Help with passive

[strudle120]

Hi

I wanna make a passive ability wich has a percentage chance of snaring the attacked unit. This is what I have so far...

I would be very happy if someone could tell me what im doing wrong... I have 100 because I needed to test if I was just unlucky.

1. Add "Ensnare" to a dummy's abilities in object editor, not via trigger.
2. Make a variable of type integer.
3. Set it to a random number in the beginning of the trigger.
4. Make "if then else" action.
5. Move that highlighted condition to it, replacing "Random integer number between 1 and 100" with the name of your variable.
6. Move all your actions to the "then" section.

Try it.

All seems okay, but...
The mechanics itself, are you sure the hero has that ability ?
And it is equal to 1?
And are you sure you attacked a Hero unit ?
Are you sure you put a correct dummy ability to correct dummy unit ?

Try increasing the Ensnare range up to 999999.

 

[mckill2009]

use triggering unit rather than attacked unit...
make greater than 0 instead of equal to 1...
leak at the "position of blahh blahhh"...

also when you make passive ability, try...

• (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to ((LEVEL OF YOUR ABILITY )) for (Triggering unit)) x 10)

 

[strudle120]

Okay I tried what you said and its still not working... im gonna add a variable for the location of the caster.

Anyways... now it looks like this:

*100 is still there so that I will be able to test if the spell works or not.

 

[Elvendan]

Could you please post your map here so we can take a look?

 

[strudle120]

Sure here it is...

Look under the Dummy spells tab in order to find it.

My WE is unable to open it. Did you protect it?

Make sure you used the same "Ensnare" in all conditions and action. I recommend you to change it's name because there's three default "ensnares" in WC3.

The ability Ensnare has a requirement - you need to research it to be able to use it.
Just remove the requirement in object editor: Techtree - requirements.
Also this line

• FireEnsnare Less than or equal to ((Level of Fire Catcher for (Triggering unit)) x 100)

returns false since you're checking the triggering unit/attacked one.

 

[Elvendan]

Yes, this is also necessary. Because I made the same trigger and it works normally.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Is attacked
• Conditions
  • (Unit-type of (Attacked unit)) Equal to Raider
  • (Level of ensnare FOR SURE for (Attacked unit)) Greater than 0
• Actions
  • Set snare_chance = (Random integer number between 0 and 100)
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • snare_chance Greater than 1
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 dummy for (Owner of (Attacked unit)) at (Position of (Attacked unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
      • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Raider - Ensnare (Attacking unit)
      • Unit - Add ensnare FOR SURE to (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Add a 1.50 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Else - Actions

 

[Garfield1337]

What is necessary? You didn't change anything relevant in your trigger
EDIT: Oh, you mean the requirement.

 

[strudle120]

Thank you all for the help ive gotten... it works perfectly now. Now I can sleep well

I wanna thank you all again for taking the time to answear my question.

 

[Elvendan]

Garfield1337, sorry for my hurr durr english. I meant that removing Techtree - requirements was necessary.

Glad it works now!

 

[defskull]

I said so
The trigger is supposed to work as they should
The problem lies with the mechanics
Like "forgot-to-remove-requirements" etc

I guess you don't know what mechanics mean then D:
