[Spell] Need help on abillities!!

[Nightbrowler]

Hi,
I'am using a spell multiple times, and I don't want them to interfere with each other for example both spells use tornado as cast abillty, once you click it both will be activated somehow, so i already use stampede and tornado i need another channel spell, do any of you have an idea of what i can use?!

EDIT:needs a target point

Basing spells off "Channel" is best (unless you want to do simple things). When a unit has 2 abilities both based of Channel, you must set the "Data - Base Order ID" to something different for both spells. Make sure that you change to following things under your Channel spells:
- Disable Other Abilities: FALSE
- Options: VISIBLE (and TARGETING IMAGE if needed)
- Target Type: Appropriate option

In some spells there isn't Data - Basre order ID

EDIT: can you do it in a map and upload it pls?!

he mean use channel ability instead ur ability coz only at spellbook and channel ability could change the base order id.


u can customize channel ability well (u can do point(both area like blizard or just a point)/unit(firebolt)/instant(like berserk) target ability)

after u made custom channel ability just make the effect with trigger, example if u unit cast ur dummy channel ability then u can have more way, i list 2:

1. add ability to hero, order it with trigger and remove it
2. create a dummy invisble unit, add ability (example ur tornade)m, order it to enemy and a short expiration timer

1.st work like in screenshot, the differentce between 1st and 2nd, for 2nd need 1 dummy unit (any unit, just set model to none, collision to 0, movement:fly,food cost:0, mana to enough) add the ability to him after u created dummy to ur position, order it and add expiration timer (u dont need wait, remove ability coz with expiration timer he die after x second and since invisble its look like u cast)

Ouh yea i tried, but it doesn't work because it needs casting time like tornado or stampede. it stops when the caster moves, does something else. Looks like i casted, but you still don't get the stats of the caster since it was casted by a dummy. My spells work with stats.

1st off all, if u make a trigger where ur hero cast the dummy channel then trigger unit till the end of that trigger is same casting unit (so ur main hero) even u created a dummy for cast another skill, because in condition the ability casted is dummy ability not the real, so after all u can check the triggering unit stat when u want in that trigger with dummy unit

that possible with timer or triggersleep loop (i used trigger sleep for malfurion healing rain/Tranquility)
its check ~every sec if unit is channeling or not
Warning triggersleep not too accurated

function Trig_Tranquility_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A03M'

So you are saying that i need to make a dummy for everyspell i make?! that's insane =D

i just say i can do if u use ability with same base order else u can use normal ability, but when u use same base order id ability (like 2 berserk) then u must do some trick.

and its easier way then with timer just less acurated

 

[Mr_Bean]

If you want I can make one of your spells for you so you can get an idea how it's done
