[Trigger] Idea?

[-Berz-]

Hi!

I just get an idea, how to make passive abilities (in GUI) whitout and damage detections and abuses.

This is how it goes:
1.I take "Bash" ad base ability(so i can set the %)
2. Set duration of stunn to 0.01
3. make a black icon on the buff

4. Triggering - Problem
Now the problem is how to detect that unit with the buff.

• Test Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacked unit) has buff Test Buff (Pause)) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Attacked unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Human\ThunderClap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

This leaks a location (doesn't matter now)
I tested this like 50 times and the special effect appeared only once.
So what is the problem? Event? 0.01 buff duration to short?

Dunno it was just my idea, and i can't make it work.
Tell me what do you think/what did i make wrong/or if its even possible to make it that way?

Now if someone would help me make a trigger. I mean that would be great.

Thanks!

The Bash buff, as well as any other on-attack buffs, are also added on damage.

This is a bad idea anyways, seeing as Bash interrupts them (but if it did actually work, which it doesn't, it could be implemented with an orb etc).

Ok I am new here so forgive me if I am completly wrong but:
Couldn't you use critical strike instead as you can just change the damage increase/multiplier to 0 and it doesnt stun.

Question: How do you create an orb effect?

 

[PurplePoot]

Almost every passive on attack is considered an orb effect, most of them are named "Orb of XXX," hence the name. However, there are some which aren't, namely bouncing attack, Mask of Death, etc.

As for the critical strike thing, this idea doesn't work in general - it has no correlation to which ability you use. Also, on a side note, critical strike can't add a buff, which is what the idea relied on in the first place.

Now i used orb of lightning(new) and i noticed "attack index" what does this actualy does?
like when you attack unit manual not auto attack?

Some Orb Abilities allow you to toggle between Attack 1 and Attack 2 Enabled.

For example, Orb of Fire adds an AOE Air Attack to heroes by having an antiair attack be their Attack - 2, and enabling Attack 2 as long as they hold Orb of Fire.
