how to make this skill

[bkdud_32]

u see on Enfos theres a skill that when the guy attacks it send out shockwaves that do damage

its his ultimate and u click on it and it lasts for a couple of seconds and for every attack he does while the skil is active it sends out a shockwave that does damage and i was wondering how to do that does neone know?

 

[PurplePoot]

Well, the way they would have done it;

• Shockwave on Attack
• Events
• Unit - A Unit Is Attacked
• Conditions
• (Attacking Unit) has buff Shockwave Strike Equal to True
• Actions
• Set TempPoint = Position of Attacking Unit
• Set TempPoint2 = Position of Triggering Unit
• Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Attacking Unit)) at TempPoint Facing 0 Degrees
• Unit - Add Shockwave (Dummy) to (Last Created Unit)
• Unit - Order (Last Created Unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave TempPoint2
• Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic Expiration Timer to (Last Created Unit)
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_TempPoint )
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_TempPoint2 )

Where TempPoint and TempPoint2 are both Point variables.

Note: this is a bad damage detection system, but it's easy to do in GUI, which is what I'd assume you want.

dont reall understand can u explain a little bit more

and like a i said its a skill u click on does this work like a skill u click on???

 

[slutoi]

yea it work on click because it detect buff, but it exist and easier way without variable to do this spell. Cheking my map and ill send it.

• Spell Test
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacking unit) has buff Shockwave (Caster)) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for (Owner of (Attacking unit)) at (Position of (Attacking unit)) facing (Facing of (Attacked unit)) degrees
    • Unit - Add a 1.50 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add Shockwave (Dummy) to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Set Level of Shockwave (Dummy) for (Last created unit) to (Level of Critical Strike for (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave (Position of (Attacked unit))

Err, slutoi, your trigger is just mine + leaks ><

Anyways, bkdud, what it does --

First, it detects if any unit is attacked, and the attacking unit has the buff Shockwave Strike (your ability that activates for a few seconds)

Then, it creates a 'dummy unit' at the attacker.

It then adds Shockwave to the dummy.

It then orders the dummy to cast Shockwave.

Finally, it adds an Expiration Timer to the dummy to ensure it doesn't hang around forever, then it cleans up the location leaks.

And how this works -- you have to make the buff be added (use Berserk or something), and a trigger such as mine will do the rest.

 

[bkdud_32]

but it activates when the unit attacks not when it is attacked

and does the trigger make levels too?

 

[PurplePoot]

When a unit IS attacked, it checks if the ATTACKER has the buff ><

There's no A Unit Attacks event.

Just create your base spell, making it give a buff for the duration that you want (you can have diff durations for diff levels if you want), and having no other effects. Then, implement Purple's trigger above, replacing

• (Attacking Unit) has buff Shockwave Strike Equal to True

with

• (Attacking Unit) has buff (Your Buff) Equal to True

If you want the shockwave to deal diff amounts of damage per level, make the shockwave multi-level (changing the damage value), and then insert

• Unit - Set level of Shockwave for (Attacking unit) to (Level of (Your Spell) for (Attacking unit))

right after

• Unit - Add Shockwave (Dummy) to (Last Created Unit)

That should do it for ya....

 

[bkdud_32]

ok i think i get it now

i have my skill set like a shockwave skill do i need to change it into a different skill for it to work right? or do i need to do something else?

 

[PurplePoot]

Nope, it should be fine.

 

[bkdud_32]

ok

in custom script is removelocation a variable? if it is then wut type is it?

just wondering because when i save my map it always pops up with that trigger and those parts r wut is rong

 

[PurplePoot]

It's a function.

And it won't work if you don't do exactly

call RemoveLocation( udg_TempPoint )

(caps matter)

and TempPoint MUST be a Point variable.

(the same goes for TempPoint2)

 

[bkdud_32]

can TempPoint be a different name? like Place or Point or something? or does it have to be TempPoint?

 

[PurplePoot]

It's the variables name. But then inside RemoveLocation( udg_TempPoint ), that changes to udg_MyName (eg. udg_Place or udg_Point)

 

[bkdud_32]

ok i think i got it now ill check it out

 

[-JonNny]

Using the "Unit - A unit Is attacked" event could be abuse alot
i would simply add an orb ability with 100% chance of shockwave when using your spell and remove it later

 

[bkdud_32]

nah i figured i wouldnt make my skill like that after a few unsuccesfull attempts so i just kep it as a short showckwave with no cooldown and a weak dmg and some mana cost considering that hes not int
