A few spell requests.

[Tubby115]

Hi, im kinda new to custom mapping (i've made a bunch of melee maps). I was wondering if anyone can help me with a few spells.

Assess Threat: when cast, the hero is instantly teleported in a random direction 300 units away from his current location. (Illusion anim. 4 levels, mana decreases with each level)

Mind Drain: When successfully casted on an enemy hero for "X" seconds, that hero loses one intelligence permenantly. (Like mana drain, 8seconds,6seconds,4seconds,3seconds. 800 range)

Altered Being: Whenever the hero is attacked, it hasa slight chance of regaining that damage in life. (2% chance, 4% chance, 6% chance, 8% chance.)

Thank you. If any of you kind people are actually willing to MAKE any of these spells for me, pm me and i will tell you the details. If not, Please instruct me on how i can do this myself. Thanks!

I think Mana Drain can be done easly.

Events:
Generic Unit Event: A Unit starts the effect of an ability

Conditions:
Ability Comparison: (Ability being cast) equal to Mind Drain

Actions:
Wait: Wait 8 seconds.
Hero/Modify Hero Attribute: Modify Intelligence of (Target Unit of Ability being cast) subtract 1.

300 units? how big do you want the collision size and scale of each unit to be?

Altered Being: Whenever the hero is attacked, it hasa slight chance of regaining that damage in life. (2% chance, 4% chance, 6% chance, 8% chance.)

events-
unit is attacked
conditions-
level of altered being equal to #
actions-
if (random number) equal to # or less
set life of attacking unit to (life of attacking unit + 4% of max life)

300 units as in distance. Im not sure what the measurements in WE are, but 300 of those... :lol: it's not far. i just basically want it so the unit could, say, move out of an aoe spell easily.

Saying the average units collision size (closest thing to size there is) is 32. Thats a distance of: 32x300=9,600 that would be aproximately: 19.2 spaces on a large grid in any single direction. So, over 3/4 a 96x96 map. I dont think you want it to be that far. How bout a distance of 300 (thats more exact .)

So heres your trigger:

Event
Unit - A unit Unit - A unit Starts casting an ability.

condition
(Ability being cast) Equal to Name Of Ability

Action

Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of Casting unit using Abilities\Spells\NightElf\Blink\BlinkCaster.mdl
Set SpecialEffect = (Last created special effect)

Animation - Play TargetUnit[1]'s Spell animation

Wait 0.10 seconds

Special Effect - Destroy SpecialEffect

Unit - Move (Casting unit) instantly to ((Position of (Casting unit)) offset by 300.00 towards (Random angle) degrees)

Should work . Gl with future maps .

I think Mana Drain can be done easily.

Events:
Generic Unit Event: A Unit finishes casting an ability...

This could be done more efficiently, like I corrected in the quote.

Ok thats alot, i got that one working. Now i've got another one.

Arcane Nova:
Deals 30% of current mana in damage to a unit.
how would i trigger something like this?
