Missile Arcs

07-26-2004, 09:46 PM

I'm creating a spell where a caster casts a abilty at a unit.
At level 1 two fireballs come out from him and arcs to the left and right
at level 2 theres three and so on.
Like this:

Code:

       - ------- 
     /             \
X /                 Y
    \               / 
     -------------

Where X is Caster and Y is Target.
I've though for a while and i can't really figure out a way to do this,
arcing them up and down is no problem, but eh well.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. If posted this in the AI/JASS Vault since the most probable is a JASS calculation (i think). I'll be posting it in the Trigger Heaven aswell-

PitzerMike	It's indeed not possible with ordinary missiles I guess. You would have to do a loop that calculates the positions the missile follows and creates and destroys special effects there We've already done such things to create nice effects, I think you can find a test map by searching for something like "moving special effect"

Pheonix-IV	Vex actually made a spell (its on wc3sear) which does just this, it makes 2 "fire blasts" arc out towards the target.
