Missle to Entangling Roots

[CroMoX]

Hey guys I'm trying to make an ensnare spell, but I want to use entangling roots since it does damage over time, and I'm wondering if it's possible to add a missle to entangling roots, since I tried changing the Art- Missle Art, Missle Speed to throw the ensnare missle.

However in-game it only shows the net pop-up on the target straight away (this is from the buff). Does anyone know if it's possible to add a missle to entangling roots?

You can't. You can use a dummy storm bolt with a DDS and check for the buff, then apply a root.

Or use Acid Bomb with 99% slow and Gameplay Constant configuration.

Keep with your own way then make a trigger to damage those affected by your ability

Unit affected by esnare
Trigger deals x damage per second to unit every x seconds

mind that if you use roots, the target wont be able to attack, contrary to esnare

You don't have to trigger the whole spell. First you create a custom-ability based on any targeting ability, then you trigger the missile ( periodic event = it passes some time ) , when it reaches the target create a dummy unit that has 'Entangling Root' and make him target the enemy, the damage of the entangling root will be original and proper
