1. How can I add / remove a Weapon to an Unit or from an Unit?

Add: Attachments.
Remove: Alpha-ing of the texture.

 

[RuffyDX]

How? I know that but i don't know the exact way to implement this^^

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Just ask any mapper (except me) how to do the attachments trick.

For question 2

Make a simple trigger like this:

• Demo trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to [Your ability 1]
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to [Your ability 2]

You have to use a ability that does not need a target to avoid hard triggers

NOT BIG CHANGES BUT( ITS FOR DEBUGING)

I think it will stop the first casted spell that way. well depending on the spell.

How can I Choose my own Spells...?

 

[Dumbdumb36]

For the attachments, use item abilities, like capture the flag ability. You'll figure it out from there... took me for ever to figure it out on my own lol...

New Question:

How Can I change an active Ability to an passive Ability (like Mjollnir in DotA - The Chain Lightning effect)?

 

[nerovesper]

Actually dota's mjolnir uses Orb of Lightning (new) ability

create an ability based on chain lightning and another one based on Orb of lightning (new)

then set the setting of Orb of lightning (new) to:

Set all chanes to hit to 100 "if you want a 100% hit to the units, in dota's case I think the chain lightning's percent is 20% then set it to 20"
Chance to hit heroes: 100
Chance to hit summons: 100
Chance to hit units: 100
Effect Ability: "the new Chain Lightning"
Enabled attack index: 1

This ability is also used for anub'seran's Geminate Attack by basing the effect ability to searing arrow with no bonus damage. you can add cooldown to the Effect Ability spell so that it will become a passive ability with cooldown. Just an addition. Be creative with the spell but disadvatage of this that it is orb effect...

btw don't forget to remove mana cost on the chain lightning so it doesn't uses mana when used.

 

[MetaKnight]

For weapons,
copy the orb of lightning ability. Edit the atack bonus, remove the units allowed.
Replace the target model with the sword. At atachment point write hand,left or head or body or back or overhead etc.
