Hello, talented people. I am fairly new to map making and when working on abilities and spells I tend to make do with as less use of triggers as possible. However, I have run into a wall by not being able to figure how to make this particular spell.
What I want is to basically take the 'Breath of Frost' (or Breath of Fire) spell, make it deal damage and instead of applying periodic damage, I want it to slow the movement of those it hits. I have been told that it would be best to use triggers, I have also been told that making a 'cone-like' effect is pretty damn complicated. I being a trigger-noob have zero chances of making it work, as such I place myself at the mercy of whoever will find themselves with the kindness and time to help me out.
Things of note : This ability is a Hero ability that has 5 levels, however the area of effect and the slow effect remain constant, the only thing that changes with each Lv-up is the damage dealt which is already done in the Object manager. The only thing that needs done is a trigger that causes the targets to become slowed down when they are hit by the spell.
