Storm Bolt

How to create stun AoE spell such as Sven's storm bolt ?For those that don't know,it's such as Original's storm bolt,but it's AoE

just change the area of effect setting to what you want. storm bolt have the field but its default values are 0.

that's easy, you can use also the storm bolt ability, pick every unit in the target's position
and make a dummy unit then add the SB to the dummy unit, then cast to every unit
around the target...a simple idea which I cant provide a trigger at the moment...

Nope mckill2009, it's not totally "easy" There's also some advances in that "hammer of Thor"
It needs a system to check if the enemies of caster are saying: "OMG! The hammer is about to stun us!". For a non-lol explain: it needs a system to detect if the dummy is about to reach the target unit (which uses wait or a looping trigger, could cause some non-MUI or leaks) => Bad hammer throw . Else, we could give the dummy ability: "Suicide" and order it to use the ability on the target and check when it dies, we do "Stun"

I don't really have time right now, a "way to do this" come out when i read this and want to "make things easier". Goodluck

P/S: Good to be back, i almost done all the exams

just changing the settings of storm bolt so that it do area of effect damage is easier.

For some reason my WC3 doesnt launch, so i cant test it. But it should work. Use Blizzard or something as base ability.

Location1 and Location2 are Point variables.

^ if do so, it won't be like dota, (the stun comes after the hammer has disappeared, not before)

storm bolt have the area of effect field itself so it is a waste of space to trigger it. my example shows that the ability do have the field but what it requires in order to actually hit all targets in the area of effect i dont know.
