I need to make a projectile ability that collides with doodads/units, does damage and returns a kill to the casting unit. How can i do this, or are there any good tutorials for something like this?

@DrSuperEvil: Go

I'd like it to hit a unit and do damage to it, and once it hits a doodad it destroys itself.

@DrSuperEvil: Go

What is Unit-Ammo unit? I can't find "Ammo Unit" under the units tab

Ammo Unit is a field of the launch missile - effect

@ResolveHK: Go For colliding with units, you can apply a behavior to the missile, which periodically searches for enemy units in a small area and causes damage, if it finds one.

For correct kill credit, this behavior should have the Kill Credit - field set to Caster; also the behavior has to be applied, when the missile is launched (use the Launch Effect- field of the launch missile effect for this)

I have no idea, how to handle colliding with doodads, or if it is even possible (well, most likely it is, but I don't know, how).

Ah i see. thanks.

@DrSuperEvil: Go

Yeah, that was really hard to understand, and really hard to follow. It didn't come out right. T_T

Basically, what i'm trying to make is a Snipe ability that will pass through units and do damage. I guess it doesn't have to die when it hits doodads, but it can die after a certain range.

Do you know the Penetrator Round spell from Jim Raynor in the Belly of the Beast mission? From what you say, it could be exactly what you need.

Hmm..yes, i have wanted to use that spell, but i've heard its really hard to work with. Does that spell allow you to use that cool "mouse following" red line on any unit such as Ghost(LaserLines) ?

It is indeed not that easy. The way blizzard implemented the targeting line, it is not multi unit instanceable and if you want to use it on a Ghost, you have to set up the Ghost actor. However without the targeting line, the spell is quite easy to use and functional for any unit.
