Crit Strike + Slow

[johannesr]

Is there anyway to Slow the target when a critical strike occurs?

 

[Anachron]

Trigger your critical strike, Or use a damage system and detect a critical strike, or something like that.

Normally I don't beleave this is makeable.

 

[Day-Elven]

Yes. And when you'll trigger a critical strike, you can also change unit's speed with triggers. Triggers --> Unit --> Change movement speed.

 

[johannesr]

Ok i guess i can do that, but i still need a dmg detection system to display the crit strike dmg?

 

[Day-Elven]

No it isn't required.

 

[johannesr]

Edit: Actually displaying crit dmg isn't that important, i can just display Critical Hit! or something. But how exactly do i create a crit strike via triggers? If i do this: Unit - Cause Attacker to damage Attacked, dealing ((Damage taken) x 2.00) damage of attack type Normal and damage type Normal

then it will do normal damage + the normal dmg x 2

You might have to depend on orb of lightning.

 

[terradont]

You cannot use (damage taken) for (attacked unit) as (attacked unit) triggers before the damage occurs.

It will show the critical message damage by default so don't worry.

No it doesn't... He's making a critical strike trigger, not a modification of the critical strike ability.

And you pretty much do need a damage detection system for this.

Whoops wasn;t reading all that well now was I.

Well do something like this:

- Event: Unit is attacked

- Conditions (all are true):
--- Unit is in range of 100 or something.
--- Conditions (any is true):
------ Attacking unit has spell critical strike (a passif spell that does nothing).

- Actions: Pick random integer between 0 and 100.
If it's below 15 x level of ability just deal unit damage x2 + show message damage taken.

It's late, I'm tired, and my wc3 shortcut is hidden in the menu so if this isn't possible then pardon me.
Basicly what I'm telling is to make a created critical.

 

[Eleandor]

That method has 2 problems:

1) "damage taken" is only useable in response to "specific unit event", not "generic unit event" and thus you'll need a more complex system
2) it could be heavily abused by repeatedly pressing "S" (stop). When the unit stops, it's immediately ordered to attack again, causing the trigger to run again. Someone with a fast hand could trigger the critical strike each second...

Conclusion: you need a damage detection system

just make new ability name it whatever u wonna crypling strike or whatever u wonna and make triger that when ability is used create dummy unit to cast slow to the targeted unit , that's the way maked on all maps

Critical strike is a passive ability, i can't make a trigger with "when ability is used".
Apparently i need a damage detection system, but all the good ones are in jass and i don't understand jass. The GUI ones are said to be sucky so i don't know what to do...

 

[Day-Elven]

You don't need critical strike ability if you make a critical strike by triggers.

Its in jass and i don't know any jass.

not possible in GUI.

 

[Day-Elven]

It's possible but it will leak too much.

 

[Zack1996]

I just thought of something, just create an ability based off Orb of Lightning. Then change the stats to whatever you like but make the field that says which ability you trigger to a frost arrow ability with no bonus damage. That might work but I am not sure

 

[johannesr]

Leaks aren't a big problem in single-player maps, are they?

 

[Anachron]

They are, even in singleplayer you can make your game unplayable with leaks.

Its just a metter of amount.

Just make the trigger in GUI, and them convert it to text after complete, adding the damage event...

Or learn jass, its not really difficult. I swear

QTF.

And btw, converting GUI into jass is the most sucky thing ever
