[General] Skillshot in cone

[Fakuspakus]

I want my hero to throw 3 projectiles in a cone, something like this:

I tried doing it like this:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • And - All (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • (Facing of SS_Caster[SS_iM]) Less than or equal to 360.00
            • (Facing of SS_Caster[SS_iM]) Greater than or equal to 300.00
        • And - All (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • (Facing of SS_Caster[SS_iM]) Greater than or equal to 150.00
            • (Facing of SS_Caster[SS_iM]) Less than or equal to 250.00
  • Then - Actions
    • Set SS_tLoc[SS_iM] = (PositionOfChargedSpell[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] offset by (0.00, -130.00))
  • Else - Actions
    • Set SS_tLoc[SS_iM] = (PositionOfChargedSpell[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] offset by (-130.00, 0.00))

But that's not consistent, does anyone know smarter way to do it?

Why are you if'ing anything? Just launch the first projectile to the direction of the unit's facing. Then make the other projectiles face (Facing of (Casting Unit) - 45) and (...+ 45)?

Ideally it would be a loop:

• Set Count = 3
• Set Spread = 80.00
• Set Angle = ((Facing of (Triggering Unit)) - (Spread/2))
• For each (Integer A) from 1 to Count do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set Angle = (Angle + (Spread/Count))
    • -------- do whatever ---------

This method is the most flexible.
Ignore the leaks and obvious shit.

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Shockwave
  • Actions
    • Set ConeWidth = 90.00
    • Set Projectiles = 3
    • Set ConeWidthSpread = (ConeWidth / (Real(Projectiles)))
    • Set TemporaryReal = ((Angle from (Position of (Triggering unit)) to (Target point of ability being cast)) - (ConeWidth / 2.00))
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to Projectiles, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at ((Position of (Triggering unit)) facing (Angle from (Position of (Triggering unit)) to (Target point of ability being cast)) degrees
        • Unit - Add Shockwave to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 600.00 towards TemporaryReal degrees)
        • Set TemporaryReal = (TemporaryReal + ConeWidthSpread)

^Maybe you already know this but you only need 1 Dummy for an effect like this. Just gotta make sure the Dummy is setup correctly and it's ability has no cast time or cooldown.

I've never tried that, didn't believe it was possible.
