need help on a spell (its stacking ability)

[millzy]

Spell 1.
i have this spell called rocket the hero shoots a rocket at a target point the rocket will shoot out in a strait line any unit hit by the rocket will take damage and a small slow. the spell has a low cool down and when hit a second time the rocket will deal extra damage and will slow the unit by more stacks up to 5 times. i have done all the triggering for the rocket but not the stacks i also havent done the slow effect yet because im unsure what is needed for the stack of the slows.

You store how many times the unit has been slowed. When you're about to slow a unit check the stored number and increase it by one. Set the level of the slowing ability accordingly to increase the effect. One could make it so that being hit refreshes the slow time so one would not have to keep track on individual expiration times of each slow, only the last. When a unit becomes unslowed, set the stack number to zero.

not sure what your saying i store how many times its been slowed in a integer does using the same ability but a stronger one just over right the first one? how would i make a integer for each unit what has been hit and to know what unit has been hit already

Hmmm..
Millizy, sorry to dissapoint you, but, seems i can't do it...
The trigger looks like a mess (on your map), i even can't read it..
Sorry for this..

You could use a hashtable for this. Before applying the debuff, load the value stored in a hashtable and adjust the ability level accordingly. If it is zero then it doesn't have the buff cast on it.

I'm not sure if higher ability value overrides a lower one, I would guess that yes it does. You can always remove the previous buff with a trigger.

iv never used hash tables thats why the spell atm uses indexing

Slow ability:
Lev 1 - 5%
Lev 2 - 10%
Lev 3 - 15%
Lev 4 - 20%
Lev 5 - 25%

- save integer 1 to a hashtable then cast the spell (that's level 1)...
- in the timer loop load the integer then add 1 and cast (level 2), then save again, then cast again (level 3), and so on...

that wont work the rocket may hit defferent units

e.g rocket hits unit 1 slowing lvl 1 rocket hits unit 1 slowing lvl then rocket hits unit 2 again slowing lvl 2
