[Spell] On hit spells

[Wolwy5]

Hello. I have problems making a spell and I would need some help, I don't know how to make it. I want to make a spell, that will cause the casters next attack to deal bonus damage and stun the enemy and knock it back (like a normal bash). But I want it to be an active ability. Like you cast it, and your next attack will bash. I tried it in different ways, but none of them works.

Then show your different ways.

GDD detection and hashtables can do this, the idea is;

- damage source activates the spell, then save integer to 1
- in the GDD trigger, check the handleID of the damage source if it's 1 then launch the
bash and knockout, simple huh?, no it's not simple but that's the idea ...

gdd = gui friendly damage detection

so damage detection is the keyword you will have to search for

I don't think you need a hastable for a single charge
a buff should do just fine
remove the buff if the target took damage

 

[mckill2009]

if you give a buff, it will be debuffed so the next attack will be null...

anyway, what to explain further, it works like this...

• Bash
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Thunder Clap
  • Actions
    • -------- get the ID and save the integer to a hashtable --------
    • Custom script: set udg_BashID = GetHandleId(GetTriggerUnit())
    • Hashtable - Save 1 as 1 of BashID in BashHash
    • Set BashOffIndex = (BashOffIndex + 1)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • BashOffIndex Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn on BashOn <gen>
      • Else - Actions

• BashOn
  • Events
    • Game - GDD_Event becomes Equal to 0.00
  • Conditions
    • (Level of Thunder Clap for GDD_DamageSource) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set udg_BashID = GetHandleId(udg_GDD_DamageSource)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Load 1 of BashID from BashHash) Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- this is the Bash/knockback start (too lazy to add it :) --------
        • Unit - Kill GDD_DamagedUnit
        • Set BashOffIndex = (BashOffIndex - 1)
        • -------- clearing the value so that this will not run again until the next ability cast --------
        • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child BashID in BashHash
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • BashOffIndex Equal to 0
          • Then - Actions
            • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
          • Else - Actions
      • Else - Actions

Keep in mind that if you use a damage detection system you cannot
know the difference between spell damage and physical damage (there
is no bug free way to detect it). So maybe you have a death coil that
acts like a bash.
