[Trigger] Multi Shot with AoE damage on each target and play Special Effect on each target hit?

[Red Orca]

Any one know how to do that?

I have MultiShot with 3 lvls, at lvl 1 I attack 2 targets, lvl 2 = 3 targets, lvl 3 = 4 targets. . . but I wanna do AoE damage to each target within 200 range of the target. . .

Can anyone help me out with this?

I cant use JASS, so I'd preffer GUI triggers please. . .

i can help you with it, all you have to tell me is how the unit casts it... like is it and Instant cast, target cast, or AOE cast... =]

You don't know what a multishot ability is, do you?

I'll be honest, if you don't want to use jass, this is impossible. You'd need a damage-detection engine for this, but it's pretty hard.

I do what multi-shot is... but i messed with multi-shot many times, and i make cast as a instant cast, aoe, and a target cast =]

Just leaky. And very hard and inefficient to get more than one projectile moving at once (assuming the projectiles are triggered)

MULTISHOT IS A PASSIVE SPELL YOU fool!!!
He wants it that when a unit attacks a unit, each arrow launched from the passive ability deals AOE damage. For thoes who do not know, multi shot is the passive ability of an upgraded "siege engine" that is called barrage. Somehow people can make it launch arrows that deal a % of damage (need confirmation) appon attacking and so he wants it that each arrow deals AOE damage.

Hmm. . . to JASS or not to JASS, that is the question. . .

Well, as there's no good way to do it without JASS, then I guess that nows a good a time as any to start. . .

Ummm. . . where to start?

Can someone show me how to do this and explain whats doing what?

 

[Red Orca]

Sorry to x2 post but. . .

BUMP

What events do the projectiles trigger in barrage (multi shot)?
If they only trigger a unit is damaged then you can forget this in GUI.

Amazingly easy to do in GUI, making it now.

EDIT: made it, its attached. had lots of fun making it lol. Just ask me if there are things you wanna change or don't understand something (i didnt include trigger comments)

@Ruler: That will work alright in most cases, but the 'add event' can cause some problems late-game for maps with lots of units being created and dying. Oh, and just so you know, your trigger affects dead units, as well....

 

[Red Orca]

@ruler: thanks! I'll try it out after work tonight

Leak
Leak
and lots of more Leaks..
Using GUI for damage detection will keep creating a new event whenever a new unit is created.

Keep in mind that this ability only works correctly as long as the unit who has the ability only has an attack and no other way to deal damage(spells or other periodic effects would also do AoE damage).
By the way, you are leaking a group and location at Map init.

The best way to go would be jass for no leaks.

 

[rulerofiron99]

2 leaks at map init means nothing. I cleaned up all the meaningful leaks in the main trigger.

'Keep in mind that this only works correctly as long as it is a unit without any other way to damage enemies except attacking.'

True, but there are ways around this.

'and lots of more Leaks..'

I only found 2 in the map init, where are the other ones?
