My New RPG, Need Help

[elvenranger]

Well, I'm currently making an RPG map based loosely on the world of Harry Potter (no infringement intended), though mashed with WOW style, meaning you are an individual witch/wizard. I've got no problem with the terrain, but I find trouble with the spells.

Regarding them, I plan on making them Elune's Arrow (in DotA) like, so every offensive spell would be just like that (with jets of light though, not arrows), except that they bounce off solid doodads and also when they collide. Unfortunately, I don't know the triggers for that kind of ability, much less know the trigger to make it rebound. Perhaps some help?

I am also planning the Save/Load function, so that players may continue their journey.

I'll try to make the spell in a test map. Please wait some time.

I have something similiar in my DotA; RPG map, if i get the time later ill post the trigger for you, although it is JASS. Hope you know how to use that.

I think they have that spell somewhere o the spell catagory here, though i may be wrong

 

[elvenranger]

Oh, thank you all so much, I just really don't know about the triggers for these spells.

I'm afraid that's Leap, and also, I was looking for a bouncing version of that spell.
