making shockwave damage allies

[PrisonLove]

how can i make shockwave damage allies as well as enemy units? i set the targets to enemy, friend, ground, neutral, structure and it doesnt work. even if the targets are only ground, structure it doesnt work. can anyone help?

What about "Allied" ? And "Player Units".

 

[PrisonLove]

nope, doesnt do anything

K, i'll look into it. (Edit on this post later)

EDIT: Hmm, seems kinda hardcoded. No success yet.
EDIT2: Sorry, can't help you mate.

no problem, thanks for trying

Would carrion swarm work?

 

[PrisonLove]

i havent tried it but i would like to keep it at shockwave since i want it damage in a line, not a cone. although i suppose i could modify the final area, but lets focus on shockwave for now.

ok so ive tried carrion swarm, breath of fire, crushing wave, and shockwave. none of them can damage allies. does anyone know how to either make one of these spells damage allies as well or know of a similar spell that will damage allies?

try removing 'friend' and 'enemy' and add 'not self'
i did that to a spell and it killed all my men (it was a 10000 damage starfall hitting the whole map)

umm my best recommendation is check out 1 of the friendlyfire-on maps and watch their triggers...

i have tried this millions of times without success.

the solution here is doing the following:

your hero gets a 0 damage - no projectile model - schockwave

whenever he casts it, an invisible dummy unit (controlled by a player NOT equal to the owner of the casting unit, nor the owner of any POTENTIAL TARGET) that casts schockwave instantly targeting the same exact point is spawned and removed.

now ofcourse that does only the optical stuff. you will still have to trigger bounty and experience gained.
