What is a "Shadow Bolt" and "Essence Aura" ?
Please, we can't read your mind.

 

[CroMoX]

are these abilities from dota? Because essence aura is similar, to outworld destroyer.

Anyway, your shadow bolt, if it's a missle will need a missle system, to detect when the dummy missle hits the target to deal the damage based on intelligence

Just and example of one: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...rev=search=Missle%20System&r=20&d=list&page=2

EDIT: but do give a better description please, so we know exactly what you want

No. 1, configure your spell and also its missile then make a trigger about it. For the damage you can do this part:

• Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Triggering unit), dealing (Real((Intelligence of (Casting unit) (Include bonuses)))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

but I should warn you that the damage will be late because your spell is a missile type and it will ignore if your missile has already hitted the enmy or not.

For essence aura,use an event A unit starts the effect of the ability.Then in the conditions,check if the Triggering Unit has a buff equal to Essence Aura Buff.In the actions,use Unit - Set Mana of Triggering Unit to the value you want.

defskull : sry for that ... essence aura is spell of "Destroyer" from DotA map. and shadow bolt is like a missile spell that deals dmg ... got that ?

Cromox : yes, essence aura is from DotA and im stuck in how it buff's work but shadow bolt isn't form DotA (i think ...), and for a better description : i want a missile spell that deals damage after it hitted the target based on casting hero's intelligence .

Hellmaster : and thats my problem

Almia : so i must make a custom buff for it ???

Tnx ALL

Edit : oh and i want that missile spell to be autocast

Maybe create a waiting time for it but it will maybe requires you to be careful..... or either remove the spell's missile and do it also in the trigger itself together with the damage.

@Mootiz
Yes,because Essence Aura is an aura. Checking if the level of the ability is not enough and may not guarantee the allied casters with the aura buff will work. So buff is the solution.

 

[MooTiZ]

ok ... Essence aura spell is done.

lets think about missile spell ..... what if i make an instant dmg spell instead of missile spell ??? that will dmg the target instantly like shadowraze of SF from DotA ....

 

[Almia]

That would be better.

 

[deathismyfriend]

u should really explain the spell if u want ppl to help not everyone has played dota lol

 

[MooTiZ]

oh ... a problem :|

essence aura got Chance to regenerate mana .... but how can i make an aura with Chance ????

Untitled Trigger 001 Events Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability Conditions Actions If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions ((Triggering unit) has buff Essence Aura) Equal to True Then - Actions If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 40 Then - Actions Unit - Set mana of (Triggering unit) to ((Mana of (Triggering unit)) + 25.00)% Else - Actions Else - Actions [/stable]

Thanks undeadimmortal ....

Essence Aura Done ... working on Intell-Based spell .....

If you want a missile, and you want the damage to happen when the missile hits, then you're going to have to custom code the missile. If all you care about is the intelligence damage, then you could make it instant, and simply cause damage and a special effect. I'm actually not sure how to make it auto cast to be perfectly honest. Maybe base it off of an existing auto cast ability (such as slow), and have a dummy buff with an extremely short duration such has .01 seconds. However, I've never tried this, and it may not cause the caster to continuously cast at the same target.

 

[CroMoX]

Or you just use an ability like Storm Bolt or shadow strike (if you want instant hit), and make it so it has no missle. I suggest using shadow strike with no missle, no slow, no damage, this is because storm bolt, if you set it to 0 stun it will stun forever.

If you want an effect, change Art - Target Effect or trigger it.

The reason you set the damage to 0 for shadow strike, is because you just triggger all the damage.

 

[Binsu]

Try this trigger for the Shadow Bolt:

• Shadow Bolt
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Shadow Bolt
  • Actions
    • Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing (Real((Intelligence of (Casting unit) (Include bonuses)))) damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal

Just to note, make an ability based on Storm Bolt for the Shadow Bolt then set its Duration Hero and Normal to 0.01 to avoid stuns.... 0.00 will make stun so permanent so it is not advised. Change the damages to 0 and let the trigger handle it and lastly the missile you want.

Test map also availabe below!
