Enemy spell casters

[corley]

Im having some trouble with an enemy hero spell caster. im making a few enemys that cast a few spells, and sometimes they dont cast spells, and other times they do but only when very very low on life?? i have given the enemys the abilitys, and at least 1 level on the point for the ability and full mana but still it seems very unreliable. IS there a special way to encourage them to use abilitys? i have tried triggers, but only a select few abilitys can be forced with triggers

• trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to unit which u want to cast that spell
    • (Life of (Triggering unit)) Less than 50.00
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add spell to (Triggering unit)
    • Wait 7.00 seconds
    • Unit - Remove spell from (Triggering unit)

if it is an heal spell u have to create a dummy unit wich cast the spell

i will give this a go, but is there a reason why sometimes the unit uses spells, and others it wont at all?

maybe u havent or have remove the meele ki its in map initialisation

in action u can also set order unit to

the computer will automaticly cast spells, if they're autocast. Look here, to see How to make any Spell Autocastinghttp://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6255

My Suggestion
Create an AI... wait its not mine /me dispels mind control on himself
ah yea
Make their abilities autocasting
Based on slow, curse etc
if your ability is firebolt
when someone casts slow create a dummy to fire firebolt

Sorry I couldnt explain well
I'll comeback when I have more IQ

i found a trigger order to do sth this will work too

 

[corley]

??? i dont get what u mean

 

[N8-11_GER]

i forgott sth "Unit- order to do sth"

 

[NO_exe]

i forgott sth "Unit- order to do sth"

thats right, but what event should he use??? For this Reason it would be easier to make the spell based on 'slow' and trigger(freehand)

event: a unit casts a spell
condition: casted spell = [the modified slow spell]
action: create 1 Dummy for owner of Casting Unit at position of target of abylity being cast)
Order Last created Unit to [the spell you want it to cast]

read the tutorial whose link I postet, there it is explained much better

i already wrote it^^ in an upper post

trigger
Events
Unit - A unit Is attacked
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to unit which u want to cast that spell
(Life of (Triggering unit)) Less than 50.00
Actions
Unit - Add spell to (Triggering unit)
Wait 7.00 seconds
Unit - Remove spell from (Triggering unit)

seems changing the unit from neutral hostile to an enemy player makes the hero cast normally
