Meteor Spell

[commoe]

Hello

Currently, i am trying to create a spell that makes a volley of meteors fall on top of the target's head. i dont want it to be blizzard because it doesnt follow the target if it moves. i just need a base spell for it and i think ill be fine.

Thanks! If you need me to be more specific, just ask.

I believe i got it. thanks for your help...

set a variable to the target unit and just repeat the blizzard spell on the variable.

you need to trigger it so the best base spell would be the spell "channel"...

You want the "falling meteors" to follow the targeted unit... ?
I mean, is this spell Target Unit, or Point Target ?
Please, be specific

Alternatively you could do this, if you want variety of effects:
Create a flying dummy unit with guided ability/spell,
Using triggers, spawn it on the casted unit and cast that spell on him. From now it's up to you since we don't know how rapid or multiple meteors are to be cast..

or can we change the missile model of starfall? can we do that?

i want it to be target unit.

Specificly, i want multiple infernals to drop onto the targets head (not the unit infernal). it should be pretty simple to make once i get a base spell. not much complicated stuff to it

the base spell best for this is channel since there isn't a default ability which makes this effect meaning you need to trigger the meteors...

or you can try using acid bomb, by changing the special effect of the buff to the infernal meteor model, but you will be forced to use a definite duration for the spell so that the damage will be synced with the infernal drop, and also using this method will result in a pretty bad effect...

for best effect, (ie. the infernal meteor actually follows the unit until it hits), you would need a system that is probably coded in vjass (Berb's projectile I think is good for this)

use starfall then change the model to rain of chaos...

Starfall is based on "Instant Cast Ability", not Target Unit
However...
A trick, can be done =D

 

[commoe]

I just used the fireball spell (or whatever its called) and used some fancy triggering to do it

shit, starfall cant work. however, i can chnge the effect of say storm bolt to that of starfall
