Multi-stacking effects: cold arrow + barrage + psn arrow etc

Well the title explains what i need but:

barrage = multiarrow (like medusas multiarrow in dota)
and its a ranged hero so does anyone know how to if its not possible does anyone know any scripts that i can emulate the effect?

For Barrage:
BrownSnowCreate a new ability for Multiple Shot -In the object editor, make a new custom ability based on the unit ability Barrage.
If you would like a hero skill with levels: -Change the field that says: "Is hero ability" to true.
-Save and restart the editor so it can categorize it properly, and so it shows 'art-icon-research'.
Now lets change Barriage so it works with our unit.
-Make area of effect the same as your units range, so the multiple shot doesn't shoot farther.
-Change the missile speed and missle arc to the same values as your unit.
-Set the desired ammount of damage.
-Remove any techtree requirements used for the ability.
Last, we calculate the number of targets we want.
-Unit already gets 1 for normal attacks.
-Unit already gets 1 for having barriage.
-Unit already gets 1 for the number of targets.
-If you change number of targets to 0, the unit gets a LOT of attacks.
So the minimum number of targets you can have is 3, and the maximum is somewhere around 9. Here is an image of an archer tower with multiple shot.

Give this ability to your unit and it will use it automatically when acquired.

Here's my problem with the Barrage skill being used for Multiple Shot. I put it on my Hero called Ranger and put the number of targets at 1. He only targets one guy per shot now. I put it at 2, and now he targets up to 4 enemies at once. What the heck is going on? Why can't I just get him to target 2 guys only?

Possibly cause theres a max number of targets on barrage (I think it defaults to 3) - Im almost completely sure that there is a field for that
#5
There's only one field for modifiying the number of targets and it's "Maximum Number of Targets". Put it at 1, and he only attacks one enemy. Put it at 2, and he attacks four enemies at once. It's a big jump and I only want him attacking two guys at once and then three once you upgrade the skill.

Barrage itself has a Maximum Number of Targets field, so try playing with that
#7
That's the field I'm talking about.

Okay wtf? your getting abit off the topic, i don't really care about the barrage/multi-shot ability, all i really need is how to stack all those effects i mentioned above...
#9
There's also one for the unit's attack, so try changing that one as well and seeing if it does anything.

And phoenix,
A) this was an extention of the topic
