orb of annihilation stopped splashing

[hoihoi8]

I turned Orb of Annihilation into a 20 level hero spell for my map. I edited the damage, and increased the AOE range. The orb has now stopped doing splash damage.

Anyone know what could be up? Does turning it into a hero spell ruin the splash damage?

Thanks!

Did you put in these fields:

Data - Full Damage Radius
Data - Half Damage Radius

If you didn't, that might explain it.

What effect do the variables below have. Mine are set at the numbers below.

Stats - area of effect 300
Data - half damage radius 150
Data - full damage radius 1

Other data

Data - medium damage factor .45
Data - small damage factor .25

Well, you filled that part right.

But, if that's not it, then did you set the Targets Allowed to the right field? (i.e., enemies)

The unit that has the ability needs to have its attack set to "Missile - Splash".

Well, there you go. You learn something new everyday.

My targets are "Air, Enemy, Ground". Maybe I'll start from scratch with the spell and try again.

Read what Exile had to say, he pretty much answered the question. Didn't know that was the answer but like I said, you learn something new everyday.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately the missle -splash causes other issues with spells. For example, barrage doesn't work when this is checked. Guess I'll try to do a custom effect.
