Ability Question

[Shendoo2]

How do i make an ability to have a chance to cast fire ball on its target when he attacks and have like a 10% chance to cast make him invulnerable when he gets attacked?

For the fireball, just modify an orb effect and have it shoot out a modified firebolt (if you want stun) or a single-target damage spell if you don't want the stun. Make sure to zero out the mana costs and casting time for the orb-trigger spell. This, however, will make you unable to use other orb effects on that unit.

As for the other, you'll have to trigger it to check upon unit being attacked. Do an if-then-else, using a random integer from 1-10 (and only going to the "then" on a 1), give the attacked unit divine shield and force him to cast it.

Yeah very effective... Makes the dummy invulnerable...WOW GREAT JOB........
But he is right... that's the way you can make this ablities...
(Important is that you check if the attacked unit has the abilty)

 

[Squiggy]

No it doesn't

• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to *your invulernability ability* (Attacked Unit)

Makes the dummy cast the spell on the attacked unit

By the way, there wasn't any ability mentioned...

Next time, please read carefully before you complain kthxbai

Sidenote

For a triggered invulernability use a dummy spell with a buff, check for the buff and if the unit has it, trigger the invulernability - either way round, the same

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

No it doesn't

• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to *your invulernability ability* (Attacked Unit)

Makes the dummy cast the spell on the attacked unit

Mh Oo sry.... didn't see that... but is there a "invul" ability which makes other units invunerable?

I suggest just to use the trigger action "make unit invulnerable/vulnerable"...and a 3 sec wait... or something.

 

[Squiggy]

Wait doesn't make spells MUI sadly - otherwise I'd do that too..
A way to trigger invulernability is described in my 'sidenote'

When i go tto have the dummy caster cast the ability my ability isnt there it just says stuff like Human mountain king - storm bolt why isnt my custom ability there?
