simple question.... BUT I CAN'T FIND THE ANSWER!!!

alright, I'm starting to get reeeaaalllly frusterated now. I'm simply trying to find an ability that just throws a missle at a point, and it has area of effect. It's just like impale, but it's using a missle and it doesn't send the unit up in the air. I've already tried a custom impale (doesn't work)... and all these other ones

can someone just tell me an ability that can be modified into... like a grenade launching thing? like the caster shoots a missle and when it explodes, it has area of effect.

btw, how do i modify the targeting art thingy? Like blizzard/flame strike has a big circle indicating its area of effect and impale has just a targeting pointy thingy.

thanks guys

For the grenade launching ability you can edit storm bolt so it has a missle arc and change the area of effect fields from 0 to whatever.

No, you can't.

You could modify Frost Nova or Acid Bomb to do an AoE in a radius around a unit, or Blizzard, Rain of Fire, Healing Spray, Flamestrike, or Death and Decay for AoE damage within a reticle (the targeting-area thingy).

Alternatively, you can make a custom ability using Channel as the base and just triggering the damage that you want.

If you want to use a spell that doesn't use the projectile field, you can give the unit a Sphere ability with the Projectile field of that set to what you want the spell's projectile to be.

WOW thanks a buuunnnch guys, I wuv u all <3 (well, you know what I mean)

omg it still doesn't work! The missle doesn't show!!
and how do I change the target thing? I don't want the frost nova target thing to have to target SOMEONE, I want it to target a place (like blizzard)
thanks

I had this problem myself, theres an easy answer: Cluster Rockets! Change the missle to 1 missle, change arc, art etc. and change the damage, buff and duration. Done!

But there is one tiny problem, if the caster moves before the missle hits its target, the damage will not be delt. So you cant "shoot and run"!

Good'ol cluster rockets! But cluster has splash!

Thats what he wants!

If you stun a unit for 0.00, it will be stunned permanently, and if you stun it for 0.01, it will still cancel any channelled or cast-delayed abilities, which makes it not ideal for a non-stunning AoE damage spell.

So change the buff to one that does nothing.

Uh, that doesn't work.

EDIT: Look, all the Buff does is decide what art is displayed. It has no bearing whatsoever on the effect of the spell that uses it.
