Hello. I wanna make a dragon unit on my map. I want the Dragon to attack as a flamethrower. In other words I want it to have a constant attack which also deals splash-damage, kinda like the Orc Flamethrower unit. (That can be found in the editor) Any tips on how to do this? Thanks. |

One easy way is to give the unit faster attackspeed and lower the damage, Its just an easy way though and might not be what you want. |

Giving it a Missile - Line weapon type might also help... |

attach this: Objects\Spawnmodels\Other\FlameThrower\FlameThrowerSpawnObj.mdx to the dragon's head when he attacks |

Thanks for all your answears. But I do have one more question that I forgot to mention. I would like the Dragon to have an attack that reduces the targets armor by 5. I use the "Orb of corruption" skill for this, and the skill works fine. But it only reduces the armor for one unit, not for all units covered in the splash-damage. Is it possible to make a splash-attack that reduces armor for all units attacked? |

You could make an Orb of Lightning that casts the Acid Bomb skill set to the same AoE radius as your damage. |

Thats sounds good. But how is the trigger for that? |

No trigger. The Orb of Lightning ability actually just has a % chance to cast a unit-target spell on striking. Acid Bomb is such a spell. Set the % chance to 100%. |

"The Orb of Lightning ability actually just has a % chance to cast a unit-target spell on striking. Acid Bomb is such a spell." What more spells can be used in the same way? |

Use QUOTE tags instead of " " next time ;] Spells that can be used - you answered it yourself - unit-target spell, so slows, curses, cripple, coil etc. |
