Well, it's not really my first spell, just the first one I submitted here. Thanks though

do you have to do those triggers to make the spell work?

Yes. In order to easily copy the triggers from one map to another, go into your World Editor, select File-->Preferences-->General-->check the box Automatically Create Unknown Variables When Pasting Trigger Data. Then, it is simply a matter of copying and pasting the triggers into your map. Of course, you also need to copy the custom objects (Manyshot z, Manyshot, Manyshot Hidebook) from the Object Editor. And that's it!

wait can we just copy the triggers from here? no that sounds too easy... importing stuff is usually a pain.

You can, but I think importing is easier in this case. Just do what I said and check "automatically create unknown variables" and importing is a cinch.

i think i found a bug?

Had all 3 archers use the spell, one of them died the 2nd has it at 6 and is attacking six units, the 3rd no matter how many times i cast the spell for her and no matter how close i was to the mobs (for barrage's AoE) still only fired 1 arrow even though your floating text said six.

I may be wrong however, but i was like 'what the heck?'

I'll look into it.

Edit: Okay, I have not been able to replicate this alleged glitch. Can you send me a replay, maybe? In fact, if anyone can send me proof of a glitch I'll +rep them and fix the glitch immediately.

Ok i got it in my map ok... now how would i make it into a hero ability with alot of levels? Is it in the triggers? I have yet to grasp custom spells and how they work.
Custom spells are so confusing.

Depends. What do you want each level to do?

Hmm, it worked fine on your map, but I can't import it correctly -.-

I copied the trigger data, and the ability+ buff, still can't get it to work
It shows up, but when clicked it doesn't work, and no numbers show up (it works on test map, so I know what to expect )

I'm a completely newbie at this,

Can you give me a simple step by step instructions on what to do? (I'm just playing around the default maps, making custom heros for my own amusement, tested out a lot of files here, only got a few to work...no problem editing the default/custom, it's getting them to work in a map that's the problem, got 7 out of 34 I tried working... -.-). I did read the tutorial on the site, but I can't get this to work...

Thanks for help!

Step 1) If you haven't already, go into your World Editor, select "File --> Preferences --> General --> Automatically create unknown variables when pasting trigger data." This makes copying triggers much easier.
Step 2) Copy the custom abilities and buffs from the map (Basically, everything that's Pink. Don't forget the buff, not just the abilities)
Step 3) Copy the triggers from the map.

You're done!

ok let me say i love the skill. i just have a question, is it really nessecary to have the "Hidebook" skill? reason i ask is the character i plan to use this on (yes credit will be given, although the map is just a rework of warchasers) has a spellbook skill and right now the "Hidebook" portion is causeing some issues. can anyone help me here?

Just noticed that if you have critical strike on a character and you crit it disables the skill. also auto casts (like searing arrows) and things like envenomed weapons dont spread to the other targets. anyone have any idea of how to fix that with out using jass? if its not possibile let me know.

 

[Ignorance]

I have the same question as Demon-300, is it possible for orbs, crit or bash to work? :/
Or would i have to trigger orb effects?

actually that's not all..
sometimes WE screws the triggers up...
when you have a Condition like the one below...

• Conditions
  • Ability Being Cast Equal to Progressive Manyshot

and you try to transfer it to other maps it might change the trigger to something like this...

• Conditions
  • Ability Being Cast Equal to Fireball

I usually have this problem when i copy paste triggers on my map

anyway this spell is pretty good 5/5
