How can I make my Boss cast a Spell?

Yrk · May 8, 2014

Hi Guys

, I have questions, How can I make my Boss cast a spell?, And How can I make a Damage Area Spell (What I mean is that when my Boss cast a spell there's an Damage Area)

Do you mean modified spell? If you mean modified spell, you may use GUI functions: Issue order unit attack unit/point/no target.

But modified spells are unable to change their base order ID ( except channel ) , so if you have 2 spells which based on the same ability will conflict if the unit has 2 same based spell ( the unit will try to cast 2 spell )

About 2nd question: Use GUI function : Unit - Damage area, but that would required a trigger to work on it.

I use either Autocast abilities, or abilities based on the available abilites in "Issue order unit to "Cast Ability" on target" in the trigger editor

for example, a skill based on Storm Bolt;

Throw Stone
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Is attacked
- Conditions
  - (Attacking unit) Equal to HEROPlayerHero[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacking unit)))]
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Level of Throw Stone (Thief Plat) for (Attacked unit)) Equal to 1
    - Then - Actions
      - Set TEMPInteger = (Random integer number between 1 and 20)
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        TEMPInteger Equal to 5
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Unit - Order (Attacked unit) to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Attacking unit)
        
        Else - Actions
    - Else - Actions

For the 2nd question; what DD said

Or instead of ordering unit you can just put the trigger of the custom spell like what I do on my maps.

You can do it like that if the Boss' ability is unique for himself.
