Shooting while moving

[Vini]

There my spell I request because its one of the most important i need

I would ask if its possible to make a shoot by running skill. I mean like this
The archer would need a torso animation rotating and runnning in same time... too an attack animation while he is running

; = archer
-= arrow
x= ennemy
>=running action


>;.....-..x (what a concept hehe) also if u cant do this i would like that you post for tell me anyhelp on how do it)

Well... It would be a little strange but you could lock the entire unit but the legs and then, order it to move to back. And to attack, you would need an animation where the unit both moves and attacks. Which to be honest is pretty complicated. So it's most a modelling problem. The attack itself while moving could be done from a dummy unit with locust and the none.mdl model. And no shadow of course.

Here is my wild idea but I cant help you w/ those modeling.

Do the ff;

1. customize the phoenix fire ability. especially the data fields, & the projectile art & arc & give it to your dummy unit whose attack is disabled.

2. make a dummy spell 4 the archer

Pseudocode:

E: a unit own by player # begins casting an ability

C: unit type of casting unit = archer & ability being cast = dummy spell

A: create 1 dummy spell for player # at the position of casting unit

hide last created unit

order last created unit to follow casting unit

wait ## sec

destroy last created unit

Final Opinion: I really dont know if the customized phoenix fire will work if the dummy unit is hidden. look at the bright side if everything will work then you can have a multiple attack...he..he..he
