Effect Help

[Superclaude]

Ok so, what i want to know is it possible to attach a special effect to an ability using the object editor.
I tried stuffs like Art - Special, Art - Effect but when i tried ingame they dont work.So thats what im wondering about.

 

[gameslayer001]

lol sorry but that was a little hard to understand, so you want to know where to put the special effect at? hmmm please rephrase that a little

but try Special Effect - Create effect at point, or unit, whichever... just look for it in actions

Is that what you meant?

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Or did you mean buffs? Like the buff of Drunken Haze is that you'll see an effect on the units after the spell has been cast. The buff is also the icon that you'll see in the lower center of the targeted units (very small icon).

I tried something like this but it didnt work:

• Assault Rifle
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Picked item)) Equal to Assault Rifle
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the weapon of (Triggering unit) using war3mapImported\Konstrukt_AssaultRifleEffektAttachment.MDX

 

[gameslayer001]

yea just do

event
Unit attacks
conditions
whatever
actions
create special effect at unit (with offset, to specify where the gun is)

(too lazy to put trigger code around that)

 

[Superclaude]

oh ok...but can it be for different items cuz i got about 6.
BTW i didnt find anything such as a unit attacks.theres only a unit is attacked

If you just pick an item...than use ability for the item that is based on aura, than you simply edit the buff.

 

[gameslayer001]

look in events and look for Generic Unit Event or something, the do A Unit attacks, should be something there, idk lemme look at it

 

[wolfman]

• Unit Attacks
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(attack))
  • Actions

Or try this

• Attack
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacking unit) has an item of type Your item) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of (Attacking unit) using your effect

I tried something like this but it didnt work:

• Assault Rifle
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Picked item)) Equal to Assault Rifle
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the weapon of (Triggering unit) using war3mapImported\Konstrukt_AssaultRifleEffektAttachment.MDX

attach it to left or right hand, not weapon.

First of all, find out how the default spell works. You should make a spell that fits your needs. If you did that, simply replace the effect arts with whatever you want.
If not that, then start with the triggers, and just so you know these triggers usually won't work with custom models.

 

[Squiggy]

When do you want to apply that effect?
Forever or just for an amount of time, like guy picks up something -> explosion?

 

[Superclaude]

No Not forever just when a unit attacks.
