[Solved] Attack Speed or Damage Aura for ranged units and on/off ability

TheFireMage · Jul 15, 2020

Hello hivers, what I have is a hero, learning an ability which can switch between Trueshot Aura and Celeritus Aura. I do not know any aura ability that gives extra attack speed so I used an item ability from gloves of haste and made it a normal ability, then I have the triggers detect if a unit has the attack speed buff from Celeritus Aura, it will add the glove of haste ability to the unit. I am using Bribe's Unit Indexer to make the ability MUI. Forgot to mention that only ranged units receive the buff, not both melee and ranged. However, I have a few problems with my abilities and triggers.
Solved/Unsolved
1) I used on/off abilities like mana shield and immolation but for some reasons it still keeps the buff that holds the model of green fire ball or blue oval shape shield around the hero although I cleared out the buff from the abilities. Solved by me (I simply used Defend or Magic Defense)
2) For Celeritus Aura, the unit did not get the ability, I think there's some problems in "Atk Speed Aura check"

Damcele is combination of Damnun and Celeritus

Endurance Aura adds attack speed.

Here's how you can trigger an aura toggle system: [Solved] - Drums of War

You can modify the concept to work for your toggle-order abilities.

TheFireMage · Jul 15, 2020

Thanks a lot
Edit: Your solution did not solved my second problem but I still appreciate your help.
ait what about the ability, they still keep the original model although I cleared everything. There are 2 abilities and they are based on immolation and mana shield. Is there on/off ability which has no model at all or how to completely remove buff from those abilities I just mentioned? I tried using channel ability with a dummy ability but casting too fast will cause the trigger to be buggy. And how do I make endurance aura to affect ranged unit only?

Why did you use "Triggering Unit" In this trigger if the Event doesn't includes a unit?, I think this is the problem.
PD: I recomend use "For (Integer A)".

Those buffs are 5 different buffs.

If the difference its the number of the name, you can use substring and use for,

And you didn't answer this.

Nah, I think you can't take the name of the buff with triggers, but you can assing them variables.

I thought putting "triggering unit" would imply units that have the buff.

HerlySQR said:

How can I do so?

No, triggering unit its the unit who runs the trigger (Depends only of the event).

TheFireMage said:

Just:

Set Buff[Level]=Your_buff

I'm terribly sorry, I cannot see the point at doing that. I've only used WE for 5 months so I'm a noob. I thought of what are you doing with that actually. I don't know if this improves what part my trigger is missing. Then what about with detecting units who have the buff? Do I have to include the ranged units to the trigger?

Ok I see, just assing your unit to a variable, and change those "Triggering Unit" for that variable.

What you're doing doesn't make any sense because there is no Triggering unit in that Event. Here's how Events work:

There's Events and there's Event Responses. Event Responses are exactly as they sound, a response to an Event. You can only reference Event Responses that are related to your Event inside of your trigger.

Here are some examples:

Event: A unit dies -> Event Response: Dying unit

Event: A unit enters a region -> Event Response: Entering unit

Event: A unit gains a level -> Event Response: Leveling hero

You can almost think of it like Blizzard is assigning variables for you to use (Dying unit = Unit variable, Entering unit = Unit variable, etc). Only some of these variables are assigned in each trigger, which depends on the Event(s). This makes sense because there is no Dying unit for instance in the Event A unit enters a region, so Dying unit won't be assigned to anything and if you try to reference it you'll see that it won't work.

The Event you're using, Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time has no Event Responses related to Units. That Event offers zero Event Responses to use.

Important side note:
You can also use the Event Response: Triggering unit in every single Event that involves a Unit like the Events I listed above. It's highly recommended to do so whenever possible as Triggering unit has a special property about it that make it more useful than the other Event Responses. That property being that it doesn't get unassigned (lost) after using a Wait action.

And I triggered an Aura effect that you can use. Unfortunately, it looks like you're using an older version of Warcraft 3 so you'll have to recreate it based on my triggers:

Abilities:
Celerity Aura (Attack Speed) = Unit ability based on Endurance Aura. Has 5 levels. Targets Allowed: Self. This is what applies the buff/attack speed. Remove the Art - Target from the ability and it's buff, as the blue aura effect will be done through triggers. Also, make sure to hide it's button, you can do this in the Object Editor by setting it's Button Position to 0,-11. See attached picture for an example.

Celerity Aura (Hero) = Hero ability based on Endurance Aura. Has 5 levels. Targets Allowed: None. This does nothing besides serve as a tooltip/ability to learn. It also provides the Aura art to the origin of the Hero (the actual Aura art, not the blue origin effect).

