I'd like to change Void Prison from a single-target spell to an AOE ability, but to be honest I've not got a clue where to start. It seems like it would be a fairly complicated process given spells like Psionic Storm and Fungal Growth have a large number of effects compared to Void Prison with just the one.
Well, though I dont have the editor in front of me, I can give you some pointers. First of all, depending if you want it to be like psi storm or fungal growth, which are different in that fungal growth targets a unit while psi storm targets a point on the ground. If you want to target the ground, you should look at psi storm for the target type. You will need the ability to point to a Search effect like fungal growth has, which itself points to the effect that adds the void prison behavior.
Create a new effect of type "search area"
open the "Area +" field, add a new value (click green X), set it's radius and effect to what you want (Effect would be the initial void prison effect)
Set the target fields value to "target point"
Set this effect as your abilities effect (in the "Effects" field)
Create a new effect of type "search area"
open the "Area +" field, add a new value (click green X), set it's radius and effect to what you want (Effect would be the initial void prison effect)
Set the target fields value to "target point"
Set this effect as your abilities effect (in the "Effects" field)
Mucho appreciated! :D
Also thanks for clearing up a bit of the mystery Ranak.
