The tavern is a unit that will not spawn the hero but turn into it how do i make the unit turn into a hero of your choosing.

[Adiktuz]

For every ability-hero pair, you need to add another if-then-else into the Else-Actions of the previous If-then-else...

how to make the part with the conditions?

 

[Adiktuz]

Go to Actions -> General, If-Then-Else Multiple Conditions

no i mean how to make the condition . Ability being cast is equal to ( how to make the missing part)

 

[rysnt11]

Use bear form, it's much simpler, make the option permanent, requires payment

 

[Adiktuz]

@rysnt11 - but you cannot have multiple bear forms in one unit... what he wants was to add abilities to the unit which will act as selector instead of using taverns...

@DoctorBanana - Don't double post please...

Ability Being Cast is on the Ability Comparisons

 

[rysnt11]

Okay...
I was wrong..
Then, use channel, like you said adiktuz, it needs triggering..

Can i someone help me with this condition? I can't countinue without it

 

[Adiktuz]

I said don't double postttttt...

ofc you cannot put a hero there coz its ABILITY COMPARISON... you need to make a dummy ability for each possible hero...

 

[rysnt11]

@doctorbanana: edit your post, merge it with the one above it, and delete the one below

 

[Brambleclaw]

Have units in a line and use charm. Or alternatly use Magical barrier and have a trigger which goes.

Abillity cast
Abillity = to Anti magical barrier
If Unit Cast on = to hero type unit
Then Create one Type of abillity cast unit at point of of casting unit
Remove casting unit.
Or something along those lines.

Charm i guess for you is the better option due to no triggering but instead requires a line of heros and means that you can have mutiple of 1 hero on a team. But even with charm you would have to remove the casting unit via a trigger.

 

[rysnt11]

Want a better solution?
Possession!
Target it to hero and...
Viola!
You get a hero selection system!

 

[Adiktuz]

well, he wants the unit to "morph"... anyway, I think its still easier to use taverns than this... as they both don't show you what the unit looks like...

 

[rysnt11]

Using possesion,It's morphed...
The banshee takes place over the body of the target

 

[DoctorBanana]

I said don't double postttttt...

ofc you cannot put a hero there coz its ABILITY COMPARISON... you need to make a dummy ability for each possible hero...

how do i do that?

 

[Adiktuz]

Just make one dummy ability based on Channel for each hero that you can have... read some tut about the usage of Channel...

whats a dummy ability?

 

[Adiktuz]

An ability which actually does nothing in itself... something used to trigger something else...

This is a little confusing, so how do i make the dummy ability?

 

[Adiktuz]

by making a new ability based on the Hero ability named Channel... you should first find a tut about Channel though, as it might be confusing for beginners...

AND DON'T DOUBLE POST... one more and I'll stop helping you...

sry for being such a burden , but i cant find a tutorial can you tell me in which menu,how do i create the ability?

 

[Adiktuz]

You go to the Ability menu on the object editor...

 

[DoctorBanana]

then what??? i press create new custom ability and then i get a selection of abilities. How can i create that dummy ability channel thingy??

 

[Adiktuz]

Pick Channel as a base ability... and don't delete, then repost... like DP it has a 48 hour cooldown, I have already been warned by an admin for doing that...

and what do i do with that ability?

 

[Adiktuz]

I suggest you just use Tavern... or take time to learn how dummy abilities are used...

okay ill find another way for choosing a hero :/

thx for the help anyway

 

[Adiktuz]

but mostly, you'll need triggering knowledge for all of them... also learning the basics of dummy abilities as early as possible will save you from a lot of trouble on the future...

can you give me link where i can learn?

 

[Adiktuz]

practice is the key... just browse the tut section for basic tutorials... if you can't find it there, try using google...

 

[DoctorBanana]

Is there any way to make a limit of heroes a player can have?

or no even better how to give all players a sertain amount of gold and lumber when the game begins?

 

[Adiktuz]

• Player Group - Pick Every player in All Players and do
  • Do - Actions
    • Player - Set PickedPlayer Gold to value
    • Player - Set PickedPlayer Lumber to value

 

[DoctorBanana]

how do i make the first thing? : Player Group-Pick Every player in All players and do

 

[Adiktuz]

huh? go to Actions then find Player Group

 

[DoctorBanana]

strange it doesnt work

 

[Adiktuz]

don't forget to remove the action on the init trigger which sets the player's default gold/lumber... it might be causing overrides... are you sure you made it the same way as I've set it up?

 

[DoctorBanana]

1st i removed it
2nd i did ALMOST like you did below the first action instead of do actions: it shows loop-actions

 

[Adiktuz]

can you post your trigg? and what happens?
