Fire Arrows Hero ability

sarumanthecursed · Aug 12, 2015

Hey I need help with making an ability it acts like the searing arrows ability for the Priestess of the moon except

Fire Arrows:

Level 1: Deal +10 damage to the attacks of this unit and deal 2 times the arrows damage to enemy structures ( 10 x 2 = 20 damage to stuctures)

level 2: +20 damage and 3 times the arrows damage to structures

Level 3: +30 damage and 4 times the arrows damage to structures

Get it?

any help with how the triggering of this ability would work, would be excellent I also need it to be auto cast and increase on mana cost by 10 for each level.

Remodelling the basic attacks is not that fancy but you can pick an arrow ability with a buff like 'Frost Arrows', adjust the targets so it affects structures as well. Remove the ability damage and make a trigger with the "Unit takes damage" event, ask for the existence of the buff on the target unit, remove the buff immediately afterwards and then deal the damage etc. as you like.

You need a Damage Detection for this, if the unit is not a structure, add +10/20/30 damage, if the unit is a structure add +10x2/+20x3/+30x4 to the attack

Hey >

thanks that looks exactly like what I need but can you if possible show me what the trigger would look like

You will need these two triggers, not tested it, so, report if you find any bugs, first make sure you have a Damage Detection implemented in your map.

Will test it out, thakn you! but what do you mean by "make sure you have a Damage Detection implemented in your map"

There may be a way to do this without a DDS, but I can't say for sure until I have access to an editor.

It's a system that detects damage, cause world editor itself doesn't have an event that detects when a unit is damaged/has attacked another unit, unless the targeted unit is a specific one, for a case like that - use "Damage Taken" event..

I use PDD, it is very easy to implement, just follow the instructions. Once you implement it, just copy my triggers in your map.

Going to install it but whats the point of this part in implementing the system

Copy the two custom abilities to your map and make sure they have the correct ID. You can specify the ID in the function InitGlobalVariables below.
• Go to the locust swarm ability and invert its damage return portion from (default) 0.75 to -0.75.
• Remove the spell damage reduction ability from the spell damage reduction items you use (runed bracers). You can configure the resistance of this item in the InitGlobalVariables function, modifying the global variable udg_PDD_BRACERS_SPELL_DMG_RED.

RobertMKD · Aug 13, 2015

Just follow the instructions

  - Set SunBlessedArrowDamage[2] = 3.00
  - Set SunBlessedArrowDamage[3] = 4.00

and

SunBlessedArrow

- Actions
  - Set SunBlessedArrowLevel = (Level of Sun Blessed Arrows Ranger General for PDD_source)
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (PDD_target is A structure) Equal to False
    - Then - Actions
      - Set PDD_amount = (PDD_amount + (PDD_amount + SunBlessedArrowDamage[SunBlessedArrowLevel]))
    - Else - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions

        Set PDD_amount = (PDD_amount + (SunBlessedArrowDamage[SunBlessedArrowLevel] x SunBlessedArrowMultiplyAmount[SunBlessedArrowLevel]))
        
        Else - Actions

But how will it know to be activated with this custom ability http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/members/229903-albums8377-picture100873.html

because that trigger how it is. isn't doing anything....

Wietlol · Aug 13, 2015

First of all that second trigger should have a condition which checks if the source has the ability or not and needs a condition to check if the damage was physical.

And just check if the target is a structure.
If not, then there is no need to check if it is not because you already know it is not.

About what that trigger does... it doubles all damage done to non-structures... no matter who attacked.
Because it adds the amount to the amount (meaning 2 X amount) and adds the damage from the variables to it.
However the damage from the variables is 2, 3, 4 and the multiplies from the variables are 0, 0, 0.

Get the first trigger right, get the second trigger right, place some "Game - Display <text>" actions in it to find out who the target and source are and if the damage is modified, then post all responses from the game and show new triggers.
(You copied the triggers correctly but they were made wrong. Not your fault saruman.)

