Making Ziggurat 'Bolt' 'Bounce' like moonglave?

*points at topic title*

How can I do this?
I copied the ability and upgrade from the moonglave and put them into: bouncy lightning (for lightning towers in a td map).

I made it so that it costs 200g at a building.

At lightning tower i see the icon disabled and enabled when bought.

But it just dont work... :(

The 'lightning' (lightning that normally comes out of ziggurat, now comes out of lightning tower) doesn't bounce...


Anyone got a solution for this?

I'm not sure if this works, but look under the 'Upgrades Used' and add your moon glaive ability there.

Hey man i just went through thsi problem and figured it out, go to attack type and change ti from missile to missile (bounce), and set the towers areaeffect(fulldamage) to however far the bounce will go like 200 or something, then go to combat-maximum targets and make it mroe than 1 and thats how many times it will bounce. if thsi helps u out howabout hhokin me up with some rep points? ^_^

But that gives bounce even without upgrade...

As i see it you want to make a tower that is ordener but when you make an upgrade it has bounce, right?
Well if so, then you should just check the "upgrades" in the object editor, there is the Upgrade Moon Glaves and it has "Data - Efect 1 - Attack Target Count Bonus - Base 1"
and you should just change the "1" to the number you want.

Been there, done that.

Still doesn't work...

Hmmm i duno then.
Maby you can just make that tower to upgrade into anothere tower that has bounce ^_^

As far as I know the "moon glavie" upgrade increases the number of times a "bounce" bounces. So, if you set it that by default it bounces 0 times, then it will be the same as if it doesn't bounce at all. Then, after the upgrade is researched, the wapon can begin bouncing.

sharq did u even test my solution or did you just assume that it gives bounce without the upgrade?, as i said I JUST WENT THROUGH THIS, and I FIGURED IT OUT. do my instructions then give your tower the ability, it will only hit 1 target until the ability is researched and then it will bounce to multiple targets.

Read the posts before pliz.
Becouse i sad apolutly the same thing!

No, you didn't "sad apolutly" the same thing. You said a tower should upgrade into another tower (like in BlizzardTD), I said a tower could use an upgrade (something researched at another building) to boost it's attack, while remaining the same tower. The difference is that in your case, you have to upgrade each tower individually, in my case you just research one upgrade and all your towers get a bonus.

If you are refering to this comment:
Then I didn't say the exact same thing as well. I was speaking about the same general idea, true, but after SharQueDo said it didn't work for him, I pointed out that perhaps the unit should by default have number of bounces set to 0, something you didn't mention.

to make it bounce without an upgrade set it's main attack type to Missile (Bounce) or something with bounce with it, and set the area of effect (full) to determinate where the ziggurate bolt can travel, if you set it to 1000 the bolt can bounce great distances.
just make the attack bouncy and change the area of effect, also change number of targets, no upgrades needed, the upgrade was only used for the huntress as the ballista have an implaling bolt
