[General] Orb of Slow

[Marebre]

What I wanted: to make a Chain-Lightning-Orb ability (instead of attack it will cast chain lightning on target).

What I did: Made a custom Chain Lightning with 0 mana cost and 0 cooldown, made a custom Orb of Slow (Alsb) ability linked to Chain Lightning.

What went wrong: Although I set chance to 100%, it procs only on ordered attacks (not on auto attacks).

What now: is there any way around that?

Use a damage detection system. On an on damage event, create a dummy for the damaging target and order it to cast chain lightning on the "damaged" target.

Fair enough.

But what I really meant was why doesn't orb-spell work as I intended? Am I missing something or is the ability simply flawed?

From my experience on playing Dota, it will only proc when it is an Ordered Attack (From Nerubian Weaver's Geminate Attack).

It is a hard-coded issue, the ability is simply flawed.

I wish everyone else had this kind of post sectioning...

You can use a DDS for that.
