Hey guys! I was just wondering if it was possible to make a variation of the Shockwave ability and make so you simply have to press the button for it to shoot infront of the caster. As in, you do not have to click where to fire it.

Anybody know how to do this? Or something similar? :D

1. make a dummy spell give it the hero/unit who should be able to cast the spell
2. make a trigger detecting when the dummy spell is cast and then create a dummy at the postion of the caster, give a dummy spell based on shockwave to the dummy and order it to cast the spell to a point in fornt of the caster

here you go, check the triggers inside it and do the same.

When you want things like this, then you create a dummy ability.
That is an ability that has no effect.
Then you create another ability, the actuall ability.
Then you create a dummy unit, and you give that unit the actuall ability.
Then with triggers you create the unit, and force it to cast the ability!

Have fun editing :D
