I'm attempting to create an ability, which on cast summons a unit at target point that will do initial damage, and periodic damage to units around the summoned unit. This unit should also attack enemies/follow my caster. I've got the effect on the Arm Magazine ability as my Set(Contains my search for damage, and my behavior on my unit which does the pulsing damage effect), and then for Ability info I have Command-"Ammo 1" as my button, and the unit i'm summoning(just a ultralisk with a new model).
When I press the ability, i can see the actor for the pitlord set going off as well as hearing that ultralisk sound but I don't see any unit. It also won't let me use this ability more than once. Any thoughts?
Umm, not I don't think the ammo unit has a unit type actor, unless it inherited one from when I duplicated. Not to sure what the beta colossus is. but ....Essentially, I'm going for this
Sorry for the confusion. Essentially yes, I'd like my unit to attack any enemies within range just as the colossus did from the videos I was seeing. I've got the impact effects all set up, just getting that unit to appear and attack enemies/follow caster after being created is the last hurdle. Should I look into giving my unit that unit type actor you mentioned?
How to do the attack is covered in older threads. Just have a channelled persistent that creates a unit with a Create Unit effect that then uses an Issue Order effect via the effect field of the create unit effect to attack the target of the attack ability like the broodlord does.

ModeratorsOk does the ammo unit have a Unit type actor.
Sounds like an ammo cap issue since you only have max 1 to launch.
You trying to recreate the beta colossus?

ModeratorsOk???? not at all sure what you want. Seems it creates an aoe on impact that then creates a unit.
Just YouTube the sc2 beta and see how the colossus attacks.

ModeratorsIf you want to see the unit is needs an actor.
How to do the attack is covered in older threads. Just have a channelled persistent that creates a unit with a Create Unit effect that then uses an Issue Order effect via the effect field of the create unit effect to attack the target of the attack ability like the broodlord does.
