Multiple Arrows as Autocast and Orb effect

[pl4ton]

Hi guys,

sorry if I post here in the wrong forum, if its not the right, then please remove my thread.

Im sitting in China for studies right now and can barely connect to the internet. I can only dream of playing dota or other games over internet, so i was thinking about creating a map dedicated to one of my favorite dota heroes - the Medusa(Gorgon).

I got a lot of ideas what to implement in this map and really want to create it.
Im not sooo bad at triggers and read a lot in this forum about triggering and stuff. So here is my request:

What do I need (like external progs besides the Worldeditor) to create a Multiple Arrows Ability with,

- the autocast ability (nearly figured it out)
- the ability to hit (% chance based) further targets behind the first one. I was thinking of the Amazon ability in Diablo2 called "pierce".Or The skill of the nightelf siege weagons, came into my mind. Is this possible?
-based on an orb effect like searing arrows or smth like this?



Oh and please dont post the spell in here I want to figure out these things alone as far as possible, since I got nothing else to do right here besides studying

greetings

I don't think that multihit and bouncing attacks stack but anyway. Base your ability in searing arrows, as you say. Then, every time your hero casts your ability, add multihit to your hero and remove it right after that. You can remove the icon so that other players don't see what you're doing

detecting casting searing arrows will not be possible if it runs in autocast

then you have to do it via attacking and then ask if the unit has the searing arrow order

Really? I thought Unit begins the effect of an ability would work.

no arrowability is caught if casted in autocast (i'm not sure but i think manually casted they are caught) but you can work with the attack/order thing
