[Spell] Spell that hits units in line!

[Allain55X]

Hello hivers! I have a problem creating a great spell. It is a spell based on shockwave. In the trigger I have this....like:

Unit - Cause "Caster" to damage "Target", dealing 50x hero damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal

NOTE: Words with this sign " " are variables

So I have this, so Im expecting when testing, it will hit ALL units in line but when tried, it only hits the first enemy in line and the other no..... SO how should I do a trgger that hits all units in a line.

You should trigger the shockwave missile itself and cause the hero to deal damage to enemy units that collide with the missile. That is how you should do it.

Can you show it in trigger?

Uh. I'll explain how to do it in more detail if that helps?

You need a dummy unit with the model of the missile you want. You create this on cast and store it into a variable. In some other trigger that runs periodically (say every 0.04s), you move it at a certain angle (at point offset by). In this trigger you also do a 'pick every unit within 500 range of missile' and then do deal the damage in that. I might write it up in GUI later for you, but I really doubt it. Maybe someone else can show you how it's done? Alternatively take a look at this, it may help you.

How will he detect the hero's damage?

Short answer is you can't.

 

[Lambdadelta]

Oh right. I skimmed through and though that it was an attribute of the hero or something. You could detect the damage by using a dummy hero with same items, abilities, etc. but it is probably dodgy and inaccurate. So yeah, sorry for not properly readin haha.

You could use Hero Level and Hero STR and Ability level to set damage, but getting into item, auras, and attack damage bonuses gets fuzzy.

The rest (dealing damage in a line) is pretty easy and has been already explained.

I am not certain if this will work I cant test it right now, but I think that you could detect the hero's damage by creating a dummy unit, casting a illusion spell on the hero, moving the illusion to the dummy and ordering it to attack it, than you simply substract the dummy's current hp from its max hp to get the hero's damage.

OK... I can only understand explanation through showing the actual trigger....pls can someone show a trigger even its not sure?
