adding passive ability on an item if item is in inventory

[aitz-]

How to make a trigger (on) when i have a specific item

the trigger would be like this :

if attacked unit has 100% hps then add an passive ability on the item and if attacked unit has 30% hps left (turn off the trigger) (how to make a passive ability?)

the ability will be critical strike versus buildings...(also the building is a unit or?)
so turn on this trigger if hero manipulating has item type (my item)

need 2 triggers but don't really know how to start :/

 

[pick-a-chew]

if you use a DDS then you'll only need 1 easy trigger which fires if the attacker has the item and the attacked unit is above 30% hp

my question is now how to make an ability being passive and not showing as a skill on hero control panel?

Use a hidden spell book.

I did the trigger with DDS but it's not working...

maybe i did something wrong there?

• Elements crit dmg trigger
  • Event
    • Game - DamageEvent becomes Equal to* 1.00
  • Conditions
    • IsDamageSpell Equal to* FALSE
    • (DamageEventTarget is A building) Equal to* TRUE
    • (DamageEventSource has an item of type |c008000ffThe Elements|r) Equal to* TRUE
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Life of DamageEventTarget) Greater or Equal to* 0.30
      • Then - Actions
        • Unité - Add Critical dmg Elements to DamageEventSource

          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Remove Critical dmg Elements from DamageEventSource
          • Else - Actions

You want "percentage life" not "life"

 

[aitz-]

but critical strike doesn't work against buildings?
I enabled buildings to target...

because it's still not working even with the percentage life fixing...

 

[Bribe]

Yeah, just trigger your critical strikes if you want them to work against buildings:

If Random Number between 1 and 100 less than or equal to 15 then
Set DamageEventAmount = DamageEventAmount x (2/3/4 whatever level if you want).

hmm i'm doing something wrong?

The event needs to be DamageModifierEvent. Keep in mind that the critical strike texttag will not display unless you trigger it.

 

[aitz-]

why the event has to be damage event modifier?

because i'll modify the damage on the target?

or is it because i change the value of my critical strike?

 

[Bribe]

When you change damage, that's the event to use. DamageEvent itself is only for when the damage is already finalized and won't change any further. This way, you can display a text tag with the correct amount.

If you want a "critical" against buildings, why not try using the demolish ability?

 

[aitz-]

hmm it's still not working...

Edit: @publishedShadow man real thanks

but now my question is.

How to remove the ability if the tower has less than 30% hps because i did the trigger but it won't remove the ability -.-

 

[Krakenn99]

It's easy. You don't need dds.
Time every 1 second.
If then else :
IF:
- unit has item and unit has life percent equal or greater than 30
Then:
- add demolish ability to unit
Else:
-remove demolish ability from unit


Something similar to that

 

[Bribe]

Your percentage life needs to be based on 30, not 0.30, and then it will work.
