Making a constant attack

[Xzife_TD01]

Is there a way i can change values or add abilities in the object editor to make a unit's attack look like it is constant instead of firing in intervals? For example, lets say i have some sort of bug that uses the snap dragon missile for its projectile art. How would i make it to look like it is shooting a constant stream of venom?

I'm almost sure you can't do this in object editor. Well, at least not with the animation. You could just lower the attack speed and the damage of the unit so it not only would look like attacking constantly, but it would actually attack almost constantly.

Make a missle model

Ive tried that, my units current attack speed is at .10, but i can clearly notice that he is attacking right around .70.

Set the value for "Animations - Damage point" (raw: dmgpt2) in the object editor to zero - it's listed under the attack values.

isnt that only for animation though? That won't make the projectiles for the attack constant.

if you want, say a dragon to constantly breathe fire, than change the attack speed to .05 make the missle speed to 400-600(to make it look constant), and make the damage minimal, lemme set up an equation to show you what i mean.

time between attacks is .05, that means 20 attacks per seconds
so if you want the attacker to do 100 damage per seconds then make his damage 5

D=damage T=time

D X T = damage per seconds
5 X 20 = 100

Wow i used algebra outside of school. understand my example?

You can do that... but its not with all the missile models that it looks good... if you want a constant attack.. use a missile that have a long animation, like the Pheonic fire, or the WaterElementale missile, or even the Ziggurate one... its how i make mine.

Do not only reduce Damage Point, but also Backswing Point.
It is not only for animation. It affects the time the unit has to wait before it launches a missile and how long should it play attack animation after the attack is finished respectively.​

you could also add pheonixfire ability with low cooldown and changed projectile, that would also eliminate the attack animations

Huh? For me it works perfectly when i set the both values to zero..
