You'll need to use integers and a dummy unit. Trying to find the tut.

EDIT: Can't find it :s

EDIT2: I'll make a small example.
You'll have to prepare 2 abilities: The passive and active.

PASSIVE:
You can base this off critical strike (it's just for show). Just set critical strike chance to 0.

ACTIVE:
Base this one off of chainlightning. And make sure to set it's manacost to 0, else the dummy can't cast it (unless the dummy has mana for it.)

The order that you give the unit in the trigger needs to be the same that you based the ability of.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Is attacked
• Conditions
  • (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Type
  • (Level of Chain Lightning(Passive) for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
• Actions
  • Set Spell_Int = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • Spell_Int Less than or equal to 20
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Attacking unit)) at (Position of (Attacking unit)) facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
      • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Add TheSpell(Based off Chain Lightning) to (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Attacked unit)
    • Else - Actions
      • Do nothing

EDIT3: If someone can confirm that a tutorial that contains this hasn't been made, i'd gladly do it.

You could shorten the comparison

• Spell_Int Less than or equal to 20

by making it these,
Set Spell_Int = (Random integer number between 1 and 10)
-and-

• Spell_Int less than or equal to 2

Everything is ok but the type of veriable "Set Spell_Int" ???(real,integer)???

 

[sferling]

A did the trigger...they are like twins but....doesnt work...maybe i have a wrong in the dummy...

Spell_int is INTeger.
And make that

• (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Type

I changed it in the original post aswell.

EDIT: Added a map to my first post.

Set Spell_Int = (Random integer number between 1 and 10)
-and-

• Spell_Int less than or equal to 2

Which makes absolutely no difference, and he could also make it =1 between 1 and 5.

Also, you can use the 'Orb of Slow' ability with Chain Lighting attached and your chance inputted.

base the spell off of orb of ligning (new). change the purge to a no mana chain ligning.not that hard to do.
