[Trigger] Entangling Roots Autocast

[ceredwyn]

Hey there,

I was in the world editor trying to make a Entangling Roots autocast ability based on Slow ability. Nothing special, just like the original Entangling Roots ability but autocast.

I make the dummy unit:



The dummy ability:



And make this trigger:

• Autocast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Entangling Roots (Dummy)
  • Actions
    • Set temppoint = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
    • Unit - Create 1 Night Elf Dummy for (Triggering player) at temppoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Entangling Roots (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint)

At first it worked well, but the problem is that even if the ability is at level 2 or 3, when the unit cast the ability the duration and damage will be the same if it were at level 1.

I don't know if something is missing in this trigger (or even in the dummy ability), but I don't know how to fix it. I'm really really really bad at triggers. So, can anyone help me?

I would really appreciate it, thank you!

Well that's because the level of the ability on the dummy unit doesn't change automatically.

All you need to do is add set level of ability (entangling roots) for (Last created unit) to level of ability (Entangling Roots (Dummy)) of (Triggering Unit), that way the ability of Entangling Roots will be on the same level as the slow


p.s. it won't look exactly like how I wrote it, but should be close enough for you to figure it out

More precisely, this function:

• Unit - Set level of Ability for (Last created unit) to (Level of HeroAbility for (Triggering unit))
