[Spell] Projectile Impact Detection?(Without Damage Detect Engine)

[BETABABY]

Well as the title says, how do you make a trigger wait for the projectile to hit the target/location before the trigger fires?

 

[DEE-BOO]

Wait = (Distance from Caster to Target Point / Missile Speed ) + BackSwing Time

Waits are imprecise. Sometimes it does what you want, other times it could be a second or more late. The damage point/backswing will vary depending on the unit, so unless you program each unit's animation points, projectile speed and compensate for if the target moved during that time to a different spot, you're not even going to have a chance with those being accurate.

Are you uninterested in using a DDS because of the indexing involved? If so, keep in mind that you'll need to use timers to achieve what you want without it, which will require much more indexing.

I just want knowledge of delaying trigger cast on projectile impact without damage detection system.

I looked at the Damage engine available in Hive's resources and I have no Idea how to import it.. Its just so wobbly and gibberish to me.

Thanks anyway

Did you watch the video in the "how to install" section of Damage Engine? http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/gui-damage-engine-v3-5-4-1-a-201016/

If I can improve that video, please let me know.

Backswing Time can be found in Integer Strings?

Unfortunately, you have to manually code the backswing time and damage point based on what you manually extract from Object Editor.

That wouldn't be much of a problem.

Edit: How do you put the backswing point in your trigger?
