Need help with a triple shot ability (3 arrows etc)

[FreeTheCatalanCountries]

Hi, I am making a Lord of the Rings map, and I would like to create an ability for Legolas, which would allow him to shot three arrows at the same time.
Do you know some map where this ability is already made?
I tryed to create it from the Naga Sea Witch's Lightning Fork, erasing the lightning effects and putting an archer arrow as missile, but it doesn't seem to work properly.


Thanks

Triggers. pick units in front of you, and shoot arrows at them.

you can use the skill berren? (i think thats what its called?) make it only shoots 2 arrows, and other passive attacking skill will mess it up.

or make it have mana, so it will be a active skill.

edit: o btw that berren skill is form steam tank.

I don't know which is that ability.

By teh way, I think the lightning fork from Naga Seawitch is the best spell... it's just that I don't find the way to change the lightning spell for three arrows... dunno how to do it...

Instead of a ray it should appear an arrow. But I don't find the way to make this work. If som1 knows tell me plz!

> the forked lightning spell from naga will only work with lightning effects

> the "barren skill" like Dracula said, actually called Barrage is passive and would suck

> if you want an ability that whenever you use it you shoot 3 arrows or how many you want, I suggest you do like PurplePoot already said, you pick 3 units in an angle in the range of the hero who use the skill and create as many dummys as arrows to shoot arrows at the picked enemys


P.S. This skill has been requested 1000 times and also made as many times in the forum...

I dunno how to make spells with dummies xD is the4re any manyal over there? I've seen some already made maps who have that kind of spells but I dunno hwo to import them =(

 

[PurplePoot]

well, it requires triggers

couldnt he use a temp passive ability use a skill that will give him the passive ability for one attack and then removes it...


like say dummy ability named triple shot, gives caster passive ability of barrage or whatever its called.


...OR...

You could use the knife throw(shoots knives all around the caster) ability change the amount to three and change the art to arrows... i beleive that will work and give the best looking result plus much easier and cleaner than using fummy units.

Im not certain because i have not looked at it in a long time but i think that would be possible.

change max targets to three and missles to three or somthing like that and change art to arrow.

The thing with the Fan of Knifes is not realistic, since you might shoot some arrows behind you!? The point is that FoK throws them around the caster in any angle.

 

[PurplePoot]

Well, it is better than nothing, i suppose

 

[Sansui]

actually if you change one of the art models it shouldnt look that way at all. FOK hits several targets and uses a model that makes it seem like knives are being thrown in every direction. Yes it can still cast behind the caster but that just means he will have to make the caster trigger to face each unit if not only for a brief second while it is cast.

 

[PurplePoot]

but he will have to spin so fast you wont see him do it

 

[raul]

And not to mention how fiddly it'd be to pick the units effected by this non targetable spell....

 

[Sansui]

hmm, odd its not hard to detect the targets of this spell at all.

and no it wouldnt be instant.

 

[PurplePoot]

but then you would have arrows coming out of your rear, as FoK is instant
