[Solved]Adding an additional effect to an on-hit ability
Hey there~
Big Edit: I Solved the problems with your help and some thinking/testing of my little own. I also changed what the ability does, so dont be surprised ^^"
The ability I created(Petrifying Arrows) slows the enemy on hit and reduces their damage dealt.
The initial base-ability I used was cold arrows, but that did not work,b ecause it had no order string and adding new order strings was, for some reason, not accepted. So I just coded the slowing part per trigger into searing arrows, which is the new base ability - and that one works.
Things to Note:
- It is important(as it seems) to use an ability which already has an order string.
- I used, in the "Petrifying Arrows Unit Group"-Trigger the unit-type check, so it would not conflict with the normal Searing Arrows ability.
- I used multiple or-conditions in the "Petrifying Arrows Unit Group", because my unit has another on-hit ability, and setting that one to autocast also need to remove her from the unit group.
- Using the damage engine event(DamageEvent becomes equal to 1, I believe it was) has caused several bugs with my unit(For example: Triggering my triggers with other abilities that deal damage), so I'd refrain from using it.
Anyway, here is the trigger:
