Multiple attack

arpha_stormI think this skill is somewhat similar to Geminate Attack from DotA Allstars.

The hero with this skill attacks twice (very fast, just like one attack) once every X seconds depending on the skill level. If you could just get the code for that skill and modify it to make it attack 4 times instead of 2, your problem is solved.

Anyway, I thought of something, but I'm not sure this will work. Create a custom unit: Unit1, Unit2, Unit3.
Set their Attack Cooldowns to something very low, and their projectile arts and attack damage just like the tower you mentioned. Create a trigger that:
If tower attacks, if this has skill, create unit1 in position of attacking unit, order to attack attacked unit, wait ATTACK COOLDOWN seconds, then remove it. Do the same for each Unit[x]. I think this will make the tower attack (showing the projectile) then before it reaches the target, Unit1 will show and attack, remove, Unit2 will show and attack, remove, and finally Unit3 will show and attack, remove. It will look like the unit was attacked 4 times. Of course, the dummy units should have the locust ability and must have no model.

I don't think it will change targets during the cycle though, and if the tower has a very fast aspd, it can attack another unit while the dummy units attack the other unit.


Geminate Attack is really quite a smart ability. It's not trigger enhanced at all.

The spell is based off of Orb of Slow. Instead of the slow ability as the effect, it uses a 0-bonus damage Searing Arrows-based ability. The projectile art and speed match that of the Weaver's basic attack. Therefore, whenever the spell fires (it's set at 100% chance with a 7/6/5/4 sec cooldown), it will target the Searing Arrows which does precisely basic attack damage without any screwups, so long as there is no bonus damage, and it will look like a second attack.

Of course, this only works if you want to do a double attack. As far as more than two, I really am in the dark, as I've been trying to do it myself.

Hope that helped.
