Orb of Lightning (new) bug?

[Dil999]

I'm working with the ability Orb of Lightning (new) to create a passive chance for a hero to cast chain lightning upon attack. After noticing that it barely ever took effect I turned the chance to cast to 100%, and found a bug? It only works if you order the unit to attack, if it autoattacks it will not work. Is there any way (triggered or not) to make it so it always triggers?

Two solutions)

1) scrap orb of lightning and use an attack detection system

2) use the specific unit event A Unit Acquires a Target, and order the unit to Attack that target. The disadvantage of this method is that it loses attack-move orders.

That happens with all orb effects.

What about if it's set on 99.9% chance? Would it work on autoattack then?

 

[Dil999]

Nope Pyrite- even at 100% it only takes place when ordered to attack. I already solved this problem by using an attackdetect system, which was what i was trying to avoid >.>

 

[Pyritie]

No I meant before it was at 100% which didn't work, and I said try doing 99.9%, see if that makes any difference.

 

[Dil999]

Nope

Topic title is wrong.

The problem you are talking about isn't a bug, I think it got changed around patch 1.17. It was created to balance blademaster with orb of lightning (he is a monster in melee games). So it isn't a bug, more like a balance fix.

Try checking Game Constants, maybe they put something about it, so you can make it work like you want.
