[Trigger] To make a advanced line

[Mrblackmystery]

Hello,

I am kind of average at Wc3 Map Editor and I have a little question..
I want to make a spell which hits targets in a line but there's supposed to explosions like on the way to the target area that the player targeted if you understand....

If anyone plays DotA there's a hero named Earthshaker which uses a line ability. But I don't want the whole line to come instantly I want like the line to explode on the way to the targeted area.

It's very hard to explain and I wish I could show you somehow but I hope you understand.

Thanks.

Use a dummy and a periodic trigger.
Move the dummy there, and detect every time it passes 100-200 units.
When it occurs, create some SFX, damage units nearby, etc.

Thanks! But about the dummy; can I take like a footman and just remove model and then use that as a dummy?

Yes, you can. But it will still be selectable. The key things to add are "Locust" and "Invulnerable (Neutral)" as abilities. There are also a few other things you may want to change, just in case:

That should help you choose what fields to change.

I just made this spell when I had some boring time...
I used Perma Imol for damaging area, although you can use Unit Group for damage, I'd rather not =D

Don't bother about the name of the spell and its tooltips
Actually, that test map has been edited a little, just to suit your needs in this case =D
It should create a trail of fire, if you've played Batrider before, in DotA, you know it =D
