Mass Tornado Spell

[Octopor]

I want to make a spell that basically spawns tornadoes from a hero and they speed across they map to attack all enemy heroes.

How would I do this?

You could make several units that know Storm Bolt, making sure they have the ability Locust as well (and they have no model so that they are not shown), with a cast range of 99999. Then use triggers to order them to move to the location of the hero and cast Storm Bolt on each enemy hero. Modify the missile art to be the tornado.*

Thanks, I'll try that right now.

Or you could just do a Fan of Knives that sends out a Tornado and has a range of 999999.

Sometimes x42, not all spells are solved by trigger.

That would probably be easier. ^.^;;

It should work, just set Missile Art to Tornado and make the speed good enough to see the tornado and not take like 10 minutes to smack an enemy hero.

Don't forget. All levels must have Enemy, Hero as your target.

FoK wouldn't hit all enemy heros unless they're close, the farther the knives go, the more spread apart they become, leaving a much wider space for the heroes to not get hit in. If you want it to always hit every hero and not have the lag/delay of the tornadoes shooting out, you have to solve byt riggers. Not everything does no, but it makes things better, work more properly, not all choppy and half-assed because you're too lazy to do it the correct way.

But if you wanted the Tornado to 'lift' the units up, as in Cyclone, you would need to use the triggers. Fan of Knives does not have that ability, nor even the ability to stun.

-Frank :cool

Actually, not true, there are two effects for Fan of Knives, one that works as a spray to show that the spell works, and one for the actual target (one that extends to the target). This is the one that is important, and you only need to increase the radius of the knives, and it will hit the single target.*

That is because teh animation of Fok does that, we are using tornados as the Art - Missile Art not spreading knives. Spreads only apply to spells like Shockwave, Carrion Swarm and Crushing Wave.
