Barbed Armor - Item Help

[redblack]

I'v made an item, but this not work:
Item that after use gives a Thorn Aura to yourself and every units attacking you takes 100% damage return. Lasts 8 seconds.
I did item with Thunder Clap ability (Dummy Ability)
Triggers:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit using an item
• Conditions
  • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) = Barbed Armor
• Actions
  • Set BarbedUnit = (Hero manipulating item)
  • Time - Start BarbedTimer as a one shot‚ timer that will expire in 8.00 seconds
  • Unit - Add Barbed Armor to BarbedUnit
  • Trigger - Turn on Disactive <gen>

Disactive:

• Events
  • Time - BarbedTimer expires
• Actions
  • Unit - Remove Barbed Armor from BarbedUnit

Try using

• Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Barbed Armor
  • Actions
    • -------- your actions here --------

Barbed Armor is INDEED an IETM Stanley, not a skill..

Barbed Armor is INDEED an IETM Stanley, not a skill..

Item skills are spells too.
So you have to use Stanley's way.

I always use

• Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

even for items, and don't see any problems.
I know that Berbed Armor is an item but items have abilities too and they are called abilities. So if you cast an ability it doesn't meters if its used in item or spell.

I think you should use an ability which doesn't have a casttime/castanimation. The original Barbed Armor doesn't have a cast animation and is rather instant to activate.

Uh and if you are in fact taking the one from HoN then the damage is only 80%

Well then, he's got another work to do . . .
To add the spell INTO the item to be able for the trigger to work and it's time-consuming
Why don't he just use that Event ?
Anyway, both way works the same I think

I think the problem is:

• Unit - Add BarbedArmor to BarbedUnit

Use this:

• Unit - Add BarbedArmor to (Hero manipulating item)

You must first put a Condition regarding the item so that is specifies it

but he did this...

Set BarbedUnit = (Hero manipulating item)


anyway, WHAT IS NOT WORKING? its not giving the ability? or what?

I suspect that it's because you have your "Disactive" trigger (which should be "Deactivate") not initially enabled. You don't have to turn it on in-game. Anyway, I made it MUI, here:

function Trig_Barbed_Armor_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean //The item id.
    return GetItemTypeId(GetManipulatedItem()) == 'I000'
endfunction

function Ability takes nothing returns integer //The Thorns Aura spell book.
    return 'A002'
endfunction

function Duration takes nothing returns real //The duration.
    return 8
endfunction

function RemoveAb takes nothing returns nothing
    local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
    local integer id = GetHandleId (t)
    local integer abilityid = Ability()
    local unit u = LoadUnitHandle (udg_B_Hash, id, StringHash("unit"))
    call UnitRemoveAbility (u, abilityid)
    call GroupRemoveUnit (udg_B_Group, u)
    call FlushChildHashtable (udg_B_Hash, id)
    call DestroyTimer (t)
    set t = null
    set u = null
endfunction

function Trig_Barbed_Armor_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
    local boolean b = IsUnitInGroup (u, udg_B_Group)
    local timer t
    local integer id
    local integer abilityid
    if b == false then
        set abilityid = Ability()
        call UnitAddAbility (u, abilityid)
        set t = CreateTimer()
        call GroupAddUnit (udg_B_Group, u)
        set id = GetHandleId (t)
        call SaveUnitHandle (udg_B_Hash, id, StringHash("unit"), u)
        call TimerStart (t, Duration(), false, function RemoveAb)
    endif
    set u = null
    set t = null
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Barbed_Armor takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( t, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_USE_ITEM )
    call TriggerAddCondition(t, Condition( function Trig_Barbed_Armor_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( t, function Trig_Barbed_Armor_Actions )
endfunction
