Projectile size

[Total_Warrior]

Hi im making a spells map arena and i made a spell based off breath of fire and gave it the fireball projectile but its too small how do i make projectiles/spells/buffs bigger?

 

[leet.firefox]

Projectile size increases with unit scaling value,

Is there a way without changing scaling value?

 

[leet.firefox]

not that I know of.

Use a HUGE dummy unit? (invinsible)

 

[leet.firefox]

oh right, I always forget about dummy units! Just have it attack once, timing might be a little off

 

[Total_Warrior]

But i dont know how to combine the spell with the dummy unit

 

[leet.firefox]

just make it so when you cast the spell a dummy unit is created on the casting unit and make it attack the target unit, I would show you here but I am on my PSP

Make a dummy unit into the projectile and use a trigger to make it 'slide' so that it can move faster than 522, which is max movement speed of units, make it slide toward the facing angle of attacking unit.

Use a variable to save the angle.

if you cant mage to use a dummy unit

increase the size of your unit and make it go back to normal very fast and i mean VERY fast

that should work

In my opinion, it shouldn't work.

Another solution would to make the dummy unit look like the missile, meaning using the missile's model as the model interface. Create it dead and then resurrect it, that should do the birth anim, then kill it when it collides with the unit.
REMINDER: dummy units need the ability LOCUST

if you dont know why you question?

quote from my map

• Thor Casts Titanic Hercules
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to BLABLALBA
  • Actions
    • Set SaveMe = (Casting unit)
    • Animation - Change SaveMe's size to (400.00%, 400.00%, 400.00%) of its original size
    • Animation - Change SaveMe's vertex coloring to (85.00%, 70.00%, 100.00%) with 99.00% transparency
    • Wait 0.20 game-time seconds
    • Animation - Change SaveMe's size to (150.00%, 150.00%, 150.00%) of its original size
    • Animation - Change SaveMe's vertex coloring to (85.00%, 70.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency

and that looks like this

one square is the missile and the square that has nothing is the unit... you have to know that doing it this way your unit is gonna disappear for a short amount of time (.2 seconds) but the missile is gonna be big... else... you can try a more complex trigger that is gonna make it look a lot better... this is just a simple solution

You could do the same thing but making the breath of fire spell a dummy spell. Just increase the dummy units size and create one when the spell is casted, and order him to do the real spell.
