Multishot-Autocast

[saio]

DO some one have an Idea how to make a Multishot that's Autocasting
if some one do it will be great to tell me or to save it on a blank map and give me the link
chears

Depends on what you mean by multi-shot.

Easiest way is to base it off of a dummy immolation, check when they have it active, and when it's active, give the attacking unit a dummy barrage ability. That's about it :/ not much to it.

I meen A hero Atack's a not 1 unit but 2-3 at a time and I need it to be autocast (GUI pls)

 

[Just_Spectating]

if you make a dummy ability(Preferably Channel), then if you click on it, then it will give you split shot and if you click on it again then it removes the ability splitshot.

Post editet PLS delate that post!
10x

 

[PurplePoot]

....

What he meant was that you could have a dummy ability based off channel. When you cast it, add split shot. When you cast it again (off), remove split shot.

Please calm down with the caps.

lol never did that in my life can you make some example of that on an empty map and sorry about the other post tout that he was not understanding me
sorry pal

 

[Just_Spectating]

here you go, there are creeps to test with also.

werry 10x man
but can you make it like cold arows- autocast?
the one that activates vhit right click

 

[PurplePoot]

Add it to the unit when the order is issued (eg "frostarrowson" or whatever it is), then remove it when the other order is issued ("frostarrowsoff" or whatever)

?_?
I can't understand you I must see it in a map and I will lern it

 

[Just_Spectating]

i guess i could. but cold arrows cant be split shotted, cause it cant stack.. however i could make dummy units unless you just want it LIKE cold arrows were you right click and it has the gold sparkled autocast symbol on it.

 

[PurplePoot]

Here's what it would be for Searing Arrows;

• Trig
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(flamingarrows))
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add Barrage to (Triggering unit)
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(unflamingarrows))
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Remove Barrage from (Triggering unit)
          • Else - Actions

 

[Just_Spectating]

did you test that?

 

[PurplePoot]

Nope, it's a theory (wrote it without my WE), but unless GUI is messed it should work -.- (done the sort of thing in JASS)

 

[Just_Spectating]

because it doesnt detect the (flamingarrows)/(unflamingarrows) ability. ive already tryed detecting with those orders on a different spell help. and since my way is what dota does, then i think it would be fine.

 

[PurplePoot]

Unless GUI is messed, it should have no problem detecting that order -.-

I've seen it done before, that's how custom arrow skills work.

 

[Just_Spectating]

then GUI is messed, because ive already tryed that and it didnt work.

do it widowt cold arrows pls

 

[Just_Spectating]

i said, i could do it with the cold arrows buff, but i cant do it with the sparkled autocast.

 

[saio]

i said, i could do it with the cold arrows buff, but i cant do it with the sparkled autocast.

tht's bad for me can some one do ti plssssssssssss
verry plssssssss

 

[Just_Spectating]

why must it be like that... if its never been done before and cant be done unless you use jass then it wont be any help if its like that. If you arent going to use the way i gave you then dont.

Torment Hero Arena has a Multi Shot ability, although not in autocast. And it's also unprotected, meaning you can go in, nick the nessecary stuff and place it in your map. You can just google it, it should be there. As for making it autocast, Drain Pipe should be able to help you out (or I will if he's not looking into it)

The multishot itself is the easy part, and has been down since the start ><

Anyways, contrary to everything Just_Spectating said (please don't say that they definitely don't work next time, unless they definitely don't...), I tested my exact trigger and it works perfectly.

Here it is again for good measure.

• MultiShot
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(flamingarrows))
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add Barrage to (Triggering unit)
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(unflamingarrows))
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Remove Barrage from (Triggering unit)
          • Else - Actions

Replace Barrage with your custom ability. Base the autocast spell off Searing Arrows.

I can't do it pls some one help

 

[PurplePoot]

How can you not do that? I posted the exact trigger, you just need to pick and choose what I put there from the drop-down menus.

It also might help if you pick the Add Event/Condition/Action button(s). I know that even a noob would figure that bit out, but that's still a point to make

it's not working can you fix it?

 

[Drain Pipe]

Thing about your trigger, purple, is that while it works fine, does it work in the following conditions:

-You have it active but don't have the mana for the shot.
-You target a unit once with this ability.

Based just on the order, it's nice, but those two drawbacks are the reasons I don't use an actual auto cast ability. Another reason is that there's a bug with detecting damage dealt if they have that buff; it returns a damage value of 0. So using that ability severely limits triggering capabilities.

