Passive/Auto cast abilities

Stat spell damage

I searched for a while and i couldn't really find an answer... all i could find is something about damage detection systems wich i dont know, so i will ask it.

How can you make a passive ability (based on bash) deal strength x level of ability for unit? SOLVED

How can you make an auto cast ability (based on fire arrow) deal strength x level of ability for unit? SOLVED

How can you make a spell (based on shockwave) deal damage to units it hit (in a line toward where it fire it)? SOLVED

chain lightning problem in trigger SOLVED

frost barrage, problem in trigger... SOLVED

Tripple Elemental Arrow spell bug UNSOLVED

Basicaly, in my map, every spell will deal an extra primary attribute x spell level, heals will heal an extra primary attribute x spell lvl, passive and auto cast too, etc...

~Thanks

How can you make a passive ability (based on bash) deal strength x level of ability for unit?

Make a dummy ability, like evasion with 0%. And every time the unit attack check if the damaging unit have that ability and run a integer check like

if GetRandomInt(1,100) <= PRECENT_CHANCE then
    //STUN
endif

How can you make a spell (based on shockwave) deal damage to units it hit (in a line toward where it fire it)?

Regular shockwave does that? if you mean it deal damage based on str you need too make a custom shockwave trigger

 

[jonhpath]

I dont know jass but i know what you mean i can do that in gui lol but it mean re making my spell wich iw as hoping to avoid.... guess ill have to do it...

shockwave deals its damage plus the primary stat of the caster wich is strength. I dont know how to make a trigger for that... it's not in range of the caster because it's not a circle around the caster, it's a line of about 125 area of effect to a distance of 800...

EDIT:
i came up with that for the bash ^^ i think it's pretty good

Trigger

• flame strike
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Geomancer
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Equal to flamestrikechances
      • Then - Actions
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Attacked unit) using Abilities\Weapons\PhoenixMissile\Phoenix_Missile.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • Unit - Cause (Attacking unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 100.00 at (Position of (Attacked unit)), dealing (flamestrikedamage + ((Real((Level of Flame Strike for (Attacking unit)))) x (Real((Strength of (Attacking unit) (Include bonuses)))))) damage of attack type Hero and damage type Fire
      • Else - Actions

I know it leaks but for some reason i dont fix leaks for now in my map... it takes more time to make the trigger and i just wan to advance right now so ill pass the whole codage through leak check later lol

 

[Ciebron]

Instead of checking unit-type you can check if the attacker have the ability > 0

 

[jonhpath]

Yeah lol but hes the only hero with the ability so it doesnt matter. For the auto cast ability and shockwave is there a way? i'm compleately lost on this one...

EDIT: will this work for shockwave? (it's called fire burst, geomancer is a unit variable set uppon picking the hero. and the damage of the actual spell is in the object editor.)

• fireburst cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Fire Burst
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn on fire burst <gen>
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off fire burst <gen>

V not initially on V

• fire burst
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Attacking unit)) Equal to (Owner of geomancer)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Cause (Attacking unit) to damage (Attacked unit), dealing ((Real((Level of Fire Burst for (Attacking unit)))) x (Real((Strength of geomancer (Include bonuses))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

 

[Ciebron]

Thats not a shockwave spell, it will for one second after he cast the spell every attack the hero make (not spells) will deal more damage. A shockwave spell is much more advanced then that.

this is how a custon shockwave work. when the hero cast the spell.

You create a dummy unit (with locust, so it cant be targeted nor damaged), then every, lets day 0.03 second you move it some distance (not a high amount 5-30 distance depending on the speed you want), Also every time you move it you pick all enemy around the dummy unit and damage them (Damage circular area, damage all units. Even your own, allies and enemies). And when you have reach the distance you want you stop the timer and kill the dummy

 

[jonhpath]

Oh ok i understand... Well i had hoped mine would pick every unit bein attacked my the spell but i guess it's harder than that hehe... Your spell will hit pultiple times the same target if it's every 0.03 sec that it deal damage right? I wan mine to damage every unit once, like the real spell.

Thanks btw for the help now all i need left is the auto cast spell to be able to deal aditional damage via trigger. Is that even possible?

EDIT: i dont get how you make the unit move in the direction you wan... am stuck now:

gui

• fire burst
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Casting unit) Equal to geomancer
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Fire Burst
  • Actions
    • Set fireburstlocation = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Create 1 fireburst for (Owner of geomancer) at (Position of geomancer) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set fireburst = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Cause geomancer to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius (120.00 + (5.00 x (Real((Level of Fire Burst for geomancer))))) at (Position of fireburst), dealing ((Real((Strength of geomancer (Include bonuses)))) x (Real((Level of Fire Burst for geomancer)))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Fire
    • Wait 0.03 seconds

One problem with "damage area" is that it hurts allies too (think) plus you use waits.

Make a missile, and have a second trigger move it every few seconds. Then with the same second trigger, have it check too see if there are any units in the area around it (the size of the missile), and damage them accordingly.

