Demolish not working so pisseed

[Dougletron]

I have remade the Demolish ability gave it a 10% chance to proc for 30 times normal damage on buildings. Gave the ability to a tower/building. It never procs. The world editor is pissing me off. I've spent loads of time on this and its so silly because there's no reason it shouldn't be working...

what do you mean by "to proc"

 

[Super-Sheep]

what do you mean by "to proc"

Proc - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft

 

[Dr Super Good]

By proc I take it you mean procedure. As WE has no procedures it is logical it will never have one. If you mean process, all spells are procesed on map load, thus even your spell will be processed, you can not give a spell a 10% chance to be loaded on map load.

by Proc he means Processed Randomized Occurrence (I believe is what Proc stands for if i remember correctly... either way its used to mean "chance on hit") Edit: Upon checking his link, i guess maybe i was mistaken and it does stand for procedure, dunno where i heard the above - either way its still meant to mean chance on hit.

As for why its not working, I'm not sure. I'll play around with it in my editor and see if I can get it to work.

Edit: I just got mine working.

in Abilities > Demolish, I changed:
Data - Chance to Demolish to 50%
Data - Damage Multiplier (to buildings): 30.00

I then made a bunch of ziggurats and a tinker that could use robo-goblin at lvl 1. he did 10 dmg per hit a few times and then he did 300 damage.
I'll try it at a lower percentage, and see if for some reason it breaks.

Edit 2: Still works for me at 10% proc rate.

I think it has something with Gameplay constants and buildings using abillities. Check in gameplay constants if theres something called "Buildings can Demolish" or "Buildings can cast spells".

 

[Djinn1995]

ehhh didnt he say he added ability to tower not a unit like tinker?

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Yes he did, thats why i think theres a constant that makes the building unable to proc.

ahhh, I totally missed that part. damn >>
