Making a unit shoot an arrow, when using a JASS spell

[Satau]

Hi, i'm currently makign a Jass spell, using channel as a dummy ability. However, it has a 3 seconds cast time... Now... the problem is, when the spell is executed i wish for the caster to shoot an arrow at the target, however the: "Projectile art" variable doesn't seem to work, any idea how to do this?

Channel has no projectile art, you need to make an trigger that detecs when the ability is finished and make a dummy unit that will shoot the arrow from the position of the caster.

Or you could base the spell off a target-spell which does have a projectile art.
(like Acid Bomb or something...)

Trigger it.

Since its a JASS spell, you could always create a dummy unit and attach a SFX of an arrow to it, or give the dummy an arrow model.

The above suggestions also work.

Or you use this spell.

Thanks for all the tips, however i think i'm gonna use the engine from the Charge spell here on the hive, and simply, make a unit, looking like an arrow, charging the target ^^
