[Spell] Double Attack Autocast

[weuser]

So, I'm trying to make this ability but I'm stuck and I've been trying for a few hours.

How the ability should work:

1. The hero turns on autocast of Second Strike (a modified searing arrow)
2. The hero melee attacks
2. A very brief attack cooldown period
3. The hero melee attacks again (the second strike)
4. A normal attack cooldown period
5. The hero melee attacks
6. A very brief attack cooldown period
7. The hero melee attacks again (the second strike)
8. A normal attack cooldown period
9. The hero melee attacks
ETC.......

(Each of these attacks costs 1 mana (through the searing arrow ability))

I need to know how to:

A. Make the second strike actually happened right after the first melee attack

and

B.Make the attack the second attack occur after a normal cooldown period

Thanks for your help!!

you will need to add an attack rate booster of 400% for the second attack and then remove it after the second attack for normal cooldown.

400% is the maximum attackrate boost a unit can get.

Yeah, I tried doing this by adding endurance aura on the first damage done to a unit by the Hero, then removing endurance aura and the buff on next damage done to a unit by the Hero. But it didn't work (first it wouldn't ever stop the fast attacking until i turned the autocast spell of; then, when I tweaked something, it would never start fast attacking).

I tried trigger with damage detection system because using Event: Unit Is Attacked didn't seem to work. I'll try this again, though and edit this post with the results.

EDIT: yeah, didn't work. here is the trigger i'm using:

1. Second Strike On

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
• Conditions
  • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(flamingarrows))
• Actions
  • Set OrcAssasincounter[0] = 0.00
  • Trigger - Turn on Second Strike <gen>
  • Trigger - Turn on Second Strike Off <gen>
  • Set u_OrcAssassin_wu[0] = (Ordered unit)
  • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

2. Second Strike Off

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
• Conditions
  • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(unflamingarrows))
• Actions
  • Trigger - Turn off Second Strike <gen>
  • Trigger - Turn on Second Strike On <gen>
  • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

3. Second Strike

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Is attacked
• Conditions
  • (Attacking unit) Equal to u_OrcAssassin_wu[0]
• Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • OrcAssasincounter[0] Equal to 0.00
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Add Second Strike Attack Speed Boost to u_OrcAssassin_wu[0]
      • Unit - Set level of Second Strike Attack Speed Boost for u_OrcAssassin_wu[0] to (Level of Second Strike Attack Speed Boost for u_OrcAssassin_wu[0])
      • Set OrcAssasincounter[0] = 1.00
    • Else - Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • OrcAssasincounter[0] Equal to 1.00
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Remove Second Strike Attack Speed Boost from u_OrcAssassin_wu[0]
      • Unit - Remove Endurance Aura buff from u_OrcAssassin_wu[0]
      • Set OrcAssasincounter[0] = 0.00
    • Else - Actions

btw, can you tell me how i post triggers in the prettier way?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Just add the item attack speed boost, its far less ugly and does not persist.

 

[weuser]

thanks for that info. changed.

also, i think i had a slight trigger logic problem that i figured out now. thx much!

congrats on winning that thing, btw; you really are helpful

To post triggers in a nicer way, write [TRIGGER[ (with the second wrap thing in the other way) before the trigger, and [/TRIGGER[ after the second.

this sounds a lot like the geminate attack of a hero from dota which is based on searing arrows and orb of lightning
