Is it possible to make this spell?

[Geshishouhu]

I would like to make the following spell. Is it possible?

Summon unit A, last for 30 sec. Moreover, A has the following ability: upon death, A can revive and double A's str, agi and int. For example:
A is summoned --> 10 sec passes, A dies (20 sec remaining life time) --> A revive, will last for 20 secs, has twice str, agi and int than the original A.

The difficult part is to calculate the remaining time of A when A dies. Is it possible to do that? Thank you guys.

I think this is impossible :|

Yes. You can use a periodic trigger to handle the unit's life span.

Hi, Doomlord. Glad to see you again. Do you mind to be more specific?

Hi there.

I will write some pseudo-code for you to follow. This is not MUI btw.

Summon unit event
Unit summoned is A
Store base stats here
Turn on periodic trigger

Every 0.5s
Set realCounter = realCounter + 0.5
If realCounter <30.0 then
If Unit A is dead then
Revive A
Double stat for A
Store new stat value for A
Endif
Else
Kill A
Do some more thing here
Endif

If it is MUI, then u should use indexing or hashtable ortherwise it will call bugs for ur map. P/S: it's rare to see a Hero as a summoned unit .

 

[Krogoth]

Why use timer, detect death, check KILLER == NO_UNIT, apply new lifetime

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

U didnt read a whole thread didnt u? He said that if the summonned unit dies (while within the duration of summoning), it will be reborn with the amount of time left and double its stat. How can u define the duration it has left if u dont use timer?

Thank you! It is inspiring! I will try it, +Rep.

Edit: the system does not allow me to +Rep.... I need to spread some reputation around first.... -_-

Edit: final questions.....
First, how to store stats? -_- handle or something like that?
Second, in your code, where did you apply the remaining life time?

Thank you also.

You can either set the start via triggering (reduces confusion & easier save load) or search for the event that store hero stat (forgot if its exist or not in GUI)

Thank you in advance ^^

You can use Unit Indexer then store the stat for unit A with 3 integer arrays. Like this

• Set StrengthArray[(Custom value of unit A)] = 10
• Set AgilityArray[(Custom value of unit A)] = 15
• Set IntelligenceArray[(Custom value of unit A)] = 20

I didn't apply a life time buff. I use a timer to check when the unit's time span expires then kill/remove it.

No Doomlord you lost your 1000th post :/

Thanks! lol

Now I am trying to make it MUI.

 

[Malhorne]

Good luck !

Anything you use twice or more should be stored into a variable and the variable should be used. example: store custom value of unit A then use the variable.

 

[Malhorne]

I think you can link your GUI tutorial on every post because i think your signature will never be enough death xD !

Possibly but I don't like to do that unless I think something in my tutorial is necessary to the related topic or any of the questions asked.

Got it. Thank you!

I was joking about the fact that nearly each time you help someone with GUI code you talk about storing variable x)
