multishot spell cant get it to work

[vile]

well, i tried everything and did everything i was told
i installed the caster system on my map correctly, i did every step in it, and i didnt miss anything in the installation of the multi shot.
when i enter my map, and use it, it just shoots an arrow without splitting it into two..

what's wrong?! please help, i really need multishot on my map..

I don't know how to fix that but there is an alternative. Just make a new spell from Barrage, change the tragets to allow ground targets, fix the number of projectiles, and where is says damage, put 0 (this way no damage is added)

 

[vile]

that will be no good already tried that
barrage is like an aura.. i need it to be either a target button like attack, or, when u press on it, the archer releases the multishot, but i dont want it to shoot every shot a multishot .. its an ability after all

Umm... Did you import all dummy units (if it has...), all dummy spell and all the triggers needed?? If so... I have no idea. Such problems, I cannot solve them. I just can give you advices.

 

[vile]

there's a dummy spell on the caster system?

 

[ctb]

Of course there is...

 

[Jim_Skarrj]

Try basing the spell off flurry of arrows(the warden spell) ...and just change the projectile art... you will find it much easier to do and the spell has alot of potential.

hope this helps

Hehe... Well, that should work too I guess but... It's not really what he needs, I'm sure about it.

 

[HaploMapper]

it sure sounds like what he needs to me...there's a "maximum number of targets" with fan of knives, just change projectile art to arrows..and voila, arrows shoot a certain number of targets...seems reasonable to me...

 

[vile]

apparently i was kinda nooby and i didnt put the dummy model hehe
it worked but this spell has a HUGE bug, the missile speed cant be changed, its around 700 permanently
i tried everything

as for the fan of knives, it worked, but it doesnt do an attack animation

i tried to put an animation name "spell, attack" and "attack", he shows the attack move but the arrows are shooting first before he even starts his attack animation..

any other ideas for multishot till vexorian fixes it?
heh

 

[Daelin]

Announce Vexorian about the bug if you haven't already done that. Though I'm pretty sure that you can change the speed. Are the dummy units the arrows themselves? If so, change their movement speed. And if not and it uses a spell, I'm pretty sure that it's not the main spell that uses the missile speed. Probably the spell the dummy units have. And if not, check the trigger. Even if it is in JASS, you should find a 700 value somewhere if he used it.

i notified him about it

nope i couldnt find it anywhere i have searched the whole trigger
its a trigger based on the searing arrows spell
it has a missile speed, changed it and it doesnt do anything

as i said i tried everything
