multi-shot abilities are bassed of the human ability 'barrage', its really not very hard to do either, or, give your tower a bounce attack, or phoenix fire (just change the cooldown to match your tower)

As said, the ability Barrage is used for firing multiple missiles. This ability is used by the Siege Engine of the Alliance.

To know more about this, here is this useful link for you: Multiple Shot Ability by SD_Ryoko in world-editor-tutorials.net.

while on this subject, i have seen several maps with abilities that autotarget a given amount of nearby enemies and deal a certain amount of damage. if this isn't trigger based (i'm assuming it either isn't or is simple to do) could somebody tell me what ability it's actually based off of? help would be great

one really easy way would be to attack one random unit which comes within x range of your unit with a forked lightning
So it would be trigger based, but pretty easy

i'm sorry for not clarifying, but i didn't mean something passive like phoenix fire. i mean you click the button to use the spell, and if it was set to hit five units, it hits five (or less) units for the damage it is set to deal. no targeting anything, just click and it will instantly go to hit the five nearest enemies.

possibility 1: warstomp with limited damage so it can just hit 5 units
possibility 2: you create a non targetable ability as a dummy
Then you take this ability as an event on a trigger
Create a unitgroup of all those units within x range of your casting unit and hit x random units with your damage spell.
You need a caster dummy that casts some nuke on the targeted units

If you can't do such a trigger and if you really need it i can do it for you

i don't plan on needing one in the immediate future, i was actually just wondering. i should be able to make one myself without too much trouble, but i wouldn't trust it to be leak-proof at all (GUI FTW). thanks for the offer, though
