Custom effect/abilitie/buff

[Craphter]

This is probably a noob question, but, how do i make custom effects/abilities/buffs?
I mean, i know i can copy & paste an allready existant abilitie, but, what if i want it to have certain things that the copied abilitie doesnt?
Im not sure if i've explained well, if not, let me know...

go to object editor, click on the "custom effect "custom ability" "custom buff" or any custom folder and just right click it, then click on "create a new custom <whatever you're making>"

 

[Craphter]

Well... i still have to pick a base effect, so, i repeat my question, ¿how do i make it so it has some things that the base abilitie doesnt?
And, ¿what a buff?
Thnks for the halp

I don't think that you can create a custom like that. I see what your saying. You want to create an ability completely from scratch so that you can decided what exactly you want it to do. Unfortunately you can't. You have to alter existing abilities by changing it's effect, buff, ect. Triggering plays a large role in creating fancy custom abilities as well. I hope this answer your question.

Yes, thank you Palermo1, but then, per expample in Dota, Faceless Void has a cutom abilitie, he creates a little sphere and stops time... i think the guys from DotA created that abilitie, since its not native on him... ¿how to do that? I mean, ¿are all spells on DotA native or aritficial?

 

[Palermo1]

That ability was altered in some way. I'm not sure what ability they started with but I bet it is mostly done with JASS. You know how to take abilities off heros and add new ones right?

 

[Craphter]

Yep, i do =)

 

[Lmao.Me]

Stopping time can be done with GUI.

 

[Craphter]

Oooh....
Well, thank you all.

Just add the unit(s) you dont want to be paused to a unit group.
Do the "Pause all units" thing and then "Unpause all units in NoPauseUnits group" or w/e it was.

 

[Palermo1]

You could also make a warstomp with 999999999999999 range and take the stun effect away. Make it hit allies and enemies if that's what you want. You can make it hit whatever you want.

 

[Craphter]

No no, i dont want any abilitie in special, just wanted to make my own...

 

[Lmao.Me]

Yer, but if it's a map like DotA, both of those time stops fail. As units spawn, they won't be effected...

 

[X-OMG-X]

you could make an *every 0.03 second pause all units*

 

[Craphter]

Ok, I repeat, I dont want to make that abilitie, just used it as an example...
