Locust Swarm, Without Damage Return

[mattdraw]

Working on this spell that uses Shadow Hunter's Serpent Ward to summon a portal that then uses Locust Swarm to create waves of demons. I want the demons to fly about and attack units at random within the portal's area, but I don't want them to return health and move back to the portal.

Any ideas how to solve this?

You want it to last forever or for them to just disappear?

I wanted it to last until the portal's time runs out, which already works perfectly. I tried setting the "damage return factor" to 0, but then the created demons don't move or attack at all.

set it to 0.01

But really, if the locust swarm's duration is longer than the caster's life time than why is returning health a problem anyway?

 

[Vinz]

Moving back to the portal is unavoidable unless you kill them before they do so, which would require filtering locust units upon entering the map and killing them after a duration.

the locusts will disspear after the portal dies im pretty sure. so just make sure the locusts last longer than the duration of the portal.
