Key shoot spell

[KaboomMaster]

I'm looking for sum1 to make a simplified version of attack in a line by pushing a letter key. If u have ever played Azeroth carts by Blizzard it is the custom made trigger that lets u press the "F" key and ur unit will fire his carts machine gun in a line. I dont care wut format u use whether it jass, preset triggers, or another format as long as it works without glitches and it is easily made and can be ajusted for multiple units range and damage (ex: player1 is using a steam tank and its range would be 300 but player2 is using a catapult and its range is 500 and they can both work at the same time). Thx to any who try this I would really appreciate it.:emote_cool:

can't u just copy from Azeroth Carts? lol

 

[KaboomMaster]

Dude have u ever seen there trigger i havent learned how to do jass or anything yet and it confuses me thats y i was asking for a simplified version of it that i coud easily adapt for diff units a player is using

 

[cal823]

i agree with Kaboom, thatd be like the most useful trigger so far, like ud be able 2 use it for like shooter style maps, dogfight maps, etc

 

[KaboomMaster]

Finally sum1 who sees the possibilities and the necessity of this trigger (now i just need sum1 to do it)

Well, Azeroth Grand Prix is written in JASS, or Just Another Scripting System.

Pressing F is easy, that's just the hotkey.

As for shooting a bullet in front of you, you have to use a dummy and detect when there is a unit near it, then destroy the dummy and damage the hit unit.

www.thehelper.net is a useful resource for all asiring spellmakers out there,

ok thx but i was still looking for an example or tutorial on how to do a dummy system so it u could make an example map or give me the link to a tutorial it would be much appreciated

What exactly are you wanting the unit to shoot. For example, if you want the unit to deal damage infront of it, then just write a trigger.

Event: Unit begins casting a spell
Conditions: Spell being cast equal to "Shoot"
Actions: Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 200.00 at (Position of (Triggering unit) offset by (500) towards (facing (Triggering Unit) degrees), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

Edit: Had to remove the Trigger tags because it broke the page.

 

[KaboomMaster]

Yes but how do i make it only hit units in front of caster and change range and add a projectile model to it

thx all (especially herio-san and SHCP_1) for the help if u could answer how to do do these things it would be much appreciated

 

[KaboomMaster]

um im still waiting if any1 got an answer to how to make a missle with the dmg and in crease range ect.

 

[Jigs4w]

yea i posted a thread about somthing like this...makin projectiles dodgeable. they said infranes projectile system and as i type this i remember u suck at jass. welcome to my world but yea this is very usefull and if any1 wanted to make it....

 

[Craizie]

Hero-Sian told you how to do it..
If you want a projectile, make the spell which your using have a missile.
For the spell, base it of "Channel" and change the missile art to the desired missile art. and remove all the buffs, damage etc... ( I don't think there is anyway..)

Event: Unit begins casting a spell
Conditions: Spell being cast equal to "Shoot"
Actions: Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 200.00 at (Position of (Triggering unit) offset by (500) towards (facing (Triggering Unit) degrees), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal


There you go.. That's about it.. You have a firing spell..



EDIT: +Rep Haha
