So, a people in BN forum asked how to create Line and Arc cursor with the new feature in 1.5 - "Support has been added for Line and Arc targeting cursor support." http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/6246616983
So I just made this sample map.
This new Arc actor would provide us a very very easy way to create line or arc shaped AoE indicate cursor. You just need to
1] Prepare the model
2]Create a new Arc type actor then set its parent to "GuideVisualArc".
3]Set the model and the ability event of the new actor.
10000x easier than the old way to create Raynor's Railgun Splat, and you can use it on more than one unit, yeah.
Take the Raynor's Railgun Splat as a sample. We just need to remove the old actor event of his railgun, then add such lines:
This is very nice, but I would like to show lines for multiple units in the selection at once (for a line spell without smartcast). It should look somewhat like , do you know, if that is possible with arc actors?
I thought this was going to be a thread with friggin' Ultralisks shooting friggin' laser beams out of their friggin' eyes. I already had my F16 Raptor ready and then it turns out it's just some data thing. So disappointing.
yes please, how would you have multiple units show the laser at same time?
HotS is out by now, and I think the new "Quad" actors are what you should use for stuff like this. You can look how they are set up in the HotS campaign maps (for example in the Kerrigan ability where she dives forward, in some of the Bossfights they are used too).

Most excellent.
