Auto-cast spells need help!

[Elthanor]

I need help with a spell.

i want it so it acts like a gun. Like if i have a auto cast spell names Sniper, then My attack kinda changes. Like more range, dmg, but slower, also want something like Fully Auto, Gernager, SMG, stuff like that. Useing Auto-Casting

Or, can I do that with an Iteam? If im holding my item, it changes my attack.

THanks, hope someone can help!

Events:
Unit acuires an item
Conitions:
item = .....
Actions:
turn on: *the trigger beneath*

Events:
Elapsed game time is 0.01 sec
Conditions:
--------
Actions:
*the actions u want*

 

[Elthanor]

But is there a action trigger that changes the attack speed, range, dmg, add splash damage of the hero that picks up the weapon?

 

[Mini-Me]

No. You should consider replacing the unit when he accuires the item with another unit that looks same but has those improvements what you wanted, range, speed, dmg etc. etc.

Yah, I was thinking that, but if i have units that lv up, wont it be hard, with all the spells and stuff?

I think i got a solution, still working on it.

Is there a trigger that changes the unit but still keeps the spells and abilitys?

sfrry for double post, i was wondering is there a way to have it so if a unit enters it, its range does up, and being able to see farther, but when it leaves, its back to defult? :?:

Thats easy, u just use integer variables for the lvl and skill lvls.

enters IT? what it?

oops, srry about that. Here is what i ment to write

" i was wondering is there a way to have it so if a unit enters a REGION, its range does up, and being able to see farther, but when it leaves the region, its back to defult? "

Yah, that is what i ment.

I saw a trigger that you can set the acquisition range, is there a way to set it for depending on what lv skil you have? Like if i have a skill for a hero called "Increase Range" then everytime he increase the lv, his rannge goes up, how would i do that?

Thanks

U can only add range with WEU. With the normal WE u can only add acquisition range (Thats the range when the unit will detect other units)

As for the attack system, i'd recommend a trigger like this:

If a unit aquires an item (assuming only one item can be held at a time)

Conditions: none

Actions:
If item type of (item picked up) equal to (smg)

Then turn off (all gun abilities) for owner of triggering unit
turn on ability smg

Okay, i know, this has nothing to do with editor code, but it's the basic way the trigger can be set up (the way i use it in my map).
Basically, you make an ability for each attack type, give the unit itself no attack. Then if it aquires an item, enable the ability corresponding with the item, and disable any others. Make all abilites autocast (can use dummy casters for that, triggered) and you're done.

Replacing units often results in a lot of lag, i wouldn't recommend that.
