Charming transports

[Mechanical Man]

Is there a way to make a charm (or other non-possession based abiilty) to be able to charm also bunkers and transports, of course properly changing all object data of the ability? I wonder if there is a way without triggers, I already have a solution with triggers.

Easy.. on the charm spell make the targets allowed allow structures and mechanicals.. =O

 

[Mechanical Man]

No, thats not working, I said I set targets allowed already. But I got the message Unable to target bunkers or transports.

i played around a little and apparently there is no way to do it without triggers, but as you say you already have a solution with triggers, i'd recommend you to use it

How about if you change the target to something else? Like a Ward?

Dummy spell + Triggers.

Stop being lazy.

Is not really being lazy, is just trying to be more tidy, ask Elenai

How about if you change the target to something else? Like a Ward?

Still doesn't work.

Ok, I'll go trigger way then.

You have to trigger it.

Make some base spell, that allows you to target structures and change ownership.

 

[Mechanical Man]

I based it on channel, that always works and there is no dilemmas mmhmmh what spell to base it on.

How to mark this thread solved?

Moderators do that, just write that problem is solved in the post.

i figure they disabled this because they don't want people stealing heroes. and they probably figured ppl not gonna wanna steal a burrow.

it's kindof a weak point, considering you can select hero inside zeppelin with f1 but it's the only point i can think of. that and i guess all the transports are all mechanical anyway it wouldn't make much sense to charm those.

btw i think it's kinda funny this thread is marked solved and people can't come in here to look at the solution. the system is a little whack.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Well it could still be some data field allowing to change it Anyway I figured it that it still are some changes that need to be made so in any case I would need triggers.

 

[SanKakU]

and those triggers are...?

can you list them? you got me curious.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Damn, I don't remember anymore what I meant with above post. Also you're a little late, eh? Triggers are just trivial, I used a dummy spell based on channel and a trigger that triggers when casted on the building and changes owner, one-liner basically, I don't think that is really need to post the trigger.
