[Trigger] Invcincible Unit

[bbfreak]

Alright, im stuck after trying to attempt this forever.

I made a unit that i want to be invulnerable. But i want it to be if someone has a specific buff on them only they can dmg that unit. Now i have the physical dmg correct. But i need spells to effect him too. How can i make it so that only a person who has a buff can dmg a unit with their attack and magic, while nobody else can or they do very little dmg.

"This is the same exact thing in golem wars in Rakion if any1 has ever played it before."

Thanks

i think you should discard the invulnerable skill...
the best idea i can get for that what you need, is to first make an ability based on an aura with no effects at all, just giving a buff called "Invulnerability" or something. Then, something like this would work

• NoAttack
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacked unit) has buff Invincible) Equal to True
    • ((Attacking unit) has buff InvincibleKiller) Equal to False)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Stop

• NoSpell
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • ((Target unit of ability being cast) has buff Invincible) Equal to True
    • ((Casting unit) has buff InvincibleKiller) Equal to False)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Casting unit) to Stop

Maybe not the best idea... but is the only one i can think of

--------------------------

Edit: Maybe another good idea would be to make the unit have a modified armor, and changing the values in the constants, like using divine and making only chaos damage it. then just change the spell damage on the tables and spells should damage very little or nothing at all.
Then you could make a skill or item that changes the attack type of the unit (i think thats something related to orbs if im not wrong)

You could just input all the spells you plan to use into a trigger and have a set amount (Like if the abilities level up, it will have a CONSTANT up value on the damage, or up by a %) and just program it too damage the target via trigger. Tell me if this sounds confusing, if so I'll go into it alittle deeper.

i think that would take too much work if the map is going to have lots of spells...

 

[l2aziel]

This would work if the unit is on the map already

Invulnreble
Events
Unit - A unit comes within 300.00 of Invincinable 0000 <gen>
Conditions
((Triggering unit) has buff I can kill invinciable Man.) Not equal to True
Actions
Unit - Make (Triggering unit) Sleep when unprovoked

You could do that, or make a silence ability be casted on the unit coming near the Invinciable Unit.

Hmm .. I think that will be correct... But.. what is you are trying to do.? Make the unit Invisible?? Cant you just use wind walk and make all movement speed bonuses and stuff zero??

 

[KaiserG]

inviNcible, not invisible... ¬¬
xD

 

[The-Weeh.]

aha... Aren't invurneable enough?

 

[KaiserG]

no, he wants a unit to be invincible. But then if you get a buff (INVULNERABLE PWN3R BUFF) you are able to kill that unit. And that goes for normal attacks as well as spell dmg.

 

[Ghan_04]

A solution to this problem could be done with armor.
If you were to give the invulnerable unit Divine armor, then only Chaos damage would affect it, while still allowing it to be attacked.
And I don't think that Divine armor stops spells, so you should be good there.

There are a couple ways you could approach your buff.

1. Change the hero's attack with the use of something like an orb ability.

2. Use a trigger with the Damage Target action when the Divine armored unit takes damage from your unit. This would probably be a bit more tricky.

There are some suggestions. If you need help implementing them, check for some tutorials first, then feel free to post back.

hm, i can stop physical attacks but i can't seem to find a way to stop spells from every other heros except the one that has the buff.

I thought of maybe having it so when the unit takes dmg from someone that doesnt have the buff it just regains it but then the can kill it if it has low health...

im so stuck

 

[Justify]

Maybe with a 'Any unit takes damage' workaround, check if the attacker has the buff, if not, set the life of attacked unit to life + damage taken :>
Although I don't know why it's working, this function is fast enough so you can't die.

You could do like..

• Events
  • Unit - A unit is attacked..
• Conditions
  • If attacked unit has buff Invincible
• Actions
  • If all conditions (if) are true then do actions (then) else do actions (else)
    • Conditions - If
      • Unit - Attacking unit has Invincible pwner buff :P
    • Actions - Then
      • Do Nothing
    • Actions - Else
      • Unit - Order unit to Stop

Thats what i have for the physical dmg, but spells is the problem.

> Thats what i have for the physical dmg, but spells is the problem.

Well, if you're ok using that kind of system, the solution for spells lies in the A Unit Begins Casting an Ability event.

 

[Justify]

Not really. Single target yes, but what's with AE effects? You can't (you shouldn't) stop them because of one unit.

I still think that a "Any unit takes damage" workaround is the only solution for this problem :>
EDIT: Oh but you have to think of the buffs then, hm

 

[Goldentiger]

why dont you use divine armor and chaos attack??

 

[bbfreak]

ok that works for physical dmg. but i need spells! lol

 

[Velmarshal]

Oh the answer was under your noses for whole chat. Make unit able to attack invunerable units, then create spells that can be casted on invunerable units.
I might be wrong but give it a try.

You can add the buff under the Buffs tab in object editor for your spell..

 

[yAyAfOshO]

divine armor can work with spells. Basic made spells completely from the object editor have "spell" damage, which is modified through the gameplay constants. And for trigger spells that use the damage target/area function, you could use an if/then/else to check if the unit has the buff, then instead of dealing the really big damage, just do like 1 or so.
