Need help !!!

[NoNZealot]

I'm working on a spell which is an aura of slow based on endurance aura, but I want it to trigger when the heros hp is below %50. I got 2 skills while the one is a dummy that needs a unit named At most %50 hp. But I don't know how can I make it work in triggers.
Basically all I want to do is make an aura that activates when heros hp is below %50. In GUI please Will someone help me!!?!?!? XD

Basically, you can use a spellbook ability with 2 levels. In level 1 you put no spell, in level 2 you put the modified Endurance aura.
Add "MyspellBookAbility" to your hero in the object editor.

Then, you disable the spellbook at Map Initialization.

• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Player - Disable MySpellbookAbility for (Picked player)

Then you create a trigger that increases the level of the spellbook when your unit's HP is under 50%; and decreases the level when your unit's HP is over 50%.

e.g.
(warning: leaks unit group)

• Events
  • Time - Every 0,1 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - pick every unit of unit type YourHero and do actions
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (all conditions are true) then do (then actions) else do (else actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • Picked unit's HP <50%
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Ability - Set level of MySpellBookAbility to 2 for picked unit
        • Else - Actions
          • Unit - Ability - Set level of MySpellbookAbility to 1 for picked unit

For *eye candy* you can create a dummy ability based off e.g. Critical Strike for the hero.

I can help you, just give me a minute or too

EDIT : Oh, someone beat me to it

 

[NoNZealot]

Ah, the unit picks... Thank you so much I didn't even think about them. Great ideas! I was thinking for that for 2 days O_O. + rep ! Oh what will happen if my aura has more than 1 level? ? It doesn't accept hero skills. I'm trying to make it for a hero . Sorry I missed that little detail.

 

[Eleandor]

In that case, you make the dummy critical strike ability to have n (e.g. 3) levels, and the endurance aura inside the spellbook have 3 levels too.

• Events
  • Time - Every 0,1 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - pick every unit of unit type YourHero and do actions
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (all conditions are true) then do (then actions) else do (else actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • Picked unit's HP <50%
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Ability - Set level of MySpellBookAbility to 2 for picked unit
        • Else - Actions
          • Unit - Ability - Set level of MySpellbookAbility to 1 for picked unit

This trigger is still the same (and the Map Initialization trigger is still required too)

• Events
  • Unit - a unit learns a skill
• Conditions
  • Learned skill is equal to "TheDummyAbility"
• Actions
  • Unit - Ability - set level of (ModifiedEnduranceAura) to level of "TheDummyAbility"

ModifiedEnduranceAura being the endurance aura inside the spellbook and "TheDummyAbility" the passive ability based on e.g. Critical Strike.

I'm not entirely sure if that works, but you could test it by not disabling the spellbook ability yet and simply opening the book to see the level of endurance aura.

Razorbrain if you can think of a better solution (I wouldn't be surprised if you could ), feel free to post it anyway

 

[Just_Spectating]

instead of an endurance aura, you can use the tornadospin(slowaura)

 

[Altazen]

Hmm. But then the icon doesn't show if you base it on Slow Aura, eh?

 

[NoNZealot]

Hey there's still a problem that SPELL BOOK ABILITY ONLY LETS UNIT OR ITEM ABILITIES IN!!!!. lol :ı. Strange situation

 

[Dr Super Good]

yes, so you can always change hero abilities into item / unit abilities remember. The one field you have to change called something like is hero abilitiy or is item ability.

 

[Altazen]

But still: Tornado's Slow aura has no normal icon.

 

[NoNZealot]

Is that make a difference if abilitys class is changed? Like that was supposed to be a hero ability but I change it to an unit ability.
[EDIT] Trigger won't work due to the spellbook itself. Also tooltips won't show and also trigger itself didn't even work!!! :O Razorbrain, what was your idea? Perhaps it can have some use to me.

 

[Eleandor]

Arrogant as it may sound, I'm sure my trigger works perfect. The problem must lie at your implementation of it..

 

[NoNZealot]

Then try it. I did whatever it said from every word to letter. Try with endurance aura negative percentages and 4 levels. Try it and see it won't work

 

[PurplePoot]

I second Eleandor on this one. There's nothing wrong with what he posted; it isn't proper GUI, but the framework is there.

 

[NoNZealot]

Well it really doesn't work sorry if I said it in a rude way. It really doesn't ....

 

[PurplePoot]

We're not saying you posted anything rude. We're just saying it's most likely implementation, because that trigger looks "A-OK".

 

[Eleandor]

I changed the critical strike dummy into devotion aura dummy for technical reasons and solved a small bug in the trigger. However, even with the bug everything worked fine here...

The triggers are nothing too fancy and probably can be done better, but that's not my job.

 

[NoNZealot]

Thank you so much. It works great now. That variable did great job