Variables:
Celerity_Source = Unit
Celerity_Target = Unit
Celerity_SourceGroup = Unit Group
Celerity_TargetGroup = Unit Group
Celerity_Level = Integer
Celerity_Point = Point
Celerity_Sfx = Special Effect (Array)

The Celerity Aura Loop trigger should be Initially OFF, as we turn it on when a living unit has the Celerity ability, and turn it off when there are no living units with the ability.

Do units get removed from group when they die?

Uncle · Jul 17, 2020

TheFireMage said:
Do units get removed from group when they die?

Yep, every 0.50 seconds it removes ALL units from the Celerity_TargetGroup. Then it searches for nearby eligible targets (alive, allied, ranged + any extra classifications you wish to add) to add into the group.

Celerity_SourceGroup contains the Heroes that have the Celerity ability. They're removed from the group temporarily while dead, and added back once they Revive.

If your map uses a custom Revive system then you should adjust the Revive trigger I made to work for your system. It's a simple trigger, you simply check if your "Reviving" unit has the Celerity ability (Level >= 1) and if yes, add it to Celerity_SourceGroup, then check if the Celerity Loop trigger is On, and if no, turn it On.

Edit: I thought you were talking about my triggers. Units will not be removed from a unit group when killed. You'll have to handle that yourself. (And if you use my triggers know that I do indeed remove them)

HerlySQR · Jul 18, 2020

@TheFireMage I told you

HerlySQR said:
No, triggering unit its the unit who runs the trigger (Depends only of the event)

Also the game says "Envent Reaction" when you select triggering unit, buy well I think Uncle gave you a good explanation of that.

When I said

HerlySQR said:
just assing your unit to a variable, and change those "Triggering Unit" for that variable.

I reffer in another trigger because what you did its practicaly the same as before.

Do I need to make CeleritySource_Group variable into an array one because there are more than one unit using this ability.

TheFireMage said:

nope, if it was an array it'd have [] after it. all of the variables are listed below the triggers I posted.

It's 100% mui.

Is there a way to completely remove the buff? After I cleared out the buff, the original buff still remains, unless I put another buff

Uncle · Jul 19, 2020

TheFireMage said:

It functions exactly as standard auras do. The buff lingers for ~2 seconds after getting out of range.

If you want the buff to no longer linger you can remove it after this line:

Unit - Remove Celerity Aura (Attack Speed) from Celerity_Target

Then -> Remove X buff from Celerity_Target

Unless i'm misunderstanding your problem/question.

It's not about the triggers, it's about the ability stats - buff
I cleared out the buff but the original buff remains

Uncle · Jul 19, 2020

What do you mean you cleared out the buff? You can't get rid of buffs, you can only change them. If you "remove" a buff, it will simply use the default one.

TheFireMage · Jul 20, 2020

Is there a way to make default buff not appear? I tried other buff and they still display for no reason.

Uncle · Jul 20, 2020

The alternative is to avoid using abilities that use buffs.

In this case you can replace Celerity Aura (Attack Speed) with an Item ability that adds attack speed (I think you were originally doing this).

Keep in mind that Item abilities sometimes have issues with setting their levels, but Attack Speed might be one of the exceptions that does work.

If it doesn't work then the trigger can be modified to use 5 separate Item abilities that represent levels 1 to 5.

TheFireMage · Jul 20, 2020

Do I need to untick Stats - Item Ability?

Uncle · Jul 20, 2020

TheFireMage said:

That doesn't change anything besides allowing Items to use the ability. Should be irrelevant.

Changes

Abilities:

- Damcele Aura = a toggle ability based on "Defend" for switching aura.
- Celerity Aura (Dummy) = ability based on "Trueshot Aura" to replace your "Celerity_Sfx (array)" variable because I don't feel like it is needed.
- Attack Speed Bonus (Celerity Aura) = Item ability that adds attack speed you mentioned earlier.

Variables:

All variables are kept the same except for Celerity_Sfx as I said earlier and a new variable group.
Celerity_RangeGroup (array) = because I want the range of my ability increases as its level increases, so have to create it and make it array.

A good optimization to your trigger would be to use a Real variable to represent the AoE per level instead of 5 separate Unit Groups.

Set Celerity_AoE = (825 + (75 * Celerity_Level)
Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
Unit Group - Pick every unit in units within Celerity_AoE range of Celerity_Point and do (Actions)

Why real variables
Edit: Wait, I just realize why, AoE use real numbers
I don't see Celerity_Level in real arithmetic

Convert Celerity_Level from Integer to Real

I just searched Hive Workshop and realized integer can be converted into real. Never know that, thanks a lot.
Should I repost the triggers or fix the one I just posted?