Yep, need more triggers for this, a trigger that will add the unit to a unit group once it activates the ability and remove it once it deactivates it, so you will check in trigger 2 and give the bonus damage depending on the ability level..

Make your triggers just like these:

FireArrowSetup
- Events
  - Map initialization
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Set FireArrowDamage[1] = 10.00
  - Set FireArrowDamage[2] = 20.00
  - Set FireArrowDamage[3] = 30.00
  - Set FireArrowMultiplyAmount[1] = 2.00
  - Set FireArrowMultiplyAmount[2] = 3.00
  - Set FireArrowMultiplyAmount[3] = 4.00

FireArrow ON OFF
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
- Conditions
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Issued order) Equal to (Order(flamingarrows))
    - Then - Actions
      - Unit Group - Add (Ordered unit) to FireArrowON
    - Else - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Issued order) Equal to (Order(unflamingarrows))
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Unit Group - Remove (Ordered unit) from FireArrowON
        
        Else - Actions

FireArrow
- Events
  - Game - PDD_damageEventTrigger becomes Equal to 1.00
- Conditions
  - (PDD_source is in FireArrowON) Equal to True
- Actions
  - Set FireArrowLevel = (Level of FireArrow for PDD_source)
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (PDD_target is A structure) Equal to False
    - Then - Actions
      - Set PDD_amount = (PDD_amount + FireArrowDamage[FireArrowLevel])
    - Else - Actions
      - Set PDD_amount = (PDD_amount + (FireArrowDamage[FireArrowLevel] x FireArrowMultiplyAmount[FireArrowLevel]))

Sorry it's my mistake, I made these two triggers in a quick way, thanks for the heads up Wietlol.

Wietlol · Aug 13, 2015

That seems to be right to me, however still add the condition if the damage done is physical.
Just something that comes with that damage system.

It Displays trigger works but in game when attacking structures the ability only grant +10 to her damage

RobertMKD · Aug 14, 2015

Ah, you've made the arithmetic action in a wrong way. In this case, if the damage is 30, the hero will deal 30 + 10 = 40 damage, and then that will be multiplied by 2, which will make the hero deal 80 damage instead of 50, do the following:

Open the Integer window in the PDD_amount variable, choose arithmetic and put PDD_amount in the 'Value' field, leave the '+' as it is, in the other field, make another arithmetic, and then add SunBlessedArrowDamage x SunBlessedArrowMultiplyAmount

It should look like this:

(PDD_amount + (SunBlessedArrowDamage[SunBlessedArrowLevel] x SunBlessedArrowMultiplyAmount[SunBlessedArrowLevel]))

Do this for the other action same as this one.

I'm sorry but i'm so confused XD

this is how the trigger looks now but it still only deals 40 damage to structure when it should deal 80

Which part of the damage you exactly want to multiply by 2/3/4 ?

the bonus one you get (+10/20/30) or the whole damage (damage + bonus damage) ?

sarumanthecursed · Aug 14, 2015

oh now that I look at my original post I worded this in correctly I want it so that lets say the unit deals 20 then add the sun arrow damage bonus 10/20/30 which would then equal 30/40/50 and times that by 2/3/4 making her damage to buildings while the ability is in use 60/80/100

///hope this is clearer and sorry for my bad wording

Then Trigger 3 in this post should work just like you want it to, tell me more about your problem, how much damage does it deal?

sarumanthecursed · Aug 14, 2015

It deals her base damage 23 + 10 = 33 but it should deal 66 against the structure

//maybe I should just send you the map?

RobertMKD · Aug 14, 2015

Send me it, or a test one, just with the ability and the hero

here it is, the unit and two unarmoured lumber mills are at the red players starting position

RobertMKD · Aug 16, 2015

Here it is, I gave the new ability an editor suffix 'Working!!' it's the same ability but just based on another one.. You can remove the other one marked Not Working. Also, the trigger still shows some debug messages displaying the damage dealt, you can delete them in the SunBlessedArrows trigger

Fire Arrows Hero ability
