Moon Glave, amgl

[HolyBear]

I want to make an item that gives the user moon glave, so i made the abilitie, but it doesn't have bounce data so i can edit damage reduction from each bounce and how many times it can bounce.

I am not sure if that's possible. The moon glaive ability actually doesn't give the bouncing effect. It just turns it off if the ability is not researched.

All the bounce data is on the unit. Look at huntress for example and compare it to archer.

 

[HolyBear]

So if you were to do it, it would have to be on the unit, not item?
Because I want an item that gives bounce attack.

I think I have an idea. But this only works properly if the player can't have over 1 unit.
Add moon glaive ability to unit and disable it with triggers. Then when unit gets the item you enable it and when loses item you disable.

Try using the Barrage ability.

I made the trigger, works great, now if only i can edit the data.

Moon Glaive ability does nothing. It is just a command card place holder used for consistency. The bouncy attack used by the Huntress is actually an attack type configured for the Unit in the Object Editor. Only upgrades can alter the number of times an attack will bounce (number of targets) but upgrades cannot be "un-researched".

Well then is there a way to change heros attack type if a unit has the item, then put it back to normal when he doesnt have it?

HolyBear: Create two hero units, one for the bouncing attack, and one when not bouncing?

 

[Xonok]

Disabling moonglaive will disable bouncy attacks if hero already has them.

I guess the multi-unit approach is the only one though.
Or you could trigger the bounces.

Disabling moonglaive will disable bouncy attacks if hero already has them.

So are you saying that if you give a hero with bouncy attacks the moonglavie ability and disable it that the bouncing stops?

I see a high possibility, as moon glaive does does seem to do something. Or does the upgrade also add to maximum targets?
In any regards, it should be tested.

 

[Dr Super Good]

That is exactly what it does... Did you not check?

That won't work unless I made 2 heros for each hero, thats about 30+ heros..
and then i would have to figure out how to trigger swap heros if player picks up item. Doesn't seem like there is a good way to do this.

Doesn't seem like there is a good way to do this.

There is no good way to do this in WarCraft III. This is why no map features such an item.
