Backround: I am making an amazing Tiny Starcraft map. It has been balanced very well. But the damn spells are 2 cheap. If there is no way I can leave it the way it is with a higher spell cost. I'm trying to get it so certain things do proportional damage. 1/5th the ratio of units. 1:5

Example: Psyonic Storm- 1)changing the area the storm affects. 2)changing the damage it can be done at

What I want done: I want to change the area that the spells affect and/or the damage they do.

Is it possible: As far as I know, it isn't without a MOD. Thats why I am asking. I'm unsure of whether SC's editor is powerful enough to support this. I know WC3's is but thats not the point.

Conclusion:Input, Facts, Statements, Help.
Ps:Don't post to take up space and posts that won't help the topic, Don't post if you don't know or know what your talking about.

Please & Thank You

Of course you can't. HOWEVER! I heard you can make storm do less/slightly more using some method. I can't remember the details but a quick search for "storm" and "damage" and "upgrade" might bring it up.

If I recall correctly fromt hat trhead Chu is refering to, Psi Storm by default does 255 damager. If you can chage the upgrade number to say 10 it will do 10 damage.

I'm not sure fi this was the way but if it isn't something similar is done.

Yes, I remeber it was my thread. Psi storm does a base damage of 14 for every second or so the person is in the storm. If you go into SF, and go to the upgrades page, then go to unused and set unused 60 to what ever number you want that number will be added on to the base attack damage.

I dont know of any way to decrease psi storm dmg. (I know what your talking about psi storm on mini sc is so cheap tongue.gif)

I know of no other "spells" which can be modified without a MOD. Although used60 also upgrades the unused attack types. I.E. SCV dmg, Probe, Drone, cannon,spore ect... To bad LW wouldnt let me make the tut on this. See someone wanted to know!

There is a psi storm entry in the weapons table, but I don't believe that changing the data there actually affects the damage of the storm.

We had this in concepts a while ago; changing 'unused 60' as an upgrade gave an upgrade to missile turrets and such, and affected some spells like psi storm. However, you can't edit the AoE of it.

Yes but people are lazy. (I am too). So they just start new topics.

Simply raise the HP of every unit in the game by one certain number. Then I ask you'll have to raise the attack of every unit by one number. Otherwise, you're gonna have to mod.

Yes the tricky thing about Psi storm is it goes through armour and saves.
