Melee unit autocasting an arrow ability

[Arhowk]

Title... its not as simple as it looks. Giving a unit cold arrows and making it attack with cold arrows will do nothing. Any workarounds? I'd like to keep the base damage to be saved as a variable on damage event, thanks!

Also, still looking for how to disable autocast

Cold Arrows work on melee units except that they cant place any buff.
You can make the unit ranged with very small range, high missile speed (e.g. 0 which is instant) and an invisible projectile.

I dont know why you have to use cold arrows at all but you seem to have a reason..

• Events
  • Unit - A unit is issued an order with no target
• Conditions
  • (Issued order) equal to (Order(coldarrows))
• Actions
  • Unit - Order unit to Neutral Naga Sea Witch - Deactivate Frost Arrows

I tried the trigger to no avail, and im making an ability that deals 200% attack damage. Making the unit have 101 range is my last resort

Im sorry, I forgot you need a very short break, something like this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit is issued an order with no target
• Conditions
  • (Issued order) equal to (Order(coldarrows))
• Actions
  • Countdown Timer - Start timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.00 seconds

• Events
  • Time - timer expires
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - Order unit to Neutral Naga Sea Witch - Deactivate Frost Arrows

As for the rest, I still dont see why you need frost arrows. 200% damage sounds a lot more like a normal crit..

I think 128 is the max melee range so you might need to make it 129 to make it count as a non-melee attack

No, attack range has nothing to do whether the units weapon type is melee or ranged.
129 is just the default border where the UI starts showing a range for the unit when you hover over its weapon icon.

That's what I mean... because there is no ranged weapon type is there? weapon types on the OE are normal, missile etc...

Try change attack type to Missile.

On a side note, Critical Strike isnt

2) Able to have a cooldown
3) Detectable by triggers
