Help in % Chance to Cast Spells

[the_waning]

Hello to all. I was just wondering, how do you trigger a unit to have a chance to cast a spell when it attacks? Example, the Hero has a 35% chance to cast Chain Lightning when he attacks. Please also tell me how to increase its chances per level. Thanks

It's a trigger(something like 20 out of 100 thingy), I'm not the pro at triggers, but the chance thingy is not object data.

I think I explained thise before ones, but here goes another try to let you guys understand it, the only thing, you need is an integer variable, and lets call that chance to make things more clear.

With that done we are going to build the trigger, first we need the event that will trigger when our unit attacks

• events
  • If a unit is attacked

Then we need to check if the units is equal to the unit that has the spell, you can use a unit-type condition for it.

• conditions
  • unit type of attacking unit is equal to of "your unit type"

Then we need the set the chance (which should be 100% so you can use 35%)

• Set Chance = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)

Than following up to that we are going to make another condition like this to make sure it will only hit 35% of the time.

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Chance Less than or equal to 35
  • Then - Actions
    • Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Attacked unit)
  • Else - Actions

That would be it

Yes, that was what I was referring to but =( Im not good at triggers. Thanks for filling me in as well, warnico

once again i suggest that you do not use triggers. for example the above trigger will not work unless your unit has chain lightning.
find the spell "orb of lightning (new)", change the spell cast from purge to chain lightning and chance to whatever you want. then just give it to some unit and there you have it.

how do you trigger a unit to have a chance to cast a spell when it attacks?

if people prefer triggering, let them trigger. its their choice, and he clearly indicates that he wants a way to trigger it.

perhaps because 3/4 of the people out there aren't really aware that its better and easier with orb of lightning (new)...
