I want to make an ability for a unit in my custom race to have an ability that uses the creep tumor missile. I want it to deal damage and apply force to units it hits when it rises out of the ground. So while it is underground, it is doing nothing. I realize this may or may not be a complex operation. How exactly do I go about making this?

Looking for feedback on my custom races extension mod called "Scion Custom Races (Mod)"
so I'll give you my interpretation of what it looks like you're asking to do:
I would modify the Queen creep tumor ability to have what you want. First of all, you'll need to increase the range, take off the "spawn time" it takes for the creep to come up, and take off the "must be on creep" validator. Then you'll want to create a new set effect which will take the place of the spawn creep tumor effect. Under that you'll want to add the create creep tumor effect back in and also create a new search area effect. Then in that search area you can search for units within the range you want around where the creep tumor landed. You can also add a set effect to be the search area effect so that you can put the apply force and damage onto the affected units. You can look at things like "mothership vortex" or the HOTS zergling jump abilities to reference force effects for what you want to make.
I hope that helps. If you still are having trouble with the editor, I suggest going to the tutorial link in my signature. It has tutorials for almost anything.
