rapid firing

[X-Angel]

Can anyone tell me how to do a spell so that the unit rapidly fires projectiles at a target area? like the spell crossfire for rose in desert of exile, or the jhita bones ultimate in advent of the zenith?

create dummy units and use triggers to order them to use shockwave at the target point

Is it like a variation of Cluster Rockets or something?

kinda, just that instead of all these projectiles coming out at once in an arc, i want projectiles to come out in a straight line very fast, and actually have the hero doing his attack animation

 

[AmadiTheGreat]

The spell is based on some AOE targeted spell (Blizzard, Cluster Rockets)

Then it turns the hero's animation speed to higher, plays it a few times, creates dummy units in front of the hero, creates a loop which moves those units and checks if there's enemy unit to those dummy units in range or if their distance from shooting point is X. If either of these is true, it destroys that dummy unit and damages the enemy hit.

There are some spells that fires projectiles in a cone n in a line

i suggest using dummy units that can attack-ground for this but its your choice.
it can be done via triggers but you need to create a good arc and give them an expiration timer which expires based on the distance. you also would need to check if any units are near so it may explode and that the flying heights match or the missiles flying height is lower than the nearby enemy's flying height.

i suggest using a region centered at your ability target (point) of width, height.
dont let width, height confuse you, its just a size.

you just change the arc to 0 for cluster rockets and change the missile speed and model

Except that the spell he was talking about, he chooses an area and starts firing arrows there: If unit is between him and target area, the arrows hit it. If unit is behind the area, arrows still go there, they expire at about 1500 distance.

As far as i know, the spell is JASSed.