There's another secret way to do it (although I can't share that little bit of information; it's for a private map, even though maybe most have already done it that way and you could get it from them)

however, The use of the immolation buff works fine, you'd just need 1 periodic trigger, or 1 timer and trigger to check if the target has the buff; if they do, add the ability and set a boolean to make sure you don't keep on adding it. If they don't, take it off and set the boolean so it doesn't have to repeat that action if nothing is going on. That way, you don't have to worry about attacking a unit, or running out of mana. If you want even better results, set it to drop their mana by X for every hit they make and you'll have almost exactly the same effect.

Still, it would be possible to trigger this so that, it gets the damage you would have dealt, then detects which units will be hit, then fires arrows at them and deals according damage that will be subject to resistance and all that. It would be slightly more advanced than multi shot, which sometimes targets units behind you and such.... because you could customize your cone of detection.

but that's if you're clever enough to figure out how it's done. ))

 

[PurplePoot]

True, I forgot about the former altogether. (the second is unfixable without complete triggering, though) However, you'd have to do a lot of triggering to get around it.

It depends if he wants to use mana costs, though.

And saio, you didn't even give her the searing arrows ability, of course it doesn't work... (also, why can she learn the Multiple Shot dummy ability..?)

that trigger is buged !!!
iven if she run's out of mana she continues to multishot and the ability can't get more that lvl 1

 

[Drain Pipe]

Well if you wanna keep it simple for the rest of the spell, that one time thing requires that you make it way more complicated and intricate for that one scenario. That's why I prefer using an immolation style ability or an ability which has 2 icon pictures when you use it, it rids you of the first problem, which is almost impossible (i don't know if it detects stuff as being based on attack, or spell casting) and also the second one as well. I'd use a slightly different method but it'd be almost exactly the same overall.

I only made the trigger support 1 level. You can easily fix this by adding a Unit - Set Level of Ability For Unit after the Unit - Add Ability.

The manacost problem is known, yes, but you can't really get around it without fully triggering the ability.

He's saying you should activate/deactivate immolation (or etc) to turn it on/off.

 

[Drain Pipe]

yeah. You'd be surprised at how much work goes into making an immolation style spell work well like the original spells would. It takes quite a lot of little intricate triggers, but the overall effect is actually very cool.

can you give me the trigger on a map like I did?

 

[RED BARON]

or use barrage, combined with a trigger... so uses and ability give him the edited barrage (multishot) and then clicking the of on remove it. Then add the mana cost to it so the trigger also removes the ability if that heroes mana is equal to 0

 

[Drain Pipe]

that was what I was talking about in the previous posts....you didn't read all of it did you?

 

[RED BARON]

that was what I was talking about in the previous posts....you didn't read all of it did you?

I did... this wasnt what you talked about... you talked about immolation and buff. Not the adding and removing of the abiltiy, which fix that the hero cant use it if run out of mana. Which means this is easier... what I talked about.

 

[PurplePoot]

Immolation would work just like 2 abilities to add/remove, so yes, that was what he suggested -.-

 

[Drain Pipe]

here's some backup:

however, The use of the immolation buff works fine, you'd just need 1 periodic trigger, or 1 timer and trigger to check if the target has the buff; if they do, add the ability and set a boolean to make sure you don't keep on adding it. If they don't, take it off and set the boolean so it doesn't have to repeat that action if nothing is going on. That way, you don't have to worry about attacking a unit, or running out of mana. If you want even better results, set it to drop their mana by X for every hit they make and you'll have almost exactly the same effect.

further proof.

 

[RED BARON]

Okay trying again... was I meant.. maybe I didnt speak clearly was that imolation isnt the only way to do this... you can make a abilty called multishot... when you click it you get a hidden multishot. and the clicked ability is replaced.. but well it does the same in the end. Just told about an other similar sulution, as it appeared to be hard for Saio to do what you suggested. But well if he uses yours then fine...

 

[Drain Pipe]

oh ok, my bad. It sounded like you were suggesting exactly the same thing, but yeah, your way would work equally well. Pretty much any ability or triggering which switches 2 icons on the command button, would work.

I just figured using immolation would be simplest for him in terms of lowering the amount of triggering he'd have to do.

inded yes. Sometimes the more complicated, but in someway more simple can be easier. But well as long as he got the answear he wanted, it isnt importent.

 

[saio]

can you give me an example?
the trigger?
