[Spell] Doublecast!

[Allain55X]

HOW TO DO DOUBLECAST?
Hi to all hivers! I have a problem on creating a skill actually Im not a good skill creator through triggers but HOW DO I DO the DOUBLECAST skill like in DOtA. Gives a % chance to double cast a specific spell used. Like when you cast Firebolt and you have a Doublecast skill in 100% chance, it will cast the Firebolt x2! Like that, how do I do that?

 

[-Kobas-]

set integer i
if GetTriggerUnit() != your_hero then
     return
endif
set i = GetRandomInt ( 0, 100 )
if i < 25 then // 25% Chance

/*Create dummy unit
Add ability to it
Level up ability if needed
Order dummy unit to cast same ability on same target
*/

endif

if GetTriggerUnit() != your_hero then
     return
endif
set i = GetRandomInt ( 0, 100 )
if i < 25 then // 25% Chance

/*Create dummy unit
Add ability to it
Level up ability if needed
Order dummy unit to cast same ability on same target
*/

endif

Sorry but Im not used to JASS. Can you pls make it to Events/Conditions/Actions like that?

• Test
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Firebolt (Neutral Hostile)
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Blood Mage 0000 <gen>
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Random real number between 0.00 and 1.00) Less than or equal to 0.25
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) for 3.00 seconds the text: MULTICAST
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Add (Ability being cast) to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Set level of (Ability being cast) for (Last created unit) to (Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit))
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral - Firebolt (Target unit of ability being cast)
      • Else - Actions

Just fix variables, clean leaks, and edit constants.

I hope you know the Multicast mechanics in DotA, Kobas
It has a small interval in-between Multicast, like 0.20 second interval or something, you might want to add that (if thread starter really wants it like this)

Yeah, im not really for the Firebolt but in all skills! Because Kobas only showed me the Multicast in Firebolt. Im planning a Multicast that works for all skills

 

[defskull]

Remove these;

• (Ability being cast) Equal to Firebolt (Neutral Hostile)
• (Triggering unit) Equal to Blood Mage 0000 <gen>

It will work for all units and for all spells now since Kobas is using (Ability being cast) it will return as your casted ability, meaning that it will trigger for all spells and multicast for all spells.

Ah, the order string ?
You have to a bit JASS for this

Yay! Thank you very much defskull! Youve help me many times! MAYBE +REP to you!

Hey! Just one more tip! What skill should I base doublecast?? and I just remeber in DOta that it doesnt create a unit but casts it with more stronger but why is there a creat footman there?

 

[defskull]

That's what I said you need a bit JASS order from that, wait, I'm experimenting things over here.
I'll get back to this thread once I found out how.

 

[-Kobas-]

1st. There will be small delay, test this and you will see!
2nd I create footman here because function default unit is footman, you need dummy unit here, remove model, shadow and make it locust.
3rd. You should edit variables you can have different chance with different spell level or different ability/unit and so on.

Damn, I showed you way how to do it, it's up to you how will you polish trigger!

 

[Striker21]

LOL - Swearing MOD Detected! off of his head!
But he's DAMN right! you should figure out what "dummies" can do and then step up the "custom spells" designing
Dummy is a useless unit!! As a dummy guys would say
Dummy is something to lure birds away from cornfields <--000000-- I'm such a liar, just click here to learn

 

[defskull]

1st. There will be small delay, test this and you will see!

The delay is barely to be seen.
It is like a delay of 0.0001 second I guess.

Whereas each interval is 0.30 second per Fireblast (source: http://www.playdota.com/heroes/ogre-magi)

Uhhh... SO what skill should I base Doublecast?

Ok.... chill out plz. I know now! THANKS! +REP to you. That helps!

You still don't believe me.
Each spell just like attack has it's cast delay, firebolt will be fired at target after 0.27 seconds.

You can increase delay even more with wait 0.00 seconds.

 

[defskull]

Are you talking about same Dummy casting 3 times the same ability ?
Or 3 Dummy casting the spell at different interval ?

 

[-Kobas-]

Create new dummy and you will have your delay.
That 0.3 delay in dota isn't made on purpose, it's wc3 trigger bug or delay, or maybe even advantage it depends on how you look at it.

 

[Allain55X]

Im reffering to dummy casting 3 times the same ability.

Hey, Kobas! How can I make a Doublecast with multiple levels? Because you only show 1 level Doublecast.

 

[-Kobas-]

If level of ability = 1 then set CHANCE = 0.25
elseif level of ability = 2 then set CHANCE = 0.35
and so on
then just in if then else function in trigger above replace 0.25 with real variable CHANCE.

or you can use this calculation within it like this:

(Random real number between 0.00 and 1.00) Less than or equal to (0.10 * (Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit)))
You will need to convert integer to real if I remember right, but that's not big deal, 1 more click in gui.

Ah no problem, anytime.

Oh just like Aizen once said to Toshiro Hitsugaya.
"You should learn this well, Allain55X-kun. Admiration is the emotion furthest from understanding.

GUI is easy, just practice, read tutorials and explore resources like spells.
