Custom spell based on Inner Fire; problem.

[Ramza]

So I got this custom spell, which I need to base on Inner Fire. But the problem is that, any time I cast this spell on a unit under the effects of Inner Fire, it messes everything up. Special Effects disappearing, spells not working at all, etc.

First I thought it was because both spells used the Inner Fire buff, but sadly, that's not it.

Is there a way to solve this?

You need to show us the triggers you are using for this custom spell.

Alright, here it is:

• Arctic Strength Add to Group
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Arctic Strength (Frost Mage, Glacial Mage, and Glacial Templar)
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Target unit of ability being cast) to ArcticStrengthTargetGroup

And another:

• Arctic Strength Add Frost Effect
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in ArcticStrengthTargetGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) has buff Arctic Strength ) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Add Arctic Strength Bonus to (Picked unit)
          • Else - Actions
            • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from ArcticStrengthTargetGroup
            • Unit - Remove Arctic Strength Bonus from (Picked unit)

It works perfectly, if the target units don't already have Inner Fire on them.

''Arctic Strenght Bonus'' is an item ability.

Is it necessary that both spells be based on Inner Fire?

Did you try this on any other 2 spells?

First of all, you add every 0.1 seconds the ability to the target. Do this:

• Arctic Strength Add to Group
• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Arctic Strength (Frost Mage, Glacial Mage, and Glacial Templar)
• Actions
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Level of Arctic Strength Bonus) Not Equal to 0
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Add Arctic Strength Bonus to (Target unit of ability being cast)
      • Unit Group - Add (Target unit of ability being cast) to ArcticStrengthTargetGroup
    • Else - Actions

• Arctic Strength Add Frost Effect
• Events
  • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in ArcticStrengthTargetGroup and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • ((Picked unit) has buff Arctic Strength ) Equal to False
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Remove Arctic Strength Bonus from (Picked unit)
          • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from ArcticStrengthTargetGroup
        • Else - Actions

If the problem insists, add an additional condition

• ((Picked unit) has buff Arctic Strength) Equal to False
• ((Picked unit) has buff Inner Fire) Equal to True

Maybe try this:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • ((Target unit of ability being cast) has buff Inner Fire) Equal to False
  • Then - Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Target unit of ability being cast) to ArcticStrengthTargetGroup
  • Else - Actions

Well, I need to add bonus damage percentage to the target units. I wouldn't know how to do it differently.

I tried something similar with Roar a few days ago, which worked fine (I believe :I ).



Thanks Pharaoh, I hope it works. Back in a few minutes.

Well, I need to add bonus damage percentage to the target units. I wouldn't know how to do it differently.

Use Cripple with negative value in the field "Damage Reduction" (to enter negative value, Hold Shift before double-clicking the field) and change Targets Allowed to Friend. If you want the buff to have its status "green-lettered", when typing the name of the ability, use green color: |c0033ff00Arctic Strength|r (Copy-paste it); by default, Cripple is an offensive ability, so, in the default wc3 platform, it is used only for enemies, that is why it will have a red-lettered status.

 

[Ramza]

Hm, that's a great idea. Better than those triggers, because a unit can now be under the effects of both spells.

And none of my other units in the game can cast Cripple, so no problem there.

Thanks!
