Got Problem

[redblack]

Got items that after use adds ability to you like thorn aura that works only on me, but some heroes in my map got more than 4 spells and this thorn ability repleaces some abilities after use for short duration. How to Add this ability without making it taking space in spell bar? I tried to remove icon but didn't work, icon was... but green. Here's Trigg:

• Active
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit using item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) = Barbed Armor
  • Actions
    • Set BarbedUnit = (Hero manipulating item)
    • Timer - Start BarbedTimer as a Jone shot‚ timer that will expire in 8.00 seconds
    • Unit - Add Barbed Armor to BarbedUnit
    • Trigger - Turn on Disactive <gen>

Second Trigger

• Disactive
  • Events
    • Time - BarbedTimer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove Barbed Armor from BarbedUnit

why do you complicate things so much? just use spellbook or a hero pet system, like a bag?, see my Dungeon Assault project preview for that...

It's dota like map, im not using spellbooks.

Try base the ability from Unit Ability ?
Add the ability normally through trigger
I think that Unit Ability doesn't show up on UI of Hero

Use spellbook to hide the icon

"How do i make this stuff work then?:
First of all, create a spellbook and call it something like "dummy" or whatever you want.

Now, go look at the field called " Data - Spell List ".
This is where you can edit what spells there should be in the spell book.
Remove all abilities there, and place your passive skill(s) in there.

After you've done that, go to the trigger editor and do following:

• Events
• Map initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
• Player - Disable <Your spellbook ability here> for Player 1 (Red)
• // Ofcourse do this for every player.

Add the spellbook to the unit you want to have the passive skill(s).
Now it suddenly got all the passive skills without any icon.

But, this is an item ability, when you activates it, the unit will gain Thorn Aura-like ability
Must he add SpellBook for EVERY Hero in the map ?
I'm guessing he's making AoS-style map

No, he don't have to add it to every hero.

*Uses Item*

*Add Spell Book to Unit*

*Wait until timer expires*

*Remove the Spell Book*

Use triggering unit, no need to over-complicate it, def.

I'm wondering if all the pre-set unit in Object Editor has to be equipped with SpellBook ability containing Thorn Aura dude....
Don't know it can manually be triggered =D

• Unit - Add Ability to (triggering unit)

ability being that spellbook.

EDIT:

• abil
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to (==) Sobi Mask
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add NEW Spell Book to (Triggering unit)

I used Acquires an item for the sole reason that it was quicker for me to do. Of course, if you choose an item that isn't passive, and you use it, it would be "Starts the affect of an Ability" instead.

Don't forget to add the ability you want to that spell book, too.

I've tested it, and it does work. Just remember one more thing, to hide the spellbook icon.
