Shadow Arrows

[Brimstone]

I need a trigger that will create a projectile to each target from the caster when I cast my version of forked lightning..... (shadow arrows.)

go to the forked lightning skill, in object editor > skills - then change how many targets it has, The highest u can get up to is 16.

Errr... jus cancel the lightning effect and put shadow arrow?

 

[ChrisLee]

oh, if thats what ur asking ...go to the forked lightning skill, in object editor > Ability's - Then click on art effect - add a model - shadow arrow, and then delete the lightning effect.

You cannot detect the units that are hit by the forked lightning...

 

[Brimstone]

No that does not work i need a projectile to fly from the caster and hit the target though the arrow does not shoot. Forked lightning handles the damage and range and stuff but creates no projectile you can only have thos lighting bolts, (chain, mana burn, finger of pain.)

That's because Forked lightning dows not have a projectile art, it only has a lightning effect. The only thing i can think of is to trigger an artifical forked lightning, by picking units in front of the caster, and cast a modified Acid Bomb on them... But that's complicated, and not accurate enought..

yea the acid bomb thing is buggy as i myself have tried it mainly bcuz acid bomb hits an AoE instead of a fork, this will cause all the units that have the acid bomb buff to get hit.....or am i wrong??? I know tat theres a trigger that is (unit has a buff) - Equal to blah, i tried that with dummy units and man....was it sooo inaccurate!

 

[paskovich]

Set the acid bomb's AoE to 0... It will hit the main target only.

 

[Spyda Man]

but he wants it to shoot targets like fork lightning, therefore acid bomb has to have an aoe for the dummy to attack anything else cept the main target..... cuz the trigger is

Events-Unit has a buff
Conditions-Buff is acid bomb equal to true
Actions- Create X dummys at caster unit(hero)
Order dummys to attack unit with buff-acid bomb

Isnt it correct if u want the X dummys to be hit???oh and sry i didnt write down the exact triggering cuz i tend to forget stuff quickly....
