Psi Blades Help

[osh]

I need help re-making the psi blades skill of templar assassin. Please help I don't know how.

Thanks

You could use a Damage Event or Damage Engine. Detect when damage is dealt, check if the (Damage source) has the Psi Blades ability, and proceed to do the math to determine what's "behind" the (Damage target).

You could create one of these line segments starting from the origin of the (Damage target) and send it in a backwards direction over X distance. It will return you a Unit Group of all units found inside of the rectangle, which you can then filter in your Pick Every Unit action.

There may be a better way that's already built into Warcraft 3, I don't exactly know how DotA 1 managed it.

Have you tried increasing the projectile speed of your attack/setting the attack type as Instant?
