Waveform type spell

[Space_Ship]

Hi im currently trying to make a waveform type spell to where its a target type ability like shockwave and u use it and it moves u forward over a few seconds or a second or so doing damage in the aoe u moved through. I figure to do this you use 'Shockwave' as a dummy ability and then some triggering but my triggering buggs out. Anyone got any good methods for this?

So basically like Magnus' skewer spell in DotA?

There's a Dual Waveform spell in the Spell section, you can give a look at it.

I just looked for it

Magnus skewer sorta but not the drag effect.. morphlings waveform would be more correct if you know that skill.

Look for a tutorial on how to do a knockback type spell, that might give you an idea on how to trigger the movement. And btw, i wouldn't make the dummy spell be the one that gives the damage, you should trigger that

Thanks wolfman. Im making a little adventure map for fun for my younger brother and the first hero choice i made for him is based off the fel beast model. I Foundout a way to make it work decent enough for the map so its fine. It doesnt do any damage though and it has a trigger cooldown since the ability is never really activated.

Here, i made the trigs and stuff for you, map attached.
it does dmg too, you can just use shockwave for your purposes. Just make sure the missile speed = 100*(offset/3)
offset being the variable in the init trig, and missile speed is a value for the shockwave spell in object editor
changing the offset variable will change the speed that you move forward
and maxdist is just the maximum distance you go before stopping

Btw, this isnt MUI, so only one unit on the map can use the spell at a time without it malfunctioning
