Mortar shot ability help (reforged)

[kokon]

Can you advise me how can i best implement archer shot that would resemble mortar shot.
A single arrow shot that lands at xy coordinates. No area of effect damage needed actually

Then what is the arrow doing? If it targets XY coordinates then it can’t target a unit to do things to and it by default has to do some area effect where it lands.

Depending on your intent you could implement a projectile system, base a skill off of acid bomb and dummy-cast it, or use something like Flamestrike.

Yes. XY.

It seems i can not make Acid bomb to be thrown at xy.
And flame strike. Idk it has a certain delay. Im not sure i can sync it with the arrow long shot.

Use a dummy unit with artillery-type attack and long range/acquisition range and order it to attack ground at the target location

You can give it a high flying height to make it look like the shot comes from the sky

No you can't but you can do this:

• Hero casts a fake skill targeting XY that doesn't do anything else but take mana and go on cooldown
• Create a dummy unit at that targeted xy and another at the hero's xy; give both dummies short expiration timers
• Give a modified Acid Bomb spell to the second dummy, set its level to match the caster's
• Order the second dummy to Acid Bomb the first dummy, which will apply all of its secondary damage and effects to things around the target xy

I'm still confused though because you said you don't want to do aoe damage but you seem interested in Acid Bomb which does damage. Are you hoping to apply some sort of buff/debuff or other effect in the AoE where the arrow lands?

I can do AoE single hit on area 8 or so
