I want a unit who shots lightning attack ability bouncing (like chain lightning but in all all attacks). I can get the bounce work but the lightning attack doesnt show. I tried to make a chain lightning without damage and make it use chain lightning each time the unit attacks but then u can use chain lightning when the unit doesnt attack. Can I hide the chain lightning button or make the unit use a real chain lightning when you right click? ://// |

Don't know if this would work exactly how you want (sounds like this is what you want...) Make a new ability based of "Orb of Slow" ABILITY (not the item), change the spell being cast to chain lightning, change "attacks enabled" to 0, and change the % chance to hit to 100, then give the ability to your unit. 1. becuase its an Item ability and you didn't mess with the icon = No Icon 2. because its 100% chance the unit will use it on EVERY attack 3. It will be using regular chain lightning, so you may want to lower the damage the unit naturally does. |

I dont really understand what u mean... Does he attack with chain lightning when u right click or automatically then? |

When you character attacks, he shoots a bolt of chain lightning as he does it... I think. |

make a new glaive attack ability, make it an item abilty *yes no icon* so whenever it attacks the lightning bounces if there are any units nearby. Think of huntresses :ggani: |

My way makes the unit use the chain lightning EVERY TIME it attacks, the only time it won't is if the unit its attacking is immune to magic (If its ordered to attack by right clicking, or if it just saw an enemy and decided to attack does not matter.) |

I think i can help you but i need you to answer a few qustions for me first. When the chain lightning is used, is it when the unit does a normal attack? Or is it only after you activate some special ability that causes the unit to add chain lightning to it's attack? Will this be a Hero or just a normal unit? Will there be more than one type of unit that can use this abitlity? Do you want the Chain lightning to be a usable ability? Will the chain light ning do any damage or do you just want the special effect associated with it? Ant more info you can give will be useful as well |

It is a normal unit (not hero) and I dont really care how the chain lightning works. I want the it be visible like a chain lightning each attack but it is best if the chain lightning doesnt deal any damage and a normal attack does that. I wanted to use bouncing chimera lightning projectile with the lightning attack ability from the beginning but the lightning attack ability didnt show. |

On unit part of object editor, set the attack art for chain lightning. Then set the attack type to missle(bounce), then make attack speed to a very high number. You should do fine from there. |

well i can make the unit use chain lightning but i cannot make the chain lightning hit the same units as the bounce. i can however, make the chain lightning do damage to the units and your huntress will have an attack damage of 0. Unfortunatley i can't seem to get the damage to work on magic immune units at this point. EDIT. Dark Revenat That only adds the lightning effect to the projectile. i assume he wants the whole effect where it connects all the units together. Am i right? |
