Normal Attack Projectile System

[wereguy2]

I am looking for a way to simply make normal attacks (Not abilities) hit the first enemy unit on their course and just stop.
Is this possible?

This is for this map :3

Code it, or leech it from the tons of spells and what not that have it.

I don't know if it would work, but here goes.

Maybe you can use the event "unit is attacked". then you create a dummy projectile in front of the attacking unit and make it move for a fixed period of time.

For this to work the unit is going to have to use 0 attack damage and no missile model.

A Unit is Attacked is broken for this sort of thing. Use a dummy damage type which deals 0.1% to all targets and use a damage detection system to register attacks (healing the damage dealt).

The reason I don't use 0% is because there are unrelated things that do 0 damage - you should usually ignore a 0 damage packet.

Or you could create a dummy unit and move it as a projectile. When any unit gets into X of the dummy, you kill it and deal damage.

Hmmm, now that is a good idea, if not for the maximum movement speed being too low for me...
Ugh, I may just scrap this idea, as I would like to use Weapon/Armour types...

You can set the units location with triggers. If you are using GUI: Unit > Move Unit Instantly.

Again, weapon armour types, oh and this map revolves around the Evasion ability

 

[GhostWolf]

Trigger it all, it shouldn't be too hard (this statement revolves around the fact that you probably have less then 10 kinds of attacks anyway).

 

[Kwah]

Use a damage detection system, and voila.
