[Trigger] Aura Trigger

[the_waning]

Hi , it's me again. I want to make an Aura which will give friendly Heroes a percent to cast again their last casted spell. If this is not possible to do as a GUI Trigger, please inform me ASAP.

Thats actually not to hard...
basically all you have to do is set a number to random which is equal to the percentage of chance your aura has

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • ((Triggering Unit) has buff [TheAuraBuff]) Equal to true
• Actions
  • Set abi = (Ability being cast)
  • Set chance = ([COLOR="Green"]Random integer number between 1 and 2[/COLOR])
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • chance Equal to 1
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Reset ability cooldowns for (Triggering Unit)
      • Wait 0.50 seconds
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • abi = [a certian spell that the unit has]
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Order (Triggering Unit) to [COLOR="Red"]Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning[/COLOR] (Triggering Unit)
        • Else - Actions
          • Do Nothing
    • Else - Actions
      • Do Nothing

Mmmkay now to explain a bit
"Percentage of Chance"
The random integer is dependant on the chance of the abilty being cast
Ex: 50% chance of double cast, then set random int between 1 and 2
Ex2: 25% chance of double cast, then set random int between 1 and 4

----------------------------------------------------
"Order String and Targeting"
Now we use the cast far seer because the abilty you made might be based off the ability or have the same order string..

Now if we have something different like if you based your ability of shockwave then you would use:

• Unit - Order (Triggering Unit) to [COLOR="Red"]Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave[/COLOR] (Target point of ability being cast)

You would use that because shockwave has a different order string and requires a target point instead, so you wouldnt use, order unit target...
---------
But now if you were using a spell based off thunder clap then:

• Unit - Order (Triggering Unit) to [COLOR="Red"]Human Mountain King - Thunder Clap[/COLOR]

You'd use no target this time because thunder clap doesnt require a target

Mmkay hopefully you get it, sorry if you alreaady knew all the stuff about order string and targeting and stuff... i just wanted to make sure you get everything =]

What if I want to apply this to different spells? Is it better to make several copies of the trigger or put them all in one?

Umm im not too sure what you mean, but if you mean like itll work for 3 different spells then just copy and paste this part for every spell you want it to work for:

• If - Conditions
  • abi = [a certian spell that the unit has]
• Then - Actions
  • Unit - Order (Triggering Unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Triggering Unit)
• Else - Actions
  • Do Nothing

that way in the end it should look something like this

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • ((Triggering Unit) has buff [TheAuraBuff]) Equal to true
• Actions
  • Set abi = (Ability being cast)
  • Set chance = (Random integer number between 1 and 2)
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • chance Equal to 1
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Reset ability cooldowns for (Triggering Unit)
      • Wait 0.50 seconds
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • abi = [a certian spell that the unit has]
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Order (Triggering Unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Triggering Unit)
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • abi = [a certian spell that the unit has(diff spell)]
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Order (Triggering Unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave (Target point of ability being cast)
        • Else - Actions
          • Do Nothing
      • Else - Actions
        • Do Nothing

Just copy and paste, change up then it should work =]

Ok thanks

Never use "do nothing" since it does NOTHING what so ever, rather leave the area blank.

Instead, store the caster's CURRENT ORDER, and simply use that. You don't need those multiple conditions. They would make your trigger freaky long...
