[Trigger] Add a specific amount of mana when an ability is used.

[Aegis Runestone]

Here's an old trigger I used to make "Charge" for my warrior hero.

• Warrior Charge Action
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Charge (Test)
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Human\Invisibility\InvisibilityTarget.mdl
    • Set SpecialFX = (Last created special effect)
    • Trigger - Run Special Effect Destruction <gen> (ignoring conditions)
    • Sound - Play WarriorHeroricLeap <gen> at 100.00% volume, located at (Position of (Triggering unit)) with Z offset 1500.00
    • Set Stored_Unit[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Wait 0.15 game-time seconds
    • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing (Real(((Level of Charge (Test) for (Triggering unit)) x 1))) damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal

Instead of the damage (or maybe after it), I'd like it to add 4 mana (for level 1, 8 for level 2, 12 for level 3) to the unit's mana. Not set it to 4 mana, but add 4 mana. Is this possible?

I think this should work

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set mana of (Triggering unit) to ((Mana of (Triggering unit)) + 4.00)

So use the set mana function,
then arithmetic,
then (unit property) + 4

 

[Aegis Runestone]

Cool! Now how would I do that in increments dependent on the ability's level (4, 8, 12)?

 

[RabidParrot]

how many levels can the hero gain?

 

[Aegis Runestone]

Ten.

Edit2: okay fixed

 

[Aegis Runestone]

Thanks, but won't that raise it to 40 by level 10? Charge has only 3 levels. :S

 

[RabidParrot]

In his trigger,

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 3, do (Actions)

will make it so it's only applied to your hero when his level is either 1, 2, or 3

 

[Amigurumi]

ups, made a fault again try this. This should be alright

Heres another one, like 10x more simple...

1 action...

Unit - Set mana of (YourUnit) to ((Mana of (YourUnit)) + (4.00 x (Level of (Ability being cast) for (YourUnit)))

 

[Aegis Runestone]

That works just as well.
