Arrow Spell

How hard would it be to make an arrow go through multiple targets?

Perhaps base it off Shockwave?

well,you could or make it based off of a dummy arrow unit with immolation or triggered damage. Shockwave might be more trouble to time properly

Shockwave leaves an ugly imprint as it goes. You can use Carrion Swarm and cap it correctly, but that's a hassle. If you mean like an arrow spell, you could try Vorpal blades, Storm Hammers, or Orb of Annihilation. Otherwise, use a dummy caster with shockwave/carrion swarm

thanks I'll try it

I tried Carrion Swarm, It worked fine, I just needed to change the art, and Now I need to tweak it a little, figure out good damage.

There was another part that I thought of when I was thinking of this spell, but i can't figure out how to add it. What I was thinking of was a Black Arrow that goes through multiple units. (It will only have the Black arrow part at level 3. But the summoned unit thing doesnt show up under the object editor for my custom spell. I want to, somehow make all the units that die from it at level 3 turn into Dark Minions. Any ideas?

EDIT: It's not really a neccessity, but is it possible to make it so it doesnt stop at the targeted unit? Because I just realized if you target the first one in the row it stops there...Its not that big of a deal, I could just change the description to Something Like "Attacks target unit, damaging everything in its path"... thanks

re

Just another idea.. u could base it off the glaive throwers Vorpal Blade which already does that. :)

Hmm... Get a dummy unit, order it to move towards the region, check any units which enter into the range of the original dummy unit, and order a dummy unit to cast Black arrow on each unit affected. This will have fixed damage tho... Good luck!
