[Trigger] Force unit to cast ability

[Deleted member 177737]

I'm trying to create a boss fight for my map. But I can't seem to make the boss cast the custom ability's that were made for him.

Does anybody know the trigger that allows you to force the unit to cast a spell/ability.

(Yes Ive looked through most of the unit triggers)

Each ability has its own order string, IE: war stomp would be "stomp"
So it depends on what ability you based it off of.

Whats an order string?
I had someone else make the spells for me so I don't know.

Ask the person who made the spell, only way to know what they based it off of.

Order strings are found in the object editor, under the ability tab

force it with action likes unit - issues targeting a point/unit/no target

there you have several melee based spells where your custom spell is based on, if you order that action it will fire your custom ability

This just works the same as when you use dummy units to cast a spell.... or you dont know anything about dummy casters???? You use basically the same action just different events and units..

If you are using the normal WE or NewGenWE the orderstring is somewhere above the Tooltip (Ability-Use/TurnON)

Would it work if I just turn on the ability/spells trigger?, also the spells that there based on aren't in the options. (Its some passive aura ones...)

 

[baassee]

you can't fire a passive spell god damnit

use jass code to turn it on

dont know jass

Then add the spell you want to the boss using GUI (Add <ability> to <unit>)

 

[Deleted member 177737]

don't know how to use gui ether lol

 

[Kercyn]

There is a Unit - Add <ability> to <unit> action. Not too hard, I suppose. Just choose the ability you wish and your boss.

just create a trigger to make him cast it at certain events or something.. example..

• Event
  • Unit- Is attacked
• Conditions
  • Unit-Type Comparison - Unit-Type of (attacked unit) = BOSS
  • //add some other like mana check or something
• Actions
  • Unit- Order (attacked unit) to CastSpell on (attacking unit) //If the spell has a unit target

something like the above trigger for some simple things......
