Need this solved very much

[Impac7]

I have a very good idea for items - to use only items with non-passive abilities instead of using orb of fire or any of them that dont change the range of unit using item with such ability.

You know that items dont use hotkeys but Num pads. I want to make an ability for item with which by pumping the numpad to mass shoot a target. The ability will be 0 cooldown and with missile art, with the dseired range you know for weapon. I thought of smth like:

Unit starts the effect of an ability
Ability being cast equal to (the item ability)

Variable: set WeaponTarget = Target unit of ability being cast.

Ok Now i need a trigger with which by pumping that Num Pad to target the (variable). It can be an order the same casting unit to cast the same ability (not sure if it works) but tehre is no event unit presses Num Pad, there is only Up Down left right. It can be ANY event that can make the mass pressing of a certain button to mass cast the ability from the item. Pls help

why not just use them using the item? (like make it a base item, when used is removed and replaced with item x. when item x is used add Y to integer Damage. they then have to click or press the item as many times in Z seconds, after whitch a dummy unit deals damage = integer Damage, as well as removing the charge item, and giving back the orginal item.)

You are offering me to create a dummy at the caster and make what i want like damaging, missile effects, oredered abilities to be cast on the already existing variable-target unit of ability being cast of the item. And in this way they will shoot smoething and it wont be order like pumping a hot key Num pad. I want to make it with pumpung got it ? Like a weapon which you use and dont use.

Well... because there are already people who made abilities with 0 cooldown, when you pump the hot key (example : the map 'Pilot system' where planes by pumping their 'machine gun' abilities cause damage on the front. The Problem is that items use Num Pad hot keys and i dont know if it can be done with them, i dont know how to do it either. I want to pump these keys and the ability coming out of the items to damage in front of the caster.

the only button you can use for that is Esc - there is event called something like "Player skips cinematic". it actually means player presses Escape on keyboard and can be used ingame.

i hope this helps, but i must say that your idea is incredibly stupid...

You know that items dont use hotkeys but Num pads.

A hotkey is a key on the keyboard that takes the place of a click with the mouse

anyways, i cant say i really understand what u mean :?

#Edge wow what do you expect, i understand if not possible but what is the stupid in making a weapon shoot when you press something ? Thats more realistic than making a weapon shoot just when it is in your hero using orb of fire for example. And ? You have 2 weapons if you use passive what ? They will shoot the missile of the one that decides not to say will shoot with the range of the hero not the range of the ability.

By Hotkeys i mean that you cant use hotkeys of skills on item but num pads, not i dont know what is hotkey. I think i play enough bnet to know dont ya think ?

I will simply mass use num pad and mass target. Well this is the most realistic when you use the item to shoot, not to go automatically. 'Thanks 3.26ly again.'

Anyway thanks for the offers but this one seems to me less KBs for the map and less triggers and more realistic.
