Freeze unit on stun

[Drazhar]

Hey all. Would anyone lend me a hand in how to go about making a unit 'freeze' on a stun, as in a spell like bash, but whenever the unit gets afflicted by bash, ie stunned, the units animation speed is 0% meaning it's frozen until the end of the stun and then when the stun wears off the animation speed reverts back to 100%. + rep for help and suggestions.

You need a periodic trigger that constantly checks whether the unit has a stun buff.

Yes but how can I get it to check every unit all the time to see whether or not it has the buff. It's a passive ability so i'm finding it kinda annoying to track.

In simpler word, you want the effect of Bash for Darkterror The Faceless Void ?

Well I think you would need a Damage Detection Engine.

• Events
  • Time - Every .03 seconds of game time
• Actions
  • Set GROUP = Pick every unit in ...
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in group and do
    • do - Actions
      • If - conditions
        • pickedunit has buff (stun) equal to true
      • Then - actions
        • Animation - Set unit animation speed to 0
      • Else - actions
        • Animation - Set unit's animation speed to 100
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_GROUP)

but if you have another trigger that modifies animation speed this could cause bugs...

Not sure what you want but here my suggestion:

Use this system or use event "When unit takes damage"
http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=137957
Check boolean "If damaged unit having "Stun" buff == true"
Then action what you want.

As I've test, you may want this trigger.

• TEST
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Leave event to nothing and add event unit takes damage through other trigger --------
    • -------- Or set event to (real) GDD_Event become == 0 if you use GDD system. --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • ((Triggering unit) has buff Stunned) Equal to True
            • ((Triggering unit) has buff Stunned (Pause)) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Undead\FrostNova\FrostNovaTarget.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Issued order) Not equal to (Order(stop))
          • Then - Actions
            • Animation - Play (Triggering unit)'s (String((Current order of (Triggering unit)))) animation
            • Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s animation speed to 0.00% of its original speed
          • Else - Actions
      • Else - Actions
        • Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s animation speed to 100.00% of its original speed

Hope this is what you want (In the picture above, I haven't add special effect because it will be hard to see the animation.)

I see one problem with that, if the unit doesnt get attacked again after the stun buff is lost, its animation speed will remain at 0%...

You must stop unit .

pretty much.

Thanks for the replies guys. Adiktuz your trigger works well, shouldn't be any problems with it. + rep
