how to make an ability shoots hyperion ATA laser battery where clicked for 3 seconds ? and it must attack exactly like the hyperion. (it attacks random unit at random posion automatically.) and I want to use this ability while moving and attacking at the same time. how to use several abilities at tthe same time ?

I suggest you begin with some basic data editor tutorials. What you want to create is simple.

Button > Ability (Transient flag ticked) > Apply Behaviour (Effect) > Behaviour (Buff) > Search Area (Effect) > Launch Missile (Effect).

help me please..

did you read the answers?

nardival explained it well. except you don't need  transient (as it is buggy as hell) if you do it with a buff

It would probably help, if you tell us which part you didn't understand.

I know most of functions but I really don't understand how to use it and how to make it work properly. and it seems so hard to make an ability shoots 34 missiles or lasers for 3 seconds. so I want to make a unit that uses 34 abilities at the same time. and hey zeldarules28 ? if you don't want to help me, don't fish me please.. I waited 1,2 hours really.. also I have searched about making unit that uses several abilities at same time on this site but I couldn't find the proper guide of it.. and if I check Transient flag, the unit doesn't attack and use an ability at all ! did you even try that ? and If add TSrandom in the target sorts of the ability, the unit doesn't unit 3 abilities at the same time. he uses abilities one by one. this is horrible. I wasted a day.. if you don't want to help me, just don't help me. I don't want to wait for the incomplete poor answer..

That makes sense. I'm never helping you after that response, bro.

duplicate the hyperion air persistent effects. and create two effects or use two effects that are already created or duplicate them. one is plasma damage(damage type effect.) and another one is plasma launch missile(launch missile type effect.) and set the value in effect - initial in hyperion air persistent to plasma launch missile. and set the value in period effect in air persistent to plasma launch missile. and create a new ability or duplicate an ability. add the plasma launch missile effect in effect - effect in the ability. and do it several times. and do it several times and add several abilities to the unit. and the unit will use several abilities at the same time while attacking and moving

you are impolite impatient and unwilling to read and learn... still I can't resist saying something more. as a last chance

1st change your editor to table view. it is much more clearly arranged
2nd a search effect can launch as much effects the same momemt as it finds targets
a periodic persistent effect oder behavior can launch as much missiles as you want it to in a given amount of time, even 0 seconds

look at some very basic abilities and try to understand how effects and behaviors are linked.

very sorry but I am very noob. I really don't understand that if there is no very easy understandable guide. and sorry if I am very rude but I am not even american or english man. so I am a troll or something.. and I found many threads on it with "persistent data " keywords. now I see this thread is a bullshit. but it is very easy to learn this editor with example maps than english to me..

Don't let him bait you, he is either very rude and unwilling to learn or a troll.

Use an Effect - Instant ability (Transient flag optional) that uses a Create Persistent effect which is set to target the caster. The persistent effect then periodically uses a Search Area effect that then launches your missiles, lasers or even just causes damage at the target units. You can add limitations as to who is shot and how many per barrage by altering the number of periods/how often you have them, the the max count and target sorts of the search area effect or add counter buffs to the caster unit that a validator disables the persistent effect if it has hit 34 targets.

I really don't understand it. create an ability and create persistent effect and how do I set it to the caster ? and create a search area effect. how do I do if I want to launch 6 missiles ? and if there is a map that a unit uses ability that shoots several missiles, it would take 5 or 10 mins to understand how it works. sorry and this thread is bullshit.

Quote from DrSuperEvil: Go

Target - Location - Value determines where the Create Persistent effect occurs, when set to source it occurs on the casting unit. To launch sever missiles at once just set the Effect - Period Effects field to your desired effect (in this case a Search Area effect that uses a Launch Missile effect on all targets) and the Effect - Period Durations to 0 for the gaps between when several missiles have to launch at once eg. 0,0,0,0,0,0,2 would launch 6 effects at once then have a 2 second break. In your case you will be doing all the multiplicity of launching missiles with the search area effect so only need the persistent effect to determine the time between volleys.

A good example is the Void Seeker - Phase Mine Blast (Create Persistent) effect.

I created a create persistent effect. and effec - period effects is void seeker. and period durations is 0 0 0 0 0 2. and period count is 5. and I created an ability. and effect - effect is the create persistent effect. and I added this ability to the unit but it doesn't work at all.

Quote from DrSuperEvil: Go

Is the persistent effect being cast on the caster unit? What are you using to get the void seeker (LM) to target something? You have 6 periods yet only 5 period counts. Try and find at exactly which point your ability is no longer working, I personally find High Templar - Psi Storm (Persistent) a good visual effect to see if everything is working as planned.

the void seeker targets target unit. I didn't change other thing except what you said. and if I change void seeker to psi storm, it works. but I knew it before. but I don't know how to make it launch several missiles or lasers at once to each different targets.
