Hey hive peoples,

Here is what i'm attempting to do...

When a tower has 1 archer inside it, the tower fires one arrow

When a tower has 2 archers inside it, the tower fires two arrows

When a tower has 3 archers inside it, the tower fires three arrows

All up to 5 archers a tower, for 5 arrows total.

Think it's possible with triggering and stuff?

I think using barrage as a dummy ability Will do the trick. Simply changing level with how many archers there are inside. Only issue is that barrage has static damage but if the towers damage remains the same there is no issue.

Think you could go into more detail as to how to do that? Would be a huge help if you could make a test map too (if you feel like it) .

Use the event "à unit is loaded" and make condition that loading unit is of the type of the tower. Then make an action which increases an integer by 1. If the integer was 0 then give the tower the barrage ability, else just set the level of barrage to the integers value.

However i am unsure of the unload part as the unload removes all units in the tower but you can also simply click one unit out at à time.

Ill see if i can get it together

Thanks, i would really appreciate a test map, +rep

Does the "5" arrows are shot simultaneously ?
Or each has its own cooldown of each attack truly based on the loaded unit (archer) ?

 

[ndh]

The second you mentioned would be awesome.

 

[defskull]

The awesome there are, the harder they are.

Bump

I don't think having separate archers firing separate arrows would work (at least without JASS, but I don't know JASS and consequently don't know if you could work around this). The problem is that loading and unloading can't be detected if you don't use the abilities manually (you can right-click to load and left-click on a unit in the cargo hold to unload). So, it might be better to go with the barrage idea, which is easier to do.

 

[ndh]

Yeah, problem is i wouldn't know how to trgger something like that :/ A test map would be awesome.

Can you not use Orc Burrow ?
You know, Orcs use it, it fills up the worker (change model to archer) inside a buildng (change to tower) and the speed of the projectile to be reloaded depends on how much does the quantity of unit contain inside the tower.

 

[ndh]

Yeah, i am using the orc burrow one, but would like it if multiple arrows shot out. Eh, i'll figure a way out soon or later.

 

[defskull]

I'll help you if you change your avatar to an appropriate siiiize
Just kidding, I'll try to create something for you, don't know when will finish though.

 

[ndh]

That better?
