Spell Problem

[you_*astard]

I need to make a spell to make a Catapult shoot its projectile to a random spot between two points(of range) and do a set amount of damage in the area it hits. But im not sure how i could rig that up could anyone help?

 

[Just_Spectating]

for the range, you order the catapult to fire to a distance of random number between (whut ever you want the closest point to fire and the farthest) e.g. 300 and 1000

for damage, you could add a random amount of damage increase item abilities to the catapult

How about something like this:

• Catapult
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Your Unit
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Your Spell
    • (Random integer number between 300 and 1000) Equal to (Integer A)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 500.00 at Space_Attack[(Integer A)], dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Siege and damage type Normal

The only variable is "Space_Attack" which is a Point.

Hope this helps.

Cool, glad I could help.

Does the interger Do anything? in the trigger

Yeah, the integer 300-1000 is the range, edit that.

If you don't understand, the integer is set to designate the point. The point is randomly placed somewhere in that 300-1000 range in front of the casting unit.

Probably some how, but I'm not acquainted with any possible ways that that can be done...

 

[you_*astard]

Aye thanks Though this will really help bring my map to life with siege units(Which it pretty much runs on using em )

you want it to shoot forward in a random spot? just make the Space_Attack part of the action have an offset add a random angle from facing of triggering unit - 80 and facing of triggering unit + 80
