Illusion Problem

[Aeroblyctos]

Hi!

I'm creating an illusion spell. When hero is attacked an illusion will come to help the hero. But after few tries I have not made any succes. Can you perhaps little help?

I have attached the map to the post. This should be easy, but I don't know how to do this correctly.

The one who help me will have some rep. Thanks beforehand.

Not sure if the spell will respond if all you did was change the Order String, but im not an expert in this section xD, maybe you could base it of another spell?

 

[Ribenamania]

Okay .. I've made the spell for you.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Ooh, now it works. I have never been thinking that this could be done like this.

Thanks, really. Now my eyes are open to item abilities also.

+rep

EDIT: But... I still have one problem. The ability have 10 levels, how I do those levels when it's cast? I have attach the newest version of the map to post.

First modify an Item Illusion Ability into an unit ability,add it to your dummy unit then add this in you trigger:

• Actions - Unit set level of ability of last created unit to level of *ability* of attacked unit

Add this after you create your dummy but before you issue the order.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I think it doens't work and I just tried...

Perhaps you could do this? I have never been working this kind of things.

Well.. what changes do you want when the level is different?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I will think about that later. Perhaps it lasts longer?

 

[Ribenamania]

Well.. there's a bad way that you make 10 items with different duration.
And put trigger

• Action
• If
  • Level of XX of attacked unit equal to ...
    • Then
      • Give XX item ..
      • Use XX item ...
        • Elseif
          • Level of XX of attacked unit equal to ...
            • Then
              • .........
                • .....

And so on.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Well, ehh. That's too much. Isn't there any other way? Or should the spell trigger itself somehow edited?

 

[Ribenamania]

2nd way

Another way is the same.. create 10 items..

Use loop to make variable of 10 arrays in map initialization

Variables
========
Name: Item
Type: Item Type
Array size: 10

• Map Initialization
• Set udg_Item(1) = Item Illusion(1))
• Set udg_Item(2) = Item Illusion(2))
• Set udg_Item(3) = Item Illusion(3))
• Set udg_Item(4) = Item Illusion(4))
• Set udg_Item(5) = Item Illusion(5))
• Set udg_Item(6) = Item Illusion(6))
• Set udg_Item(7) = Item Illusion(7))
• Set udg_Item(8) = Item Illusion(8))
• Set udg_Item(9) = Item Illusion(9))
• Set udg_Item(10) = Item Illusion(10))

• Your Spell
• Unit - create unit ...
• Item - Give udg_Item(Level of Ability of Attacked Unit) to ....

 

[Aeroblyctos]

What about third way?

 

[Ribenamania]

Searching for solution.. Please wait...

I'm thinking now.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Ok, great! Because this will be a nice spell if we can make it work. I promise to give you credits.

 

[Ribenamania]

Should the illusion can be selectable ?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Yea, of course.

 

[Ribenamania]

I've made the spell.. but only one problem.. If the attacked unit is a hero .. there will be lots of icon at the left..
btw, should the illusion be able to cast spells?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Nonnononon I don't wanna extra icons... it would look very, very stupid I think.

And the spell itself is a passive spell.

Can you make the spell just work with that illusion ability...?

 

[Ribenamania]

It can't because it has no order string. Still looking for better solution.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Is it possible to give it a order string?

 

[Ribenamania]

Hey! It worked, I've made the spell.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Hmm... Let's if someone else have something in her/her mind.

 

[Ribenamania]

No .. I mean I've made the spell without 10 items..
Only 1 item and 1 trigger.

There you go...

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Okay... perfect! Now I start to edit the spell.

+rep +credits added

EDIT: Hmmhmmhmm! It seems like it still bugs. After a while, items starts to appear middle of the map. I have attached the map and a picture. Perhaps you can fix it?

 

[Ribenamania]

Sorry, but I'm busy right now.. maybe I'll check in it tomorrow.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

The project I'm making is a single player campaign. So it doesn't need to be MUI.

 

[Ribenamania]

If I'm not wrong, I think the bug is fixed.
It is caused by the dummy, the trigger creates the dummy and gives it the item and use it .. but the item has 3 number of charges.. and maybe some problem, the unit drops the items in it's inventory. So, I set the number of charges to 1 and the bug was fixed.

Here you go!

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Yes, it works now perfectly. It will be a nice spell for a lightning charcater called Fradz. Thanks again.
