Slow a unit while it's being fired upon

[LazyCoder]

I'm making a TW map, and I'm a bit noobish when it comes to spells/attacks/etc. (but extremely competent with triggers).

I'm trying to make a water tower that will slow a unit when it's being blasted by a stream of water, but as soon as that water stops, it speeds back up again.

You could add a modified version of the spell Frost Attack with a much shorter duration to your tower, and then you can change the slowing effect of the frost in the Gameplay Consants, under "Spells - Frost Movement Speed Reduction". It should provide the effect you are looking for.

use the spell friary fire in object editor, and if you want to it always be on auto cast just set a trigger that says... : if unit learns ability etc...etc...etc... condition: ability = freary fire..... order unit to.. and so on.

I think I'll try the frost attack one first...

I've got a test map that I was playing with saved if you need it. Also, you may need to change the minimum movement speed in the Gamplay constants to notice a difference. I think it's "Movement - Minimum Movement Speed" or something very close to that.

what about slow poison? change the models so it doesnt look so poisony and set the duration to something low.

frost attack should work fine

the only problem with frost attack is it is global; all spells that use it are stuck to the one value. if you want something that scales use poison.
