Making a spell ranged.

[Kam]

How do I make a spell like Unholy Frenzy so you have to cast it on another unit, and not just so it automatically casts?

 

[iplaystarcraft]

umm unholy frenzy you cast on another unit, i don't understand.
do you mean unholy aura?

 

[Kam]

Sorry, wrong spell. But you know what I mean, a spell like Berserk for instince. It casts as soon as you hit the button, I need to know how to make it a targetable ability.

 

[iplaystarcraft]

hmmmmmm.....
i guess make a targeting spell then when unit is targeted you can add the spell and make it cast it then remove it maybe.....


:roll:

Ok, I need someone who knows what their talking about then. I'm trying to make Haste from WC2 and Bersek matches it exactly, except it isn't a targetable ability.

*eh hem*

i do know what im talking about and did u even try what a said to do?!

(btw that was a fast reply!)

 

[Kam]

I would rather not have to involve triggers in this, I need it to be muti instance, and triggers usually aren't. No offense was meant. I am just wondering if it is even possible to make a spell like Berserk castable through the regualar settings, or if I have fallen into another of Blizzards' bunny holes.

 

[iplaystarcraft]

omg duh, i just thought of this now.
you can just tweak unholy frenzy to beserk buff/effects (i think they have same effects different numbers)!

 

[Kam]

Well see it's the Data fields that interest me. For Hatse to work, it has to increase attack rate and increase the amount of damage taken. (Which is what Berserk does.) Unholy Frenzy doesn't have those data fields, and as far as I can see nothing does besides Berserk. Gaaa! So frustrating.

iplaystarcraft... one more useless post and you are warned. You kept asking what he means, practically posting the same time a lot. Stop that NOW!

Berserk doesn't increase amount of damage and attack rate. And Haste in warcraft 2 increases just movement speed, unlike slow which decreases attack speed as well. Just use Bloodlust. It is what practically Haste is in warcraft 2. Warcraft 2 bloodlust increases damage, thing which doesn't happen in warcraft 3 anymore.
