Night Spell

[Japut3h]

Ok this one is pretty simple...I want to make an aura spell that only works at night,like the Night Stalker from DoTA's speed increase.I made a dummy spell that doesnt give any bonuses,and a speed bonus spell that works during the night.Now i dont know which triggers i should use to make the spells replace properly when the time shifts.Please help!

Make the speed bonus spell (endurance aura??) have 2 levels, 1 having no speed bonus at all. Then make a trigger like this:

• Speed Bonus
• Events
  • Game - in-game time becomes 6 hours
• Actions
  • Unit - Set level of "SpeedBonusSpell" on unit to 1

• Speed Bonus activation
• events
  • Game - In-game time becomes 18.00 hours
• Actions
  • Unit - Set level of SpeedBonusSpell on unit to (level of Dummy spell + 1)

NONONONO
man what if its a hero ability

 

[TKF]

Clone a hero ability that doesn't appear, and use a trigger to add a unit type aura ability when you learn lv1 and level when you increase the levels.


What if you make it 4 levels (if the ability have 4 levels that is), the 4 first levels contains 0 value/empty, and the levels after 4 contains real values. This is only used to identify the aura level. Using 4+/- switch on triggers.

I posted his code down here:

(I didn't make it and I don't know if it work, you can look for yourself and see if it WOULD work)

Header:

function Day takes nothing returns integer
  return 'A000' 
endfunction 

function Night takes nothing returns integer
  return 'A001' 
endfunction 

function Night_Abil takes nothing returns boolean
  return ( GetUnitAbilityLevelSwapped('A001', GetTriggerUnit()) > 0 ) 
endfunction 

function Day_Abil takes nothing returns boolean
  return ( GetUnitAbilityLevelSwapped('A000', GetTriggerUnit()) > 0 )
endfunction

function Invis takes nothing returns integer
  return 'A002'
endfunction

//================================================================

Check Night

function CheckNight takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetBooleanOr( Day_Abil(), Night_Abil() )
endfunction

function Night_Action takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit Hunter GetTriggerUnit()
    call UnitRemoveAbilityBJ( Day(), Hunter )
    call UnitAddAbilityBJ( Night(), Hunter )
    set Hunter = null
endfunction



//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Hunter_at_Night takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Hunter_at_Night = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Hunter_at_Night, Condition( function CheckNight  ) )
    call TriggerRegisterGameStateEventTimeOfDay( gg_trg_Hunter_at_Night, GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL, 18.00 )
    call TriggerRegisterGameStateEventTimeOfDay( gg_trg_Hunter_at_Night, LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL, 6.00 )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Hunter_at_Night, function Night_Action )
endfunction

CheckDay

function CheckDay takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetBooleanOr( Day_Abil(), Night_Abil() )
endfunction

function Day_Action takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit Hunter GetTriggerUnit()
    call UnitRemoveAbilityBJ( Night(), Hunter )
    call UnitAddAbilityBJ( Day(), Hunter )
    set Hunter = null
endfunction

Really? Cause I had problem with both for this

 

[Eleandor]

If your ability has multiple levels, there's still no problem. That's why I said:

• Unit - Set level of SpeedBonusSpell on unit to (level of Dummy spell + 1)

Just make speedbonusspell have 1 more level than the dummy spell, and have it do nothing at level 1...

 

[Japut3h]

I cant do that,cause the spell is a hero spell...then it would have 2 times more levels than i wanted to,and i dont want that...Anyways,i found a somewhat simple way to do this,so its ok,thanks anyway

 

[Eleandor]

If your hero spell (which is a dummy by the way) has 10 levels, your speedbonusspell would need 11 levels... it's not that much work, is it?

 

[vicktor.hebat]

Why you use 18.00 time of day? Is it warcraft max time? Can't we use 24.00 or something else?

 

[~Void~]

FFS, not everyone knows about DotA! Please describe the spell more thoroughly...

 

[Japut3h]

The Hero gains increased attack and movement speeds at night.Multiple levels.During the day,the speeds go back to normal.

But i already made the spell a couple of days ago.Can a mod please close this thread so that people dont waste time trying to help with a solved problem?
