Custom Skills with 'something'

[Darchrow]

I just wanna ask a question. :

How did some Map Editor create a minus variable?
Example : Death Knight's Unholy Aura if being minused will be a Slowing Aura that reduces enemy's HP.
Or Endurance Aura became an ultimate slower aura.

How did they create some minus action?
Example : An equipment that can slow the wielder but deals a huge damage

Do they use JASS? Or just trigger? Or just a typo on the Skill?

How does a Leap and Toss skill(anybody played DotA?) work?
Example : An enemy had been hit then throwed like an arch
Or
Our hero can jump like a frog(Like Diablo 2's barbarian)


Thanks a lot!

For negative values, set ur preferences to allow negative values in editor.
No nid for triggers and jass, only if u want more complicated spells rather than just auras.

For the leap/toss, there is no easy way to make this than to trigger or jass it all the way. It depends if you want it uneffecient and possibly laggy but looks good(angled arcs where the unit moves through) or just a effecient spell(raise unit, move to location, lower unit).

If you want a leaping unit, there is a way to do this just by editing abilities w/o using triggers or jass. If found that spell somewhere back in wc3search(the spell with 5 jumping footmen that can jump over obstacles).

Where can i find the jump spell?

Where can i edit the negative value? I searched it at Advanced/Gameplay Constant and where's the right string?

1) Non-triggered/JASS jump spell : http://wc3sear.ch/index.php?p=Spells&ID=1398&sid= .

2) Go to Files-->Preferences-->Allow negative real values in the Object Editor.

 

[Dr Super Good]

For negitive values, do what the people above said THEN hold shift while opening the number in the object editor then change it to a negitive, it WILL allow virtually no limate to the size of the number.

The only problem with shift, though, is that it can cause crashes (eg. Max Hero Level in the gameplay constants set to 500000000000000000000 (you get the point) or so, will cause a crash during Map Initialization.
