Making an ability not be dispelable/spell stealable

[Ghost765]

Is there a way to make it so that spell steal cannot steal an ability, or dispel cannot dispel an ability? basically i created an ability that makes a unit have a chance to miss, but it requires dummy units casting curse on it, and spellbreakers/priests can dispel that. even though the miss buff comes back, the casters waste valuable mana.
also, is it possible to make NEGATIVE buffs into POSITIVE, and vice versa? so the red filter of the units doesnt show.

set the priority for spell steal to zero

 

[Ghost765]

already tried that. spellbreakers still steal it.

 

[Dr Super Good]

I thought the filters were stat based, so negative values gave red and positive green.

 

[Ghost765]

i think it depends more on the spell. if it's a default neg spell, its a neg spell.

 

[supertoinkz]

hmmm
make the priority to 0 instead

 

[Ghost765]

have u tested this before?

 

[supertoinkz]

not on WE today
but pyramid said it works

 

[Ghost765]

well, it doesnt. cause theres no "priority" field in the spells. only spell steal priority, and they still steal if it's at 0. if its in the negatives, the game crashes. if its 100, they still steal. greedy elves.

 

[supertoinkz]

try 1

 

[Ghost765]

nope. doesnt work.

 

[supertoinkz]

well
i got freetime this afternoon and test it on we

 

[Ghost765]

do it.

i found the mechanics
lets use this example:::
an inner fire has a 0 priority for spell steal and a heal has a 1 priority for ss.
then a greedy spell breaker come in and began to attack a priest with the inner fire.
then another priest, seeing his friend wounded casts heal on him and on the same time, the wounded priest cast inner fire to the other priest?

Who will get stolen? Heal or Inner fire?

Lucky guess, its heal, because it has a higher priority than the inner fire
so keep your ability zero and others 100 to prevent stealing it

^What do you think will happen when there are no ther spells to steal...

 

[Saia_Djinn]

i'm not reallly sure but basing it off an ultimate ability should help i think

 

[Ghost765]

there are no ultimates that makes units have a chance to miss.

 

[Super-Sheep]

you cant steal heal, srsly

i never remember this happening this on ladder or in any game/map and it would be waste of mana to steal 25 hp heal

 

[Ghost765]

thats not the point. If you have a higher spell steal priority, it gets stolen first. that i kno. even if its at 0, it will get stolen if there are no other buffs to steal. SO HOW DO I FIX THIS?

 

[Super-Sheep]

you could try to order the casting unit to stop when it begins casting the spell steal and target has the buff that you didnt want it to be able to steal

 

[supertoinkz]

you can give them evasion and remove icons and make it unit ability with 1 level.
I personally use it

 

[Ghost765]

if i did super sheeps method, then no buffs from them could be dispelled/stolen
i might try supertoinkz method if i have the time
