Alrighty, I'm using the Barrage on my towers to let them attack multiple units/towers simultaneously but I'm currently experiencing some bothersome problems. The way I was told Barrage would allow a unit to hit 1 + Maximum number of targets specified. So, the level one tower should hit 2 units and the next level should hit 4. I set the maximum number of targets to 1 and 3 respectively, however instead of attacking 2 and 4 units, it's attacking 3 and 5. What am I doing wrong? |

Well looking from the numbers I have a feeling the "Maximum number of targets" in barrage is excluding the original attack. You know one of those Blizz screw ups common in the editor. |

I've fixed the 4-targets one by setting maximum targets to 2, however setting the other one to 0 did not work. |

Hmm imma go do some testing now. EDIT:I tried using a 2 maximum targets and found it works normally. However it seems to not function when the target is at certain angles form the attacker. I have a feeling its due to adjacent units to the target being out of the attackers range. Maybe extend your towers range abit and try if it works. I also found that settings "Maximum Targets" to 0 seems to allow the attacking of infinite targets. |

I extended the range to be 50 greater than the Barrage's range and there was no change. |

I though the maximum target were at least 3, no matter how low you set the value. It's kinda buggy... Maximum targets : 0 == Infinite Targets Maximum targets : 1 ~ 2 == 3 Targets Maximum targets : 3 ~ n == n+1 Targets That's what i know, no guarantee for being correct. |

Argh, fudge this then. I'll lower the tower's damage by 4 and make the number of targets 3 and 5. EDIT! +Rep to whoever tried to help. |

if i remember correctly using that ability u can hit 3-9 targets total. meaning u have to hit at least 3 but not more then 9 |

Barrage functions like this: A unit gets its normal attack. A unit gains 1 extra attack for having barrage. A unit gains n extra attacks for n "Maximum Targets" except for 0, which means unlimited. aka. Barrage can only have a minimum of 3 targets (1 normal + 1 for barrage and a min 1 for Max targets). |
