[Trigger] Another problem has arisen:P

[CrueIIntentions]

Im looking to Turn a hero spell into a charged item.. Anyone know how to go about this As well i posted the following in the wrong section, i seriously dont mean to repost this, but i dont think i can move it so im just going to copy and paste it <noob style > Now with this the actions have got me totally stumped. Maybe i can get help with this too and nail two birds with one stone.

If you want a trigger that when a player selects a unit, he gets that unit he selected, then here:

• Events
  • Player - Player X (Color) Selects a unit
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If / Then / Else
    • If Conditions
      • Owner of (Triggering unit) = Player 1
      • (Triggering unit) is A Hero = True
      • Number of units in (Units owned by (Triggering player) matching ((Matching unit) is A Hero Equal to True)) = 0
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Change ownership of (Triggering unit) to (Triggering player) Change color
      • Game - Display to (All players) for X seconds the text: <your text here>
    • Else - Actions

If you want a trigger that when a player selects a unit, he gets a unit of the same unit type, then here:

• Events
  • Player - Player X (Color) Selects a unit
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If / Then / Else
    • If Conditions
      • Owner of (Triggering unit) = Player 1
      • (Triggering unit) is A Hero = True
      • Number of units in (Units owned by (Triggering player) matching ((Matching unit) is A Hero Equal to True)) = 0
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 <Your Hero here> for (Triggering player) at <Location here> facing 270.00 degrees
      • Game - Display to (All players) for X seconds the text: <Your text here>
    • Else - Actions

 

[CrueIIntentions]

Thankya kind sir. Easy to follow. Dont suppose you could show me how to me a hero spell Chargeable


I want to be able to buy holy light for 250 gold and be able to use it 5 times (level 1 spell)

 

[Orc]

No problem.

Create a Holy Light spell.
Set is to these settings:
Stats - Hero Ability: [_] (False)
Stats - Item Ability: [x] (True)
Stats - Levels: 1
Stats - Mana cost: 0

Got the spell ready.

Now for the item.

Create an item (if you haven't already).
Abilities - Ability: <the Holy Light spell>
Stats - Actively Used: True
Stats - Cooldown Group: <the Holy Light spell>
Stats - Gold cost: 250
Stats - Number of Charges: 5
Stats - Perishable: True

 

[Teh_Ephy]

You may or may not want perishable to be true. If you have a problem with the item not running out of charges, it's that the perishable field is set to the wrong value.

 

[Orc]

Whoops. Sorry, I thought I wrote it as True. Thanks for catching that.

 

[CrueIIntentions]

ok im working off a dummy spell... mighta been the jetlag from last night. How do i create abilities again

 

[Orc]

World Editor > F6 > Abilities > Ctrl + Shift + N > Find the ability you want, select it, and press OK.

 

[CrueIIntentions]

Ok im in object editor... but i dont see an abilities tab... Could i have deleted it?

 

[Orc]

You don't see it? That's weird. Perhaps you need to reinstall the WE. Although in all honesty, I don't know if that will work. I've never encountered this problem.

No, the Abilities tab is hardcoded into the WE; you can't remove it.

 

[CrueIIntentions]

Yes i seriously dont see it.. I have only two. Items/Units

 

[Orc]

So you can't see the tabs circled in this picture?

 

[Teh_Ephy]

He's obviously using RoC, which only allows for custom units and items, not spells.

 

[terradont]

Get the expansion set The Frozen Throne to get full access to the WE

 

[CrueIIntentions]

Well now. That would be nice to have... i bet most of the problems i have now would be solved if i had frozen throne expansion HAHAHA ..!!! Crap. Well i have a question then.. i have a map started in the regular WE, Can i open it again when i install frozen throne?


K i had to edit this, is there anyway to make an item at your base appear... ok i really dont know how to word this. Example : (Upgrade castle) for <1200> Wait 320 seconds. (Upgrade Castle)for<1200> (this castle is even stronger) but with each upgrade it produces differnt types of units. Stronger ones. Possible or no?

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Yes. All maps that work in Reign of Chaos work in The Frozen Throne.

 

[terradont]

Yes, but once you've edited it with Frozen throne material only, there is no turning back to Reign of Chaos. Dunno why you would want to do that though? All Reign of Chaos features is in TFT, and if you want your game to be RoC, then you can just make a new map, or not convert the old into TFT.

 

[CrueIIntentions]

k but if i convert my map into a tft edited one, can i still play it on RoC? And another one for ya, is there anyway to make an item at your base appear... ok i really dont know how to word this. Example : (Upgrade castle) for <1200> Wait 320 seconds. (Upgrade Castle)for<1200> (this castle is even stronger) but with each upgrade it produces differnt types of units. Stronger ones. Possible or no?

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Maps with Frozen Throne content, including any custom abilities, will not run on Reign of Chaos, which terradont actually said just now.

If you are talking about what I think you are talking about, you want to be able to purchase upgrades to the spawn-point building, right? I'm not sure how the triggers would go, but yes, it is possible.

 

[CrueIIntentions]

I understand what you are saying. But ive played a few custom made maps (on RoC)where the hero's were the same as the ones on tft. Uh, Its kinda hard to explain, for instance, one of the hero's from tft (spell breaker<custom made>), he has the vengeance ability,is on a RoC map - Hero Wars Distinct, its not a melee map. As well, on that map there is a charged item - holy light. But in order to edit that ability, you need to be able do it on tft. Am i missing the point? or is something else needed to do this, I cant show you the map, as it is locked, but if your on battle.net i could host it for you to show you .

 

[terradont]

I do not know about that, but some tft maps can maybe be played with roc.

And i have 2 options which i believe that you may have meant.

#1 Every player has this base, is it possible to upgrade it to boost it as well as spawn better units?

#2 There is x number of teams, all with a bot player or one player that has the base. Is it possible for all players of that team to upgrade (blablabla) that base?

Is it any of these you meant? Otherwise, try to be more specific, cuz i know about the upgrade triggers pretty well, so i may be able to help you.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

RoC maps with TFT content have imported the TFT content with a third-party program. The spell was probably made using triggers.

 

[CrueIIntentions]

Then Im stuck back where i started. i have to reconfiger everything to try and get my map back up not good Thanks though.
