Creating Exorcism Spell

I want to make a spell exactly like Exorcism, but i cant find how i can target Undead Units. Anyone know. Oh yeh, its cant be based off Holy Light/Death Coil for it heals ur units, which effects the damage (1/2). Must i use triggers for allowed targets?

First, if you want it to target undead only, you'll want to jsut make it unit classification (to make this easy)So..

First, make all of the units that you want to be affected, either the class Ancient and Undead. (under unit classification)

Next, I would use Frost Nova (usually, exorcism targets multiple units) or if you only want it to be a single unit, change the area affect to 0. Make it target only enemy, and ancient (and depending on whether it's ground or not). Change any dmg specifics you want, including range and what-not to whatever. The spell with only affect units with the "Ancient" classification, which should only be given to the units in question.

The frost nova affect (ice rising from the ground with a small burst of cold) can be replaced in the art area, probably with something that looks like a heal spell. If you want to make effects happen on the targets, put in a art efect for "Art- Target", then change the "Art-Attachment Point" to target.

This will be a hero ability, but you can make it a unit's ability by using the neutral hostile version.

You should by now have an Exorcism effect, I would hope.

Good luck with Map Making! :foot:

i got a "turn undead" spell in one of my maps.. no idea how i made it, i'll search it.. i didnt use heavy triggering, just a spelledit

if everything fails, you could put all non-undead units to ancients and then make the spells target "non-ancient" or something like this

edit: or make all undead units "summoned" and then dispel-spells

Didn't I just say that? :ggani:

I made it frost nova to make it easier, including less hassle with art, targeting and such. Plus the frost nova has the area affect right off the bat, without spell editor (which is pretty difficult to use casually)

The turn undead spell can be done with an aura actually.

Under "Neutral Passive" abilities, you'll see the "Building Damage Aura" with a little question mark next to it. The tornado damages buildings around it, but this could be changed to target "Ancient" units, which would be undead. It does damage by the second, being perfect for "Turn Undead". You would have to change the art stuff, like icon, art for the aura itself (prolly something small, like the healing salve art, small glitteries) and make that target origin.

I hope this answers your needs. Good luck! :foot:

i pressed reply before your posting was ready^^

Yeh, thats what i based it off of, Frost Nova. And thanks about the idea of making him an ancient.
