I'm creating a spell simmiliar to Bladestorm, but want to make it spew axes everywhere. I dont really have too many bright ideas, was wondering if one of you did. I want to make it so that axes spew out from the center of the casting unit and random times and fly to random places, and if they strike a unit, it will deal dammage to the unit.

Are you asking how to do it or if anybody has suggestions for it? It seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to make, but it's unclear why you mentioned doing it. In other words, what do you want from this community?

I've never used it, but I bet you can find most of what you need in the Caster System.
I guess what I would try is dummy units casting carrion swarms with the axe as a model.
Maybe fan of knives does what you want?

Or just extract the spinning bladestorm bit from the Blademaster and geomerge a few axes. That might be easier in the long run.

I did try fan of knives, i know it is a subclass of another spell, i cannot find that spell in the Issue Order part of Unit Actions. I did try dummy spells, but didnt take it very far. I guess I could give it another try, ill post trigger tabs when i'm done.

Create a dummy unit at the location of the caster for the duration of the spell. Then play the animation you want him to be playing.

Make a custom shockwave or carrion swarm based spell with an axe projectile art(like the troll berserker projectile art).

Have a trigger add the spell to the dummy, with 0 mana cost 0 cooldown.

For the duration of the ability have a second trigger force the dummy unit to target random points in an AOE the range from the caster you want the spell to have, and cast the spell at them.

Simple enough, I have a spell in my map similar to that, only it causes targeted explosions instead of shooting axes.

There is a good tornado system at wc3sear.ch, try searching for it, you can make an Axestorm with it it, very simple.
