Blizzard problem (channel - not channel) 0,o?

[babaroga]

Hi, have a question :
i'm working on my map and i'm working on spells like : blizzard, rain of fire, earthquaqe and same... but i need this:
hero casts a spell like blizzard, and it stands while blizzard falls in waves... how to make a hero moving and casting other spells while blizzard falls and deals the same dmg and effect??? and how to make a effect on blizzard - to freeze (slows units in its aoe) like rain of fire - burns....? Ty 4 reporting

To make Blizzard non-channeling, make two "blizzard" spells
then make the first one create 0 waves. then use a trigger to spawn a dummy unit with the second blizzard this one
with the appropriate wave/damage.
Then order the dummy unit to blizzard the location via the same trigger, and voila

Example:

• Blizzard
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Blizzard
  • Actions
    • Set LeakPointN = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at LeakPointN facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Archmage - Blizzard LeakPointN
    • Custom script: RemoveLocation(udg_LeakPointN)

alright, I can offer a solution for the ladder. Simply create an buff which slows units, and add it to the buffs list of your ability.

for the post above mine, if you aren't sure how to create a dummy unit:

Simply create a new peasant unit. Rename it "dummy unit." Change its model path to "blah blah" or something else which is invalid. Give it the "locust" ability. Viola! You've got your dummy unit!

For dummy unit i also do the folowing:
Shadow image - none
Turn Rate - 3.00
movement - type- fly
food cost - 0
And give them much mana so that in case you forgot to set spell mana cast to 0 it still works

also give the dummy negative regen if you don't add expiration timer

You forget about invulnerability.

Dummy should has invulnerability, locust, no shadow image. And add expiration timer which will be as long as casting of the blizzard spell.

Okay... thank u u3....
but 1 more question for negative regeneration... -> How to set it??? it always rewrites to zero (0)... for the same problems i used Phoenix because it has -25 HP reg... 0,o?
and is it the same way to do that minus for auras??? to get -5 armor or -10% movements....? i guess that are again triggers ^^

 

[Restor]

no triggers

press shift+enter and write down negative values


hehe first

You forget about invulnerability.

Dummy should has invulnerability, locust, no shadow image. And add expiration timer which will be as long as casting of the blizzard spell.

As far as I know Locust includes invulberability.
