Lina's Fiery Soul skill

[- Juninho -]

Hello ppl, i need help with this particular spell (bloodlust like effect when caster casts something), how does this spell work? i know it uses a dummy to cast bloodlust on the caster when it uses spells, but how does the stacking part work? because i remember trying to replicate this spell before but it never stacked pretty much, is there a way to make it work?

here's a ss of the tooltip of said ability btw.

Thanks in advance :]

 

[Cheshire]

this is one way to do it:

Help with attack speed increase after every attack

Hey >:D Can any one help me out with triggering this ability?: Bloodlust: (Infinite amount of stacking ) With each attack the Demon's bloodlust grows stronger and stronger causing his attack and movement speed to increase by 5% after every strike how ever should the Demon not attack for 10...

If you use version 1.31+, you can use New Bonus [vJASS][LUA] and add timed bonuses each time, probably cast a dummy spell to give buff, or add an aura that only target self (that has no effect) that gives buff/effect, that you remove after time has expired.

In essence, New Bonus sets values of item-abilities (+damage, +attack speed, etc. abilities) that are added to units, and then use the 1.31 natives to set the amounts.

Attached a map with a spell that's identical to DotA 2's Fiery Soul. It will work for multiple players but only 1 Hero per player (MPI).

The issue with using Bloodlust is that it can be dispelled. That or stolen from spellbreakers. Fiery Soul is intended to be a passive bonus that cannot be dispelled and even persists through death (if somehow the Hero were to revive prior to the 10 second duration expiring).

Requires the latest version (1.32+).

Those seem to be neat solutions (especially the map Uncle did, wow!)
But, since im playing in an older version which is 1.29, its probably unlikely that i would be able to use em, which is a damn shame :[ idk if there's another way (would ask, but i would feel like im asking too much already) but again, the help you offered is greatly appreciated guys, thanks!

Unfortunate, I'm not sure what is available in 1.29 in order to make this spell work properly. Here are the triggers anyway:

The Set Ability Real and Disable/Enable Ability For Unit functions are only available in 1.31+. That being said, you could probably replace these actions with something else that works. For example, Endurance Aura with 12 levels could be used to grant the attack speed/movement speed. You'd add it to your hero and set it's level using a formula like: FS_Stacks[FS_PN] + (3 * (Level of Fiery Soul - 1))

Only issue here is that auras have a delay before updating their level and don't apply the stats immediately. You can fix this in version 1.31+ by Disabling/Enabling the ability for the specific unit (Disable For Player doesn't work) but I don't know of a way in 1.29.

Since you want v1.29 and the spell increases movement and attack speed, you can use the bit flag approach

• create X copies of the haste spells.
• Each copy has only one level and gives 2^n bonus haste. Start from 0 (2^0): therefore first spell should give 1 bonus haste, the second 2 bonus, third 4 bonus, fourth 8 bonus, etc. - the bonus should always be to the power of two (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128,...).
  • For example if you have 10 spells, then the last spell should give you 2^9 bonus, which is 512. If you sum the range of numbers from 2^0 to 2^9, you get a total of 1023 - so potentially the spell's max bonus haste could be this 1023.
• Place all those abilities in an ability array, order them from smallest bonus to largest. Start indexing from 0 instead of 1.
• The idea here is that when you want to add X bonus haste to your unit upon casting an ability, you take that number X and divide it by 2^n... and depending on the result you want to add or remove from the the unit the ability that matches the ability from abilities array under index 'n'. You do this iteratively for each 2^n you have, from greatest 'n' to smallest
  • If the division result was greater than 0, you add the ability and in further calculation use the division remainder (modulo) of the current number
  • If the division result was 0, you remove the ability and continue

The triggers below are an example for an ability that increases movement speed by 5 each time it is used and will last up to 10 seconds (with a maximum bonus of 120).
The movement speed bonus abilities are all based on the "Item Move Speed Bonus" ability.

Edit:
Will just add an example calculation.
Let's say the bonus we want to add is 95.

1. We take the largest divisor 64 (2^6) and check if 95/64 > 0.
   1. It is, so we add ability under index 6 and calculate division remainder
   2. division remainder is 31
2. We take next divisor 32 (2^5) and check if 31/32 > 0
   1. It is not, so we remove the ability under index 5
3. We take next divisor 16 (2^4) and check if 31/16 > 0
   1. It is, so we add ability under index 4 and calculate remainder... which is 15
4. we continue this way until divisor 1 (2^0)

hey again, that seems like it would work! can i perhaps get a test map with that stuff u posted? if it wouldn't be too much to ask of course! thanks for the help m8's

 

[Nichilus]

Well, I am on v1.32, but I created and attached the map anyway

 

[- Juninho -]

aw, thats a shame indeed :[ but no matter, its my fault for playing an older version i suppose, anyways, i will see what i can do with the triggers y'all posted, maybe i can make em work! ty ppl ;]

 

[Uncle]

In my earlier post I explain how you could do this using an Endurance Aura with 12 levels (4 levels of Fiery Soul * 3 stacks = 12). You could also use Bloodlust if you don't care about the buff being dispellable. My triggers point you in right direction for how this can be handled. You'd just replace all of the fancy 1.32 stuff I'm doing with abilities with whatever approach you choose.

Bloodlust would use a Dummy unit to cast a specific level of Bloodlust on the Caster -> Bloodlust levels 1-3 for Fiery Soul lvl 1, 4-6 for FS 2, 7-9 for FS 3, and 10-12 for FS 4. If you're unsure of how to do that I suggest looking up tutorials on using Dummy units, there's 100's of examples on this site.
