Item Problem

[Wii]

Hi, can anyone tell me how i can make it so my items have a chance to cast a spell? like 20% chance to cast chain lightning when holding a item. thanks

You have to do this with triggers.

Event: Genaric Unit attacks a unit
Condition: (attacking unit )is holding an item type equal to (chain lightning chance)
Action: make dummy unit cast chain lightning on attacked unit

to make the chance you need to make an integer equal a random integer

and then check it using a "For Next" and a "If Then"

This is a good example of a triggered passive spell:

• Rush Base
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Legendary Doomhammer
  • Actions
    • If ((Level of Rush for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 1) then do (Set RushChance = (Random integer number between 1 and 15)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Level of Rush for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 2) then do (Set RushChance = (Random integer number between 1 and 14)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Level of Rush for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 3) then do (Set RushChance = (Random integer number between 1 and 13)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Level of Rush for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 4) then do (Set RushChance = (Random integer number between 1 and 12)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Level of Rush for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 5) then do (Set RushChance = (Random integer number between 1 and 11)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Level of Rush for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 6) then do (Set RushChance = (Random integer number between 1 and 10)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Level of Rush for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 7) then do (Set RushChance = (Random integer number between 1 and 9)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Level of Rush for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 8) then do (Set RushChance = (Random integer number between 1 and 8)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Level of Rush for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 9) then do (Set RushChance = (Random integer number between 1 and 7)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • RushPercent Equal to RushChance
        • ((Attacked unit) is A structure) Equal to False
        • ((Attacked unit) is A ground unit) Equal to True
        • ((Attacked unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Casting unit))) Equal to False
        • ((Attacked unit) is alive) Equal to True
        • ((Attacked unit) is Magic Immune) Equal to False
      • Then - Actions
        • Animation - Change (Attacking unit)'s animation speed to 175.00% of its original speed
        • Unit - Move (Attacking unit) instantly to ((Position of (Attacked unit)) offset by 70.00 towards (Facing of (Attacking unit)) degrees)
        • Unit - Make (Attacking unit) face (Attacked unit) over 0.00 seconds
        • Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Attack (Attacked unit)
        • Animation - Play (Attacking unit)'s Attack animation
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of (Attacked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Stampede\StampedeMissileDeath.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • Wait 0.50 seconds
        • Unit - Move (Attacking unit) instantly to ((Position of (Attacked unit)) offset by 70.00 towards (Facing of (Attacking unit)) degrees)
        • Unit - Make (Attacking unit) face (Attacked unit) over 0.00 seconds
        • Unit - Cause (Attacking unit) to damage (Attacked unit), dealing 50.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
        • Animation - Play (Attacking unit)'s Attack animation
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of (Attacked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Stampede\StampedeMissileDeath.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • Wait 0.50 seconds
        • Unit - Move (Attacking unit) instantly to ((Position of (Attacked unit)) offset by 70.00 towards (Facing of (Attacking unit)) degrees)
        • Unit - Make (Attacking unit) face (Attacked unit) over 0.00 seconds
        • Unit - Cause (Attacking unit) to damage (Attacked unit), dealing 50.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
        • Animation - Play (Attacking unit)'s Attack animation
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of (Attacked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Stampede\StampedeMissileDeath.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • Animation - Change (Attacking unit)'s animation speed to 100.00% of its original speed
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing
