[Spell] [Need help] Spear throw!

[Aphystic]

I need an ability which throws a (anything that looks like it could be thrown...black arrow works) spear (across the entire map) and it should one hit ones it hits an enemy hero. I tried with shockwave but it bugged the f*** out.

Video & commands of my tries:

I am not the best with wc3 editor yet so a very easy explanation would be nice. I really do not know how to progress more.

SOLVED: had to do with data: distance and range.

If you base if off shockwave it will hit everything in the AOE and until it reaches its maximum range.

If you want a single target, I would recommend you base it off storm bolt. If you want it to hit the first target it encounters, I would recommend you make a dummy unit with a periodic timer that moves it (imitating a missile).

As kingkwong said above, you can use the missile method.
It's quite easy, try searching the spell section, you might find some useful spells.

The basis of missile spells

Have a dummy unit that looks like the missile
When you cast the spell, you create the dummy and add it to a unit group

A periodic timer picks all units in the group and moves them forward
It also checks units within range
If a suitable target is within range deal the damage
