% chance to multishot?

I was wondering whether it was possible to make an ability that gave a % chance for the unit to fire twice. Ive done a few tests with the barrage and lightning orb abilities but it didnt seem to work for me. I could probably do it with triggers, but im sure there should be a way to get lightning orb and barrage working in tandem. Could someone else try this and see if they can get it to work?

Well first off do you know how to do mutlishot? i aint gonna explain it here but look around and you will find teh triggers for it. Then just use a if/then/else statement that runs the multishot trigger only if a random integer between 1 and 100 is <= 33( 1/3 chance for crit shot).

Yea, and yea I was hoping to see if there was a possibility of it happening w/ out triggers, just checking to c if i wasnt doing something wrong.

A Orb of Slow/Orb of Lightning ability that's got a % chance to cast Forked Lightning would simulate a multishot.

Yet, that uses Lighting effects, rather then missiles, doesn't it?

Indeed, it does.

That map has an ability to multishot, and it works really good too. Try it out, you might find it useful.

Heh, that maps pretty cool, espcially that final auto rockets thing. The spells'triggers are a when goblin attacks, add barrage sorta thing. Using lightning orb and forked is a good idea thou

Forked lightning can use missiles...

orlly?


:(

Edit: I just tried it. No it can't.
