[Spell] Help with triggered chance on hit spells.

[digirider]

so im new to hive / map making in general and i need help with 2 spells i want to do. im almost positive i can do them both from the same ..whats the word, idea?

1. i want to make a chance on hit chain lightning. which i think i kw how to do (not using orb of lightning, to glitchy). but i dont know how to adjust the lightnings damage when it procs , or edit the actual jump times / range. as its a preset spell from far seer. ( my object editors far seer's chain L had its name changed a while ago.)

2. i want to make a chance on hit chain lightning that when it procs it sends a chain lightning to ALL units in a aoe around the atttacker, and i dont know how to go about that, ive done some trial and error..but no luck. note : i dont want a nova, i want to make a chain lightning be targeted on every unit, im going to have to use dummy units im aware of this..

This is what i have for chain lightning, is this ok? i tested it and it works how i want, i just want to kw if i can change the spell it uses (orc far seer) into a custom one. or if there is another way to edit the chain lightning properties.

I think editing the % of damage lost per jump isn't possible with object editor, maybe though. To get a custom % reduction per jump you might have to go 100% custom with the spell. (Meaning that you will have to trigger out the whole thing and during the damage phase it gets calculated out.) Or you could make a copy of the spell "Finger of pain" change the lightning effects to chain lightning, change the damage to w/e. You can give the dummy units.

im not much concerned about % lost per jump, and the only way to do a custom spell 100% i kw is with orb of lightning, which i wish to avoid.
for the spell i want to adjust the main damage, so the first hit does 400 damage ?


no idea what you mean by the finger of death, im REALLY new to this.

The initial damage? easy.
Level 1 - Data - Damage per... 85 (Damage per target)
Level 2 - Data - Damage per... 125 (Damage per target)

Open up the field value and change the number to however much damage you want it to startout with.

thanks but i figured it out myself, my problem was i wasnt giving the dummy a copy of the spell. so he was casting the generic chain lightning. so no matter how much i edited any spell, he was casting a preset version. self teaching this stuff is a pain ><

 

[Space_Ship]

lmao thats silly I make these silly mistakes alot. I'm a bit further down the road then you but im still a rookie for sure and I got alot more to self learn. Althoguh I do ask for alot of help sometimes

 

[LeonHeartz]

you means, everytime "your unit" is attacking enemy, it release chain lightning spell to all enemy nearby ?

sorry for my bad english

i figured out everything i needed to, so i thought i would post a TESTED and WORKING chain lightning % on hit effect. might help some people.

and yes im still looking for how to make a chain lightning be cast on all units around my caster but i could assume i can make unit groups around triggering unit and create a dummy on each unit?



INFO on trigger : integer 1-5 means this spell has a 1 in 5 chance of procing (20%, 1-10 = 10% so u can adjust freely) i made it work on 3 levels with the chain lightning ability of my hero in this case (Chain lightning spirit)

 

[Assassins-Creed]

Just by looking at the trigger I think it leaks locations.
Order (Last created unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Attacked unit)

You may want to set the dummy as a variable because you use last created units a lot.

This is my opinion

 

[Maker]

You should just have a single if/then/else that check ability level > 0. Also remove the do nothing. Fix the leak: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/triggers-scripts-269/things-leak-35124/
