[Trigger] autocast ability

[Selphie]

how possible to make trigger spell on autocast ability...

 

[FriXionX]

If its for a building, i know. But not for a hero.

 

[Epimeliad]

erm you could just use trigger - ability - turn autocast on?

what do you mean?

 

[Epimeliad]

well for example event- a unit finish casting a spell
condition- spell cast = (your spell)
action- unit group add (selected unit) to (group1)
make (triggering unit) cast (your spell) on (group1)

 

[AKI_SER]

If you want a trigger to be executed when some1 is using an auto-cast ability like orb spells (poison/cold arrows) You should make 3 triggers
1st : enable the "2nd trigger" when a unit is issued a command to turn on auto-casting of an ability(there are special orders for every auto-cast abilities )
2nd trigger: when a unit attacks,check if it is the unit that you turned the auto-cast on
3rd trigger : when the unit is issued an order to turn off the auto-cast of an ability disable the "2nd trigger"

• Here ya go
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Issued Order) equal to (Order(slowon))
        • (Issued Order) equal to (Order(slowoff))
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True)then do(Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Issued Order) equal to (Order(slowon))
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit Group - Add (Ordered Unit) to AutoCastGroup
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit Group - Remove (Ordered Unit) to AutoCastGroup

• w00t
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • ((Ordered Unit) is in AutoCastGroup) equal to True
    • (Issued Order) equal to(Order(attack))
    • ((Target unit of issued order) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Ordered Unit))) equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Ordered Unit) to Human Sorceress - Slow (Target unit of issued order)

I changed my idea a lil bit
In these triggers I'm using the "slowon" "slowoff" "slow" orders,the thing is that you have to set your spell to have these orders in object editor,I think you know how to do this ^^.Hope this helps

What ability, exactly? An 'arrow' type ability (autocast enhances attack), or a buff ability?

 

[AKI_SER]

omg...Do you know anything about WE? did you set the order strings in the object manager in for the spell you want to be autocastable?
Losing my patience with all these explanations that I take 20minutes to make and at the end ppl use them for nothing cause they know shit about triggers and editing :/

ability gives bonus dmg to melee hero
dmg depends on str or agi of hero

 

[PurplePoot]

If it's an arrow ability, then you need to use the Unit is Attacked (or preferably damaged, if you feel like setting up damage detect) event. You also need to check to make sure that they have enough mana to trigger it.

can you show same example?

 

[spiwn]

Then, the is no need for such complicated triggering...
Just use searing arrows as a base ability, with 0 dmg.
Then make a trigger, Unit begins the effect of an ability
Check if it is your ability.

it works! after my hero mana become less than 18, that damage bonus is not appear. but, the problem come after this, this trigger totally wont work even my hero mana is more than 18......can you help me?

 

[PurplePoot]

l0git3c. off the top of my head, I don't see the problem.

Spiwn, arrow abilities don't fire oncast/effect/endcast.

Selphie, pretty much, see above (though that leaks..).

 

[l0git3c]

yea.....i though its leak too

you must use jass to detect damage i think...x(

 

[Selphie]

• Muscle Attack Auto Cast Active
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • MuscleAttackAutoCast[(Player number of (Owner of (Damage source)))] Equal to True

what type of condition you use?

 

[PurplePoot]

Boolean Comparison

 

[Selphie]

Boolean Comparison

i tried to make same by Boolean but can not
i dont have this "Player number of" in Boolean...

 

[l0git3c]

My "MuscleAttackAutoCast" is boolean with array type
