This spell was made by me, but it was taken out of a request of someone else.

so i guess i should credit him..

Credits to:

Devalut - took me something about the 15 mins to find his name.. so XD

Pharaoh_ - made the "quick" try of it.. its now made a diff way.. but sure.. :p

Hope you'll like this system.

Update: adding some trees, to show effect of destructibles, and added another option to change the destructible's damage dealt.

Unit* - Cause (Picked unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing (500.00 - (Distance between (Position of (Picked unit)) and TimeBombLocation)) damage of attack type Incantesimi and damage type Normale
Cause (Picked unit)? why not Caster?:p

could put the damage is reduced automatically depending on the distance
nice:)

  • Unit - Cause (Picked unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing (TimeBombDamage[0] - (Distance between (Position of (Picked unit)) and TimeBombLocation)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
Leaks a location

  • Set TimeBombLocation = (Position of (Picked unit))
Was never cleared in the loop

  • Destructible - Pick every destructible within BombRange of (Position of (Picked unit)) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Current life of (Picked destructible)) Less than or equal to TimeBombDamage[1]
        • Then - Actions
          • Destructible - Kill (Picked destructible)
        • Else - Actions
          • Destructible - Set life of (Picked destructible) to ((Current life of (Picked destructible)) - TimeBombDamage[1])
Leaks a location, also it can destroy bridges and other type of destructables not only trees. But you can always use an filter for that.

- Spells that require the custom value of a unit are very complicated, since the systems used in most of maps has systems that require it too, which messes up alot of stuff.
- You can do the spell with an expiration timer for the unit and ability "AOE damage upon deaths" from the "Goblin Mines", which too allows you to configure range, damage, delay.
- Many 'bomb' spells are already made, you might want to add some extra effects, like slow or somekind of fire, afterwards when the bomb explodes, or shrapnels for example.
- Lacks a proper screenshot.
