Requires triggers. The basic idea is a unit is created which acts as the projectile, and then is moved by triggers, checking if it hits something.

... Hmmm, What about using Frost Nova set nearly all fields to zero, except durations and AoE damage to 0.01 and set the target fields to nothing except the enemy and anything else you want, then trigger to stop the casting unit after the spell.

vex's caster system --> projectile part

man i'm starting to love those projectile, i just remake an diablo2 succumbus in my map :D (the annoying flying bitch that fires blood star)

Here's a simple solution that I think should work. Make an ability based off Carrion Swarm and set the model art to whatever you would like. Next, set the maximum amount of targets to 1 (This is the part I'm not sure of). Try it and see if it works.

You could do just what wyrm suggested, but set the "Maximum Damage" field equal to the "Damage" field.
That way once it's hit the first unit, it has already reached the damage cap.
I know for a fact that works.

The issue here is getting the art to *Pewf* when it hits.
You would need the projectile to be a dummy unit with the FX model either attached to its origin or as the model itself.
Then detect when a unit that fits gets nearby, hit it, damage it, remove arrow, add FX, done.

This is how Elimination Tournament does it.

You know, in Archery Tactics the arrow doesn't stop after hitting the target, right? Just Elimination Tournament.
