[Spell] Spell is faster than the art missile!

[Aphystic]

So I've taken "Shockwave" and turned it into "spear throw" and when you throw the spear it all looks good but it does hit the target before the art missile does.
This is how I've changed the spell. What am I supposed to do?!

Also, if I want to stop the spear from going through a certain object, how do I make it stop when passing through/hitting the object?
This is a video of what's happening (homing is activated here, it did no difference though.)

EDIT: Included youtube link.

simple solution, make the missile homing. for some reason that works.

It still kills too early!

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

change the cast time... wait that won't work... hmm...

your going to have to create a dummy spell. one that does no damage but shows visuals, another that instantly triggers after which kills.

I have another problem as well, the spell hit targets it doesnt even touch...
https://youtu.be/SzRnV5I4M2o recorded a little video showing what I mean. You can see it's a total miss but still kills. Why is this? How do I solve all these problems !

You have made the area too large, even thou the art is the same size, the area of detection is massive.

 

[Aphystic]

exactly correct, thanks m8!

I recommend you trigger the whole thing. Shockwave, as well as War Stomp, are pretty awful spells to use a base for. They cause terrain deformations that can crash the map.

The problem was the final area was absolutely massive. You would probably find it even hitting units behind the caster at the end.

Can you please explain the map crashing thingy?

If terrain deformations drop the terrain below minimum height the game will crash. This may also apply to raising above minimum height but fortunately I have never seen a map do this.

So if you have a map with the default cliff level at 0, then the war stomp will crash the game? You mean maximum?

With cliff level 0 (-2) and ground height 0. Default ground height (in game 0) is 8192 and cliff level 2.

Maximum height is cliff level 16 (14) and ground height 16383.

I knew what the problem was :3 it was already solved by the time I saw it, so I figured I'd come in with a suggestion that can improve it. Thank you for explaining to him the map crash thing though.
