Fear System v1.1

[Dominus15]

Do you have a passive version? For example, a 20% chance to inflict fear on the enemy when the hero attacks, a 4-second duration at level 1, a 25% and 6-second duration at level 2, a 30% and 8-second duration at level 3, etc.?

You can easily do that with this system, just configure the passive ability activation events and then provide the configuration (refer to FearSystemExample for all configuration).

EDIT:
Oh yeah, check Untitled Trigger 003 in test map.

Could you tell me what triggers are needed for the passive fear system? I'm not interested in the cast one, and I don't want to copy other triggers to my map, please.

You need the entire Fear System folder and the Untitled Trigger 003 for a passive fear.

There is no casting from this resources, the only casting here is dummy casting the necessary fear debuff to allow the system to detect the unit properly and make the fear a dispellable via Dispel/Devour Magic.

EDIT:
Assuming you don't want the fear to apply a buff, which can confuse player on what exactly affect their unit, you still need the entire fear system minus the actions that involved buff and dummy unit.

Doing this means there won't be any means to dispel the fear with in-game abilities like Dispel Magic and Devour Magic.

If this is exactly what you meant, I can give the simplified code later.

I'd like it to be dissipable... Do I also import the indexer into my map? I've had lag issues with the indexers I used in the past, so I'm removing them from my maps.

Yes, you need Unit Indexer or Unit Event for this system. Alternatively, it can be done with a hashtable but that is another can of work I don't want to be involved with right now.

From my mapping experience, Unit Indexer shouldn't cause overload on a map.

 

[Dominus15]

Just those, or do I need more? Should I delete any? I just need them to be passive and dispelable with spells like Devour Magic, etc.

 

[Daffa]

Yes, just those and all relevant dummy units and abilities (Import Guide step 2)

Since I can't open the map in my world editor, I'm doing it manually and noticed that this function isn't in my editor, or is it? I'm using 1.27. Is there a way to replace this?

EDIT: I noticed there are also several messages to other players... is that necessary? Do they serve a specific purpose within the trigger?

You have to compromise with no buff not show fade time and have to remove buff manually for that.

As for messages, they are for debugging purpose and can be ignored.

You're leaking location when creating dummy in FearSystemConfig.

This is a lightweight and effective system that lets users add a fear mechanic to their map, where affected units will wander uncontrollably for a short duration. It performs exactly as expected.
