[Spell] Summon Creature from missle

[Grauser]

Just wondering. I need a spell fire at location to spawn a unit. I was thinking about infernal spell, but thats not good - no missle art. Pocket Factory is really good, but it creates a ground for buildings. Any other idea's?

P.S. If trigger - how shoudl i do it correct?

So you just want to spawn a unit with one effect? Is the effect a missle that will travel from the caster to the targeted point, or will it spawn instantly at the targeted point? The latter will be a lot easier and won't even require the spell to be MUI since it is instant. The former is also easy, but will require a loop and for the spell to be MUI.

Not instant - its unacceptable!

The former is also easy, but will require a loop and for the spell to be MUI.

So how to do it?

You can still use Inferno. To give it a missile art, add an ability based on Sphere to the caster using the missile art that you want (this will, however, cause the same missile for any other target abilities).

My hero is melee. And as you said missile art for all other abilities is - unacceptable =)

To get around it, you can spawn a dummy unit who has that sphere ability and then have it cast the "real" inferno. Your hero's spell will just be a dummy placeholder used for triggering the real thing.

HM... Thats kinda interesting idea. I will try it today thx you)

Is it not possible to modify pocket factory's ground art? What about giving the caster the sphere ability with triggers as he starts casting and then removing it?

To think this is super easy in StarCraft II where it is demonstrated by the Raven...

I think it is extremely easy with triggers, but using normal abilities, it is also relatively easy to achieve.
Create dummy unit, give dummy unit both Sphere and Inferno, order dummy to cast inferno.

Hmm... do I hear an echo in here?
