Any suggestions on a good ability? I need it for a attack ablity, like Firebolt witouth the stun.

It shouldn't:
  • Make any sound.
  • Have any effects that not possible to remove.
  • Give any buffs.
  • Have any stuns.
  • Have anything that gives duration.
  • Not go straight to the target(Like Acid Bomb)
  • Be Area targeting
  • Only be able to target certain units(like undead)
  • Be auto-cast

acid bomb is the closest

There is no perfect abilities.
Sound can be removed always (or changed to another)
Effects can be removed too.

Oh and describe more what ability you want to make exactly.

Acid bomb wont work, I dont go directly to the target, it "jumps" to it.
I think Shadow Strike is the best, though it makes that laugh sound when it hits.
Anyway to remove that?

Isn't there some field with sound? Hmm if not then probably sound is linked with model

No cause I changed the model to fireball and it still makes the sound

Really sucks that blizzard didnt even make this kind of ability, sure I could trigger it and use channel but I hate to trigger projectiles.

you are looking in the wrong place, the laughing sound is caused by the buff model.. i think

Well Ive removed the buff, still makes the sound.

no it's not that, first see if you can find the path for the laugh sound and then override it with an mute sound (I know oxymoron)

Well couldnt find it in Game Interface.
where else could it be if its not hardcoded?

EDIT:
I dont have any mpq opener, could anyone check if they could find the path of it?
and would it work with just import an empty .txt file to override it?

Just give firebolt 0.01 stun or something, should mess it up to bad.

Well It would still stop channeling abilities (and order to if I remember right)

Tim.
Sound Manager will show you the path.

Ah I forgot about that. Shadow seems like your best bet.
