One last question..

How to make the spell shockwave damage people based on a units attributes..

Ive been told i need a moving point, but im really unsure on how to do that.

If someone can write out a nice tidy tutorial + trigger i will be very grateful.
+ also.

Set X = Target unit of ability being cast
Set Y = Strenght of casting unit
Damage X for Y*n

I think i understand what you mean, il give it ago.
If not can you write out a trigger i can use as a guide line ?


Currently only damaging a unit if its selected..
I need it to damage as a wave.. so AOE

a shokwave based on stats is pretty hard for the beginning

first of all you need a movement system. You may abuse a knockback system for that)

create a dummy unit witht he model of the shokwave in the object editor.

Create a ability with the stats you want. In your case you may use a empty sholwave(no damage and projectille, just mana cost and cd and tootip)

You need to detect when the spell is casted.
Get the point where the spell was casted.
Create the dummy unit.Make sure it have the right facing(just amke it face the point)
Use the movement/knockback system to move the unit towards the point.
Now you have to pick all units in aoe around the wave every 0.1seconds.
damage them and add them to another group.
if they are already in the other group(which means they already got hit by the wave), dont damage them.

well that was the basic =)

You basically have to program Shockwave yourself and use a trigger to apply the damage formula. Thankfully, Shockwave is a very simple spell! You just create a dummy unit, move it with a loop, check the enemies nearby it, and damage them according to whatever formula you want (then add them to a group so that you don't damage them multiple times!). Like so:

(Note: Base spell is Shockwave with most categories zeroed out, and of course you need to have a dummy unit.)

• Shockwave
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Shockwave ABILITY

    • Set SWDamage[SW] = (((Real(SWLevel[SW])) x 50.00) + ((Real((Strength of SWCaster[SW] (Include bonuses)))) x ((Real(SWLevel[SW])) + 2.00)))
    • -------- Creating the shockwave dummy at an offset so that you only hit units in front of the Tauren Chieftain, instead of in a circle around him. --------
    • Set SWPoint[2] = (SWPoint[0] offset by SWArea[SW] towards SWAngle[SW] degrees)
