Buff leveling...

[mckill2009]

SOLVED!

Is there anyway to detect a leveling buff without doing it in object editor...

I used this code and it doesnt work...

local integer levelbuff = GetUnitAbilityLevel(u, 'B000') 
call BJDebugMsg("Buff level is " + I2S(levelbuff))

You can get the ability level of the ability which uses the buff, but not the buff itself (it will return 1, when the buff is present)

now that's sad...I guess I must do it in object editor, 5 of them...and yeah its always 1...

 

[Adiktuz]

or you can use buff systems...

Custom systems are always a solution when the built-ins don't work. Aside from the icon, the entire thing is programmable in mere JASS. What is it that you'd like to happen?

OK, when the caster casts an ability appears a dummy which has an aura,
it will follow the caster using GetUnitX and GetUnitY (coz I dont want to
make another ability for the caster)...

Now if a unit (the unit that has the aura) kills an enemy, it will have a
chance to create a random item based on the level of the buff or the aura's level...

I already set the dummies and alike but the problem is I cant get the level
of the aura when a unit kills an enemy...

edit:
I made 5 buffs & it doesnt work either...

since its just a dummy aura, why not just add the aura to the target? (you can make one based on Slow Aura so that it won't show on the UI)

 

[mckill2009]

No its not a dummy aura but "a dummy which has an aura"...

But wait, you mean the enemy?...never tried that, will it work?...

Ima post the code here, gonna retouch it first...

 

[Adiktuz]

it was still a dummy aura since it doesn't do anything by itself...

I mean, if it will only stay on one unit, you could just add it to the unit itself, but if it will affect lots of units then, you could maybe filter out the unit around them which actually has the aura ability...

 

[mckill2009]

Hmm, I have an idea...pick every unit around that hero then make a hashtable, save it as an integer = level of ability of the hero, then get the handle id of the killing unit then load it...in theory it will work but ima try it also ...in this manner I dont even need the aura...

 

[Adiktuz]

Well, if you could settle with it affecting units on cast only, as opposed to the style of auras... and if you could settle with it not showing any buff data on the unit...

 

[mckill2009]

It will affect every unit when the hero walks around and as long as the spell last...thanks, Ima use "gethandleid of the killer AND killer has aura"...

oh... a timed loop...

EDIT: Hey it worked dude...
