Anyway to make a reverse aura?

[EveOfFire]

Looking for an aura that will reverse all effects of any other aura that the enemy has, so that a speed boost would be a speed reduction, and things like that.

Triggers!!

 

[EveOfFire]

You mean the whole if this then this, kind of trigger? I was hoping there would be a simpler way for if I wanted to use it agian and agian... Like a way to edit a aura so it does all of that.

 

[Ramza]

no triggers needed. hold shift while u press the value u want to edit

 

[EveOfFire]

So there is a way to make it so it negifies all other auras anyone has?

 

[PurplePoot]

nah, ramza was confused

this requires alot of triggers, alot of dummy abils, and is generally not worth the effort.

 

[Arcsol]

Yeah it takes hard and too much work, but that depends of the numbers of auras and levels of them...well not really, is a whole work[/code]

 

[EveOfFire]

Yeah, I could probally just make an arua each that does the opposite of every other aura that everyone has as an ulti or something because that would be alot of auras going on eachother, if that is possible, I'm guessing I could use triggers to give him multiable auras ontop of the one I give him

Here's why this is a very NOT GOOD idea.
- You need one unit for each level of each aura your enemies you could possibly have.
- You need one ability for each level of each aura your enemies you could possibly have.
You need massive amounts of triggers all for one spell, and the final outcome is:
A massive waste of time for a decent spell.
As far as my knowledge goes.

But it would be a fun skill, making an aura that drained mana from you, but also got rid of every aura around you, infact screwed them up, so their aura hurt them...

 

[PurplePoot]

it would, if you were willing to make a dummy aura, a negative aura, and a huge trigger for every aura :?

 

[Ramza]

no i wasnt confused, i meant giving it the same aura with negative values but yea its alot work when there r alot auras in the game or there are more units with auras nearby

 

[EveOfFire]

Awww, that sucks, esspecially since I am a novice map maker.. -cry-

 

[AquaTsar]

... no, Ramza's making perfect sense, though possibly not too clear. Here's an example:

Edit abilities and select "Devotion Aura". Where it says "Level 1 - Data - Armor Bonus" hold down the shift key and double-click that value. Since you held down shift, you can type in negative numbers.

When you pick Devotion Aura in the game, it will now reduce armor instead of improve armor. Try it with other auras, though it may not work for all of them. I just tested it on the one mentioned here.

 

[donut3.5]

The only issue is that you will have to double the effect; making it the same only adding a negative will only nullify, not reverse it.
But yeah. You would have to have about 2 or 3 auras for this to not be too much work, in which case it is very close to obsolete.
I wish there was a way...
maybe a JASS way... but iunno.

also, you not only need all those dummy auras, you need to detect if the units have the positive form ( which becomes a big issue, cuz when the negative overwrites the positive then its hard to tell when you should remove the negative again. )

 

[AquaTsar]

Ahh, I misunderstood his question it seems.

Yeah, you would need triggers for that aura. And if you looked for both positive and negative auras, that would be a huge headache. In that case, just stick to positive auras. Those are the default ones anyway.

 

[EveOfFire]

At least now I am getting a bit better at triggers and stuff, this could be all made into one trigger if I took the time, but I would need alot of if/then/else, ands, and ors @.o Bah alot of work... Too bad I don't know anything about JASS
