Barrage Question

What exactly does the "Damage Dealt" field do? It doesn't seem to affect the damage dealt at all, the damage it does seems to be the unit's damage - is it just another of the endlist list of fields that blizzard put in but do nothing?

Also, I don't suppose there's a way of making the missiles only come out from certain angles? (ie. only within 90 degrees of the angle the unit's facing)

Well... 1) don't know 2) haha no there is no way sorry...

2) Of course there is. However only if you trigger it.

well, you can't modify so barrage shots shoot in 90* degree

Triggering would be damn hard, if only because you'd have to get the damage correct for the unit including items etc. Basically, the reward wouldn't be worth the effort.

The trigger would take all of 5 minutes. Make a check if unit has this ability, then check every 1 second, if unit within 90 degrees, attack from dummy unit.

Not exactly - It would be Unit attacks: - check if unit has ability, if its within 90 degrees attack from dummy unit. However - rightclick-stop spam = infinite barrage attacks, if that could be overcome, there's the problem of making the dummy unit do the same damage as the regular unit.

a barrage that shoots in a certain degree is called cleave, isnt it? -_-

and i believe damage dealt is the damage that the extra missiles fired extra to your original attack missile deal. barrage does not effect your normal attack, neither does your normal attack effect barrage. (well, only speed ofcourse)

Cleave is affected by normal attack...

cleave is, barrage isnt.

yyy barrage is affected I think by 2nd attack. Look at siege tank

(writing in hurry...)

Well, I changed damage dealt on barrage to 0, and it did roughly the damage of the unit firing it, i then changed the damage to 9999, and it did roughly the damage of the unit firing it...The unit had no secondary weapon. I think damage dealt might be for if the unit's only attack is barrage, or it used to be the damage dealt but blizzard changed it
