[????] Combo Points

[ChaosKnight]

Okay, this is a very complex and, maybe difficult question. Is it even possible to make a Combo Point system?? Rogues and Druids have it in WoW, i will tell you closer. It will have a Point stop at 5 combo point

Claw

Damages the target for 50 plus 20xYourLevel
Awards 1 combo point.

Eviscerate

Finishing Move: Eviscerate. Uses all of your current points at your target and damages equal to them

1 Points: 50-80 Damage
2 Points: 60-90 Damage
3 Points: 70-100 Damage
4 Points: 80-110 Damage
5 Points: 100- 150

As said, this is very complex. If someone is able to make it for me, or give the code or something like that. I will +rep you!

 

[Chewii]

i can try doing this

EDIT: Sorry i can't do so the combo points saves I can save it but not on the unit the caster did claw on. Sorry.. But its not impossible ^^ I hope someone else does it so i can look how he did it.

You can do it like that:

• Trigger0
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
  • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
  • Set Hashtable = (Last created hashtable)

• Trigger1
• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Claw
• Actions
  • Set Points = (Load (Key(points)) of (Key(Triggering unit)) from Hashtable)
  • Hashtable - Save (Points + 1) as (Key(points)) of (Key(Triggering unit)) in Hashtable
  • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast) dealing (50 + 20*(Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit))) of Attack Type Spells and damage type Normal

• Trigger2
• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Eviscerate
• Conditions
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Load (Key(points)) of (Key(Triggering unit)) from Hashtable) Greater than 0
    • Then - Actions
      • Set Points = (Load (Key(points)) of (Key(Triggering unit)) from Hashtable)
      • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast) dealing (Random real number between ((10*(Points)) + 40) and ((10*(Points)) + 70)
      • Hashtable - Save 0.00 as (Key(points)) of (Key(Triggering unit)) in Hashtable
    • Else - Actions
      • Game - Display to (Player Group (Owner of (Triggering unit))) the text "Not enough combo points."

Lets see if it works

Pharaoh_, What is the Points for a variable? And how to make it be like that?

 

[Pharaoh_]

It's an Integer. Then, when you are about to set the variable, choose "Hashtable - Load Integer Value". Then for the first Key, the default field says "Hashtable - Get Handle Id". Press that and scroll to the next one, "Hashtable - Get String Id". In the new window type "points" or whatever you want and press ok. For the next Key, find Triggering unit.

Can you please send a Demo Map?? This is to hard for me...

 

[Pharaoh_]

Just replace the (Animate Dead) and (Avatar) in the Ability comparison with the ability you want.

[ChaosKnight]

This is crazy, but you can use eviscerate even, when you havent got combo points on the target. Is it possible to fix?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Well, under the action "Game - Display to (Player Group(Owner....", add the action "Unit - Stop (Triggering unit)".

It doesnt say anything.

 

[Pharaoh_]

It works for me; I made two testing abilities: View attachment Combo Points.w3x

 

[ChaosKnight]

Now, it works, yes. I think it was the ability "Channel" who was messing with me +rep

 

[M0RT]

You could also detect issued command and stop the unit from even attempting to cast Eviscerate, if it has no combo points.
