I dunno how he did it, but I'd create X number of hidden casters where X is the number of enemies in range and get them to attack one each. Pick Every Unit in Range (value) matching ( IsEnemy AND Alive ) { Unit - Create 1 HiddenCaster at Unit - Position of triggering Unit Order last created unit to cast <spell> at (picked unit) Unit - Remove last created unit } Try it, and let me know if it works. It's in my list of to-do abilities which are getting longer and not getting done :P |

he probably used the fan of knives spell, and edited the effect art to the art of the priestess of the moon projectile art. Fan of knives hits any nearby enemies, if you change the art effect in the ability editor, you could get the desired effect. |

okay the Multiple Arrow Spell from D2..... just use Barrage and edit it to where it hits ground units and change the art to arrow... thats all |

I thought about barrage.. but i dont want it a passive spell i want it a spell thats when u click it it shoots many arrows out... |

okay then..... make a dummy spell, then when the button is clicked have it create a hidden unit right in front of the hero then give that hidden unit Barrage(Multiple Arrow form) and give it a slow attack rate then give it a Timer of like 3secs and put the cooldown of the attack to like 2.50..... i can do the trigger for u if u like just say so... |

Its not based on barage, final. Its a warstomp based spell, which triggers the sorcereress herself casting ice scyth on 3-7 random units owned by the enemies. |

Theres a tiny roar icon thing over her head when she casts it that lasts about half a second, does that help any? |

It's a dummy spell. Basically, the roar doesn't do anything, but a spell based on roar, with the duration, radius and all beneficial effects turned down to zip. Another trigger watches for the casting of that roar-based ability and creates units to attack/cast spells on nearby enemies. Incidently, that's a very useful technique to learn how to do. Why don't you give that a shot? I'm sure you could search the forums if you get stuck, and it's a great way to make customized, trigger based spells. |
