Increasing Barrage damage

[Imperfect]

I have a triggered ability for my hero that turns on Barrage just long enough to get one shot off, then turns it off again. Bassically, a one-shot multi-shot. However, it only ever does hero damage, no matter how I play with the settings.

I can change the # of targets appropriately, I'm cool with that, but no matter what Buff I add or what trigger code I try, I can never get anything higher than my hero damage.

Anyone have any ideas?

Also, where can I find an all-black icon so the triggered Barrage ability's icon isn't so obvious?

create a dummy unit at caster's loc and order it to attack target. dummy would obviously have barrage ability

Just so you know why that is, Barrage just takes the units normal projectile attack and causes them to shoot X number of that. So it really relies on how much damage and what type of damage the owner of that barrage does.

If you put the same barrage you made onto another unit that did more damage you'd see different results.

You can do various things.

The invisible dummy with X type dmg using it like the poster above me said.

You can temporarily add and remove damage stats to the hero or unit with various other methods during the time it's used.

You can make a set of dummy units that spawn on activation that all target and shoot projectiles and damage of your choice and then remove them after they do that.

There's fields in Barrage that don't seem to respond to change.

The triggers solutions you're looking at to solve this aren't going to be involved at all with the actual ability of barrage itself.

With help from a room-mate, I actually solved this problem much easier: After I added the Barrage ability, I added Claws of Attack +75 (custom ability, I'm sure you can figure out what it does). Then when I remove Barrage, I remove Clows of Attack +75. Bonus 75 damage (subject to armour), just like what I wanted. =)

Now how about that black icon? Does it exist, or do I have to import my own?
