Ability issue.

[Rugarus]

I'm trying to attatch the blood lust ability to my item. It shows it has mana on the item but when I click it nothing happens.

[EdgeOfChaos]

Does the item have "Actively Used" set to True?

 

[Rugarus]

It's set to false.

 

[EdgeOfChaos]

Set it to true then.

 

[Rugarus]

Didn't do anything, except made it clickable. But can't cast on any units.

Remove the Techtree Requirement

Already did that still not working. I can send you guys an example map with the item and ability if you want.

All autocastable spells bug on items, they enable autocasting instead of casting it.
Edit: If one listens to sounds one might hear the autocast-feedback when clicking the item.

 

[Abyssion]

Use the neutral hostile non auto cast version, that should work.

 

[Rugarus]

Still not working.

 

[Abyssion]

Use Berserk (item) instead of Bloodlust, then adjust the damage taken field for that ability so you don't take additional damage.
Set mana cost, cooldown etc. to whatever you like.

But Berserker is self-target and Bloodlust is unit-target...

 

[Abyssion]

I'm pretty sure he wants the item to self cast based on what I saw in the GIF he posted.

I need it to be able to be used on any allied unit or self.

 

[Abyssion]

If that is the case then the only thing I can think of is to give them item any unit cast ability and make it have no effect and then spawn a dummy to cast bloodlust on the target unit.

How is blood lust normally used then?

If what he is saying is correct you cannot use auto cast abiltiies for items.

Edit: If you're really that desperate to have bloodlust boots and don't want to bother with triggers then perhaps take the cripple ability and modify it to work like bloodlust. (Set the movement speed and attack speed reduction to negative values and change the buff to bloodlust instead of cripple etc). You won't get the unit size increase of bloodlust though but that's the best I can offer you without triggers.

 

[Rugarus]

I can't seem to be able to cast my ability on myself.

When I target myself nothing happens, when I target an enemy it works.

My unit is a hero, enemy is a ground unit.

My allowed targets: Ground, Self, Enemy

anyone know what the issue is? I've tried like 3 abilities now and they all don't work on my character.

 

[Abyssion]

Take out enemy I think it conflicts with self.

 

[Rugarus]

Take out enemy I think it conflicts with self.

Already tried that. I just did enemy to show the ability is working.

 

[Abyssion]

Help me understand why you are trying to chain lightning yourself in the first place lol

 

[Rugarus]

Help me understand why you are trying to chain lightning yourself in the first place lol

I'm trying to use an ability that can be casted on self, so I can trigger when a spell is casted to add blood lust to my unit. I don't need chain, I can use any ability I just figured this works.

 

[Abyssion]

Add air, allied, friendly to your existing self, ground, enemy

 

[Abyssion]

Use an ability like healing salve because with it you can select a friendly target or yourself.

 

[Rugarus]

That ability only works if you aren't full HP tho right?

 

[Abyssion]

Yea true I forgot set it to another buff ability like anti magic shell but just r make it last like .1 seconds and remove the buff and alter the targets allowed.

Edit: There is actually a field in the healing salve ability that lets you allow it to be used even when health is full.

 

[Rugarus]

Tried that can't cast on my hero for some reason. Doesn't give me an error message like "can't be cast on" just doesn't allow me.

set the Allow when full field to "Always"

 

[Rugarus]

set the Allow when full field to "Always"

still isn't doing anything :/

 

[Abyssion]

Give the item a custom version of unholy frenzy and set its duration to .1 seconds I tested unholy frenzy and it works.

Tried still not working, when I cast on myself nothing happens. What item are you using to test this?

 

[Abyssion]

I was using the helm of battle thirst and replaced its berserk ability with unholy frenzy and it worked fine on my map. Upload your map
let me take a look please.

omg look at this shit, a stupid trigger was the reason why it wasn't working

• Issued order
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Target unit of issued order) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True
        • ((Target unit of issued order) is A structure) Equal to False
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
        • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop
        • Unit - Unpause (Triggering unit)
      • Else - Actions
