Help with orb effects please >_>

[GoGoTauren]

Long story short, I have a custom ability based off of the item corruption one. It places a custom buff which I need for triggers.

This ability is added to everything when it enters the map, there is a problem though. For some reason it doesn't work for ranged units and its messing my triggers up.

I know there has to be some way to make corruption work with ranged, but it isn't at the moment >.<

Anyone that tries to help will have their efforts commended

Orb of Corruption surely works with ranged, or else Ranged Hero's couldnt use it in standard games.

However if the unit has artillery or bounce type attack, then yes it wont work.

 

[GoGoTauren]

:L I know, thats why this is annoying. Its bugging with more than one type of ranged unit, and everything has the same trigger adding the corruption ability.

Are there any known bugs, dependencies, collisions etc?

EDIT: The units have no other abilities or items, and their attack types are set to missile.

 

[Kino]

Well you might wanna check the cast range.
Other than that I know it doesnt work with attack types that not Normal or Missile type.

You can only have one orb ability at a time, do you have another one on the unit?

 

[WarManta]

I'll try but could I see the map you have this done for melee units?

 

[GoGoTauren]

Range is applicable? Maybe thats the problem... I'll upload the map if this doesn't work.

EDIT: yeahno :/ Map incoming.

FOREWORD: if you didnt gather the trigger is a damage detection thingo.

EDIT2: oh stupid stupid stupid >< The buff is being placed alright, I tried changing the duration from 0.01 seconds to 5, and it showed up. It may be faulty triggering on my part, however, it still works perfectly fine on melee units, its only the range thats being stuffed up. Another problem, is actual spell damage (from heroes, havnt tested bosses) doesn't show up in any form.

Either of those two would be greatly appreciated if fixed. Another thing is the DD trigger itself is kind of a mess, if anyone could advise a better structure for it then I would appreciate it.

Relevant triggers:
DD, crit gore etc etc etc - The damage detection trigger
Unit Reg - Adds the corruption ability
Init - Adds coruption to all pre placed units (most of them..)

Also:
the ability is an item one by the name of Attack.

Im off to bed, thanks all. Ill check this tomorrow

Well Im guessing if the cast range of the orb is lower than the units attack range it wont work.

bump >_>

It worked perfectly fine when I tested both the melee and ranged.... what seems to be the problem?

By using a buff to detect damage, it will be very easy to detect spell damage...
All you have to do is a condition that is something like if this unit has this buff equal to false detect spell damage otherwise physical damage and ranged seem complete in your map but you need to just add a little more to detect spells.
