How to reproduce D1's Lightning in Diablo II?

[Ogodei]

Hello,

I would like to know if there's a way to reproduce the behavior of Diablo I lightning spell, which creates a piercing missile that inflicts damage per every frame that goes through the target. I tried to mess with Missiles.txt with no result. Can someone enlighten me please ?

Well, what you need is to fire a dummy missile in a straight line that creates a "firewall" where it passes.

Isn't Poison Javelin somewhat like that?

It works thanks a lot Desocupado!

I will post the entries of Missiles.txt for the people who might be in need of something similar:
Just copy & paste it into your missiles.txt and change name, id, Cel graphic and sounds.
