,
Its nice to be able to increase the AOE for damage and everything, but if I make level 2 400 more aoe, but the missile is the exact same size it just doesn't look right

You'll have to edit the effect model yourself, or create/move the effect manually (ie not with the spell) since SFX can now be scaled with code.

edit the effect as in needing like a modeling program?

Or you can increase the size of the caster to make the missile look much bigger. Although, editing the missile model seems much better imo.
Actually a funny suggestion.
Would the missile size remain large if the unit is scaled back down?
How would it even look if you quickly rescale the caster twice? Does it give off a visible flicker? :D

I think not.

You can have a dummy unit cast the spell instead.
Oh yeah. What's the best way to interrupt the original spellcast while still triggering its cooldown and finishing the cast animation? Using a dummy spell on the original unit? I'd figure that works, but then you'd have to calculate the damage value separately.
