Auto-Attack

[Ardnived]

Does anyone know of an ability like Searing Arrows (with auto-cast) but it doesnt require you to have a normal attack.

hmm I don't know if there is an ability but you could trigger it.

Smth like

trig1
unit begins efect of an ability
= auto cast
turn of this
turn on trig 2 and 3

trig 2
unit attacks a unit
attacking unit = unit with auto cast
then here you do actions like some special efect and more dmg

and triger 3
unit begins efect
= auto cast
triger turn on triger 1
turn off trig 2 and turn of this

 

[Ardnived]

If I am using unit attacks as a event then the unit would have to have a normal attack, so that doesnt work.

I want a auto-cast ability so I can make them switch between different attacks (changes in dmg, speed, range) but I dont want to do that stupid unit changing thing.

 

[bounty hunter2]

So can you maybe try the event left clicks a unit? I think that exists. And then you can change the type of attacks after each one is started.

 

[Squiggy]

I think 'Faerie Fire' is what you're in search for

 

[Ardnived]

yes left clicks is an event, but what do you mean by change the type of attacks? and after what started?

and even if I make them cast the spell when they left click ont eh unit they wont keep casting, it would end up more like diablo

@squiggy

I'll take a look

 

[bounty hunter2]

So as I said smth like this:

Unit starts the efect of an ability
= ability1
trig - turn on 1 and 2

trig 1
unit is left clicked
trig turn on kill
set x = left clicked unit

kill
every 1 second
if x is in region around her
play spell animation
special efect on x
dmg x

dunno smth like that if you get on what I am aiming

 

[Ardnived]

Okay, I guess I'll try that though it probably take a while for me to get it right

@ squiggy

unfortuneately faerie fire doesn't deal damage just armour reduction

you could just trigger it to do damage can't you?

 

[Blaxor]

but you can trigger the damage... there is a action called "Unit - Damage Target" so there is no reason why you couldn't use the faery fire ability..

 

[Ardnived]

actually that true I could do that and it would be a lot easier than the other way.

I'll try it and get back

 

[M0RT]

Using Metamorphosis would be MUCH easier for this. Just create two units and a single ability to switch between them. If you need three modes, i posted a solution there

Phoenix Fire, except you can't turn it off and I believe there is no damage type option.

 

[Ardnived]

no because that would attack even if you were moving and not actually attacking
