[Trigger] Attack

[cHeRoL]

Hi!
I was wondering if someone know how to make this one.
A hero can't attack without an item.
If hero aquires that item he can attack.

There are several orb items in the game already.
They have orb abilities. Those abilities enable attacks. For instance attack 2.
Make your unit. Set up its stats and set the attacks enabled to none.
Then make the ability and set the attacks enabled to attack 1.
Done.

I am confused

For instance Orb of lightning.
It is an item present in melee games.
By default it enables attack 2 of the unit that has it. In melee games that is an attack that can target air units.

Now, if you make an ability based on that, but it enables attack 1. Then make an item and add that ability to it.
Then make a unit(unless you already have one) and in the Object editor go to the unit, the field that says Attacks Enabled and set it to none.

And that is about it.
Or you can do it with triggers, but this is far simpler.

Thanks spiwn.

EDIT: I can change the animation of unit when he is attacking?
Ex: Peasant and when he is attacking Rifleman.

Just for the case that this isn't working...

• E: A unit is attacked
• C: <Attacking Unit> has not <your item>
• A: Order <Attacking Unit> to <stop>

Should work

the buffer delay in wc3 by default is .25 seconds and as such this will cause a loop (and a funny animation) by any unit that attacks without the item, if there are only a few units this will be okay, but for an RTS style game this will mess plenty up (units wont be able to run away unless told to)

 

[cHeRoL]

Is there any way to change the animation?
Ex: Peasant is attacking and I want to change his attack animation into Rifleman animation.

 

[spiwn]

Hm I am not sure, as I never really used those orb skills

The orb abilities modify the missile art.
But I am not certain if they will modify the art of attack 1. I am certain they will for attack 2. But there is no way to change the animation with them.
Though if the model your unit has the proper animations, you can make a trigger like this:
A unit is attacked
Play Attacker's alternative animation

Edit:
YO, 1000 post

 

[cHeRoL]

Not to change the animation with them,I mean without orbs.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

a peasnant can't play a rifleman's animation unless it has the animation, in which case the model would need to be edited.

No, but there is amodel with 40 animations here at hive. It is my Favorite model.

Its just a normal villager.
