Requesting a shooting system

[EloTheMan]

I need a basic shooting system for my project, nothing big actually it should just be like a trigger version of the Shockwave/Carrion Swarm ability that I can easily modify the Projectile Speed, Projectile Height, Projectile Model, Damage and the number of units it can damage/pass through.

It should be MUI and GUI. Bonus points if you can make it so that the projectile doesn't go through Purple areas (Pathing Blockers in general).

I'll hand out some rep and give credits in my map.

So no one is interested in this request? :/

It is not that everyone is not interested about this request , it is just I don't know why.
And another thing , is that a working test map you've atttached ?? If not I will fix it (maybe) . . and finish it about a few minutes.

I think this map has one thing you need. It has a stun actually but I think you can handle on how to remove it. View attachment Spells in Hashtables v0.01.w3x

I will check that out soon.

It is not that everyone is not interested about this request , it is just I don't know why.

I guess it was a too simple request for this community but its gonna be a core element in my map which will be spammed frequently so I wanted it to be good and efficient.

 

[Razer!X]

I tested it and it works as good as it should be and good luck on your project !!!!
