With the new Cluster Rockets ability out, I was wondering how it would be possible to convert it as an attack? As in for a regular unit, when it attacks a target, it will fire a volley of rockets much like the spell at a target with the AE effects. Currently, you can use individual rocket graphics, but is it possible to fire a volley? |

Use the slow orb item ability. Change it to 100% chance to cast Cluster Rockets and then give the ability to the hero. (I recommend giving it via triggers) |

Hmm actually is there any way to make it just for regular units? Not entirely sure the slow orb works either... seems that the orb effect only sticks on the target after so no missiles are fired... any specifics on how or other ideas? |

Add a trigger to give and cast the spell every time the unit attacks. It would look like this: Code:
Event: Unit is attacked Conditions: Unit-type of attacking unit = TinkerRocketeer Actions: Add Cluster Rockets to attacking unit Order attacking unit to Tinker Cluster Rocket position of attacked unit Wait 3 seconds Remove Cluster Rockets from attacking unit Cluster Rockets would be a custom spell based off the actual cluster rockets but modified to be a unit spell. |

what a waste of time and triggers, ahaha. Edit the NEW orb of lightning ability, the one that allows you to choose the spell you want to fire, change all the stats ect so it dosnt affect the attack, change the % chance to hit to 100% and change the spell cast to cluster rockets. Thats all you need to do. |

Or maybe Forked Lightning... |

forked lightning what? That post was useless. |

Are you on crack? the orb of lightning / slow, doesn't work on point targeteable skills (unless cluster rockets is unit targeteable?) |

really? It worked for me ^_^ (rolled) |
