Diablo II's Blizzard Spell

You know when the Sorceress uses her Blizzard spell, random ice thingy's fall to the ground and hit in that designated area? Well, is that possible in Warcraft as well?

I don't think the Blizzard we all know of in Warcraft 3 will help, becuase that hits all over the AOE.

I'm pretty certain you would have to use a triggered spell to create that effect. Create a spell that has the icon, mana cost, cooldown, range, etc. that you want, but doesn't actually have an effect. Set a trigger to watch for that spell being cast, and have the trigger do the actual random generation, visible effects, and damage.

Rain of Chaos.

I hadn't thought of that, but yeah, you could change the animation for rain of fire and set the duration on the infernals it summons to 0.01, and that would probably have the effect you want.

Oh, never thought of Rain of Chaos. Thanks a lot!

Rain of Chaos? maybe, but modified starfall will do the trick better.

Where the hell in the did you manage to pick up *that* silly idea?

Starfall works NOTHING like the DII blizzard, except possibly that it involves objects falling down from above.

D2 Blizzard:
Targets an area away from the caster.
Can miss.
Is not channeled.

Rain of Chaos:
Targets an area away from the caster.
Can miss.
Is not channeled.

Starfall:
Doesn't target an area away from the caster.
Can't miss.
Is channeled.


That post of yours has to be just about the worst pice of misinformation I've read here in... err... days.
