Split Shot--- How to?

[AlphaChicken]

How do i make my hero or unit shoot out multiple arrows like is done in DotA allstars or in various LotRs maps? It shoots out 3/5/7 arrows, but will not shoot more than there are enemies. (kind of like a bouncing attack wont bounce 3 times if there are only 2 enemies) I think its done like bouncing attack is, but i dont know how to make it do separate arrows instead of one that bounces.

I didn't get that. If there isn't more than 2 enemies the bounce attack will only hit that two enemies. Can you be more specific?

theres a split shot spell in the spell section. it was meant for a competitio and it runs on GUI. try searching for it.

Use Siege Engine's Barrage, it should solve the problem.
I tell you, most of DotA's ability merely just object editor change with less trigger. Don't think about it so hard.

Use Siege Engine's Barrage, it should solve the problem.

But Barrage deals a specific amount of damage doesn't it? Then the extra targets will won't get the same damage as the heroes' primary target. It is possible to calculate the damage from by the heroes atributes by checking the Gamplplay Costants but still it will not work with the extra damage from items an such. I suggest you use Vexoiran's Multiple Shot.

Barrage works

OMFG OMFG OMFG!!!! barrage does work, set the maximum damage to 0 so it will always deal the damage of your hero, and make it deal 0 extra damage, problem solved?!??! i think so.

wouldnt setting the damage to 0 just show the projectiles but dont do any damage at all?
