[Lrd-thrall]

Hey there

Frostmourne
http://www.playdota.com/heroes/lord-of-avernus#skill24

I based it off slow poison and changed the buff tooltips and such, but i dont manage to make the triggers for the attack and movespeed increase

please help
thanks

just cast bloodlust when someone attacks a unit that has that buff

 

[rulerofiron99]

Make new dummy unit with an ability based of Bloodllust.

The trigger will be:
Event - unit is attacked
Condition - Boolean - (attacked unit) has specific buff (Slow Poison)
Actions:
Create dummy unit at position of attacked unit
Unit - order dummy unit to cast bloodlust on attacked unit

Don't forget to clean the memory leaks.

Hey
Thanks for helping me

I still cant make it work though.
Thats how my trigger looks like:
http://s1.directupload.net/file/d/3091/7axzy62i_jpg.htm

It seems to me that my "Order unit to cast the bloodlust spell" trigger must be wrong. I created a spell like bloodlust, just no mana cost, high cast range, but i cant find where i could select it. the unit is a footman called "dummy", even gave him mana but didnt help

 

[Arhowk]

use

• tags
• make sure all of dummy's fields that have anything to do with Animation in Art and Combat is set to 0 and bloodlust cast time is set to 0
• also, change the Remove (Last Created Unit) to Add a 1.00 second Generic Expiration TImer to (last cretaed unit) (Unit - Add Expiration Timer)

Check that your bloodlust ability doesn't have any tech requirements.

 

[Lrd-thrall]

Hey
I poured heaps of water over my laptop yesterday, so I couldnt answer anymore ^^ Its all fine again, so back to the trigger

So it still doesnt work. No tech requirements, added an expiration timer but I cant seem to tell the dummy unit to cast my custom bloodlust spell. is it maybe only possible with "custom script" ?

 

[Arhowk]

no.

i was able to get it working fine. post a test map?

 

[rulerofiron99]

Looking back at your trigger, I noticed that you're creating the dummy unit for player 11.

Try rather use (owner of (attacking unit))

 

[Lrd-thrall]

Hey, I attached the file.
The Trigger is in the "Frostmourne" Folder
Dummy: Custom Units -> Neutral passive -> special -> DummyFrostmourne
The spell: Custom abilities -> undead -> units -> bloodlust dummyspell

Edit: I am player 11 (green)

player 11 is brown lol

but il take a look at it

 

[Lrd-thrall]

no brown is 12, dark green is 11 ^^ thats me in the settings. i used to have a color problem so i changed it. i fixed it, but never changed it back to player 1 ^^

 

[rulerofiron99]

• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shaman - Bloodlust (Attacked unit)

->

• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shaman - Bloodlust (Attacking unit)

Tested, it works.

 

[Lrd-thrall]

your right, wtf i used to have it on attacking unit aswell. maybe the old dummy didnt work properly
So how do i know which bloodlust skill it is using? because i just tested and it actually is using the ustom spell. because its in the dummys abilities?

 

[Arhowk]

Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shaman - Bloodlust (Attacked unit)

-->

Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shaman - Bloodlust (Attacking unit)

e/ damn u beat me to it

2e/ to your other question, its just an order id. if you give a unit two abilities based off of the same ability than they will both attempt to cast.

 

[Lrd-thrall]

That's really great, thanks a lot guys

Now im gonna attempt to make the attackspeed increase while the heroes ability is leveled up ^^

I guess i copy the trigger so i have 5 (5levels of the skill) then make 5 different debuffs that each trigger a different level.

So thanks again ill click on your rep buttons ^^

Okay so in case anyone googles this, here is how I've done it.

- you will need a dummy unit that is being created, casts bloodlust on you, then is being destroyed again. (http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/cat_usersubmit.php?view=26751) (or google how to make a dummy unit)

- Make a new spell and base it on bloodlust. Give it to your dummy unit. make it 2 (depends on how many levels you want, then change it) levels.
The spell needs 99999 cast range, 0 mana cost, 0 casting time, no tech tree dependencies. In "Stats-Buffs" you can put in a custom made Buff(just copy the bloodlust buff, then customize it). make a few of them and add numbers, to see ingame whether its using the correct one. (but u also need to put them in the correct field of your bloodlust spell) (this buff is on your hero)

- make the skill for the hero, based on slow poison (nightelf dryad). Change whether u want it to decrease move/attack speed, deal dmg or not. (if not put values on 0). set "stats - hero ability" to true.

- For the hero skill u need to make 2(depends on lvls) buffs. base them of the slow poison buff and number them, too so u can choose the correct one in the triggers later. (this buff is gonna be on your enemy)

- thats how my trigger looks like. it checks whether the (de-)buff is lvl 1 or 2, then sets the lvl of the bloodlust skill to 1 or 2.

• Frostmourne lvl 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Attacked unit) has buff Frostmourne (level 1)) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set loc = (Position of (Attacked unit))
        • Unit - Create 1 DummyFrostmourne (Custom Campaign) for (Owner of(Attacking unit)) at loc facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Set level of Bloodlust dummyspell for (Last created unit) to 1
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shaman - Bloodlust (Attacking unit)
        • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_loc)
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Attacked unit) has buff Frostmourne (level 2)) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set loc = (Position of (Attacked unit))
        • Unit - Create 1 DummyFrostmourne (Custom Campaign) for (Owner of(Attacking unit)) at loc facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Set level of Bloodlust dummyspell for (Last created unit) to 2
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shaman - Bloodlust (Attacking unit)
        • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_loc)
      • Else - Actions

So another update. It shouldn't leak and the variable is "name=loc" & "type=point"
Kind regards and thanks to rulerofiron99 again

updated 3/12/2012

 

[rulerofiron99]

1. You are doing leak removal wrong.
The point is that you use the loc variable instead of (Position of (Attacked unit))

So your trigger should look like this:

• Actions
  • Set loc = (Position of (Attacked unit))
  • Unit - Create 1 DummyFrostmourne (Custom Campaign) for Player 11 (Dark Green) at loc facing Default building facing degrees
  • Unit - Set level of Bloodlust dummyspell for (Last created unit) to 1
  • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shaman - Bloodlust (Attacking unit)
  • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_loc)

Also, instead of making a trigger for each level, you can put them both in the same trigger, and use an If/Then/Else - Multiple functions action.

This seems to work ingame. Do you approve of it? ;P

Edit: The variable type is correct then? switched numbers, lvl 1 and 2.

 

[rulerofiron99]

Wonderful.

Further improvements:

Change "Player 11 (Dark Green)" -> (Owner of (Attacking unit))
Remove the "Do nothing" action

 

[Lrd-thrall]

It shall be done.
...
It is done.

Thanks again =D