 

[jonhpath]

What i'm asking for is how to move the dummy lol i think i figured it out tho but i got a problem with my trigger... i made it in jass bc am trying to learn it but i get an error saying "unexpected return" and i dont get why :s

EDIT:
How come this deals no damage to units from player gray?! (it's supose to damage only gray) I dont get it i'm working on it and reworking and nothing seems to work... can anyone tell me whats wrong with my code?

"How can you make an auto cast ability (based on fire arrow) deal strength x level of ability for unit? SOLVED"

Way too easy... I've been working on things like these in the last days so...

• FIRE ARROW TARGET
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Fire Arrows
  • Actions
    • Set FATarget = (Target unit of ability being cast)

• FIRE ARROW
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Fire Arrows
  • Actions
    • Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage FATarget, dealing ((Real((Agility of FATarget (Include bonuses)))) x (Real((Level of Searing Arrows for (Casting unit))))) damage of attack type Normal and damage type Normal

I think that works

 

[InfinateAnswers]

• Fire Arrow
  • Events
    • Unit - Unit starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • Ability being cast equal to Fire Arrow
  • Actions
    • Set LevelOfFireArrow = (level of ability being cast)
    • Set FireArrowDamage = (Real(LevelOfFire) x (strength of (triggering unit)
    • -------------------
    • Unit - Damage (target of ability being cast) for FireArrowDamage.....

Try that

 

[Kanadaj]

  • Events
    • Unit - Unit starts the effect of an ability

    • Set FireArrowDamage = (Real(LevelOfFire) x (strength of (triggering unit)
    • -------------------
    • Unit - Damage (target of ability being cast) for FireArrowDamage.....

Try that

For me it's buggy because when the effect starts, the ability could do it's own removelocation and etc. So I usually make a pretarget trigger, but it can work too

 

[jonhpath]

I solved it by making a spell based on battle roar and deactivated the buff. When the ability is cast, for 15 sec the hero dead extra dmg at the cost of mana with a cooldown of 30 sec. It's not an auto cast but i find it beter that way its more custom i prefer it that way. You cant deactivate it either and i also prefer it that way lol.

I got another question, i made a spell based on chain lightning that is called chain lightning arrow. the hero has an animation of attack and fire a chain lightning when casting it, it should bounce on 4 targets. I wan that spell to deal the damage it's supose to plus (agi x spell level) so i made a trigger for the whole spell, the actual spell cast only to one target and deals no damage. Here is the trigger (a bit of a mess but i dont know how to make it shorter)

The spell is a bit messy, there's alway a lightning that go hit the same door, even if i'm really far... Anyway to fix this or make a beter trigger? I was thinking about doing it in jass but with my knowlage it will take 1~2 hours and i dont have the time today nor tomorrow so i touth of asking if it can be working correctely in gui..

Set it to this else it'll do weird things-I'm wondering it even works! (1st Lightning effect's target)

 

[jonhpath]

It doesn't matter... I dont fix leaks at the moment i'm waiting tioll i have a descent map because i;m not familiar with leaks (dont know how to fix them unless i have the page where it tells them) so it would take time and i just dont feel like it loll

 

[Kanadaj]

Then finish the triggers then send http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php upload here the map and send me the link in PM or to some1 who is online at that time (will be in Italy for a week from Saturday) because THW community is really good at it

 

[jonhpath]

I guess i could... well i'll think about it... not that i dont trust you.. it's just that i had work stolen in the past and i put a lot of time in this map, with my skills it dont give something that great but i guess its still my best..

Still i'll really consider it because it would be great as i have a great deal of triggers in my map but i;m far to be done. i plan on having 6 hero each with 4 skill per spell book in 4 spell book, and 4 more skill epr spell book buyable with wood, each skill triggered as it deal stat damage..and thats just the heros

I'm thinking aobut waiting for an official release to remove leaks but there will be a lot of codage so it it a good idea?

 

[Kanadaj]

Well you can wait nearly until the release, but consider that when you finish the map you'll have to try it until the end, and with so many leaks your PC will freeze at half-time Anyway I'm making a map with the same style The differences are it'll have more heroes instead of 4spellbooks/heroes (lol) and it'll be an ORPG if I finish it

Edit: Could you tell me which lgightningh hit the door? (1st/2nd/3rd etc.)

 

[jonhpath]

I'm not sure... It's weird... There's a lightning that goes from me to the first enemy, the second go to another enemy and so on but there's a lightning that go to the door but like it wasnt part of the chain, it break it. Maybe it's the alst one...(cant realy see it quick enough)

If there's a way to make this jass it would be great.

 

[Kanadaj]

Jonhpath I suggest you to put in long wait commands and Debug game messages in the cases like this so you can make the search easyerr

 

[jonhpath]

Yeah your right ill try that and tell the results here when i got some. For now, i took a 2 days break from mapping for now, i dont know if i will be mapping today nor tomorow as i dont have much time right now. Thanks for helping me tho

EDIT: There's a problem i have i'd liek someone to explain it piss me off so dam bad!

The function: Unit - Pick every unit Matching condition seem to not work... Every time i try to make a trigger that pick every unit in a region owned by player gray, it just dont pick any unit even tho i'm surounded by gray's unit...Ex:

All that happens is my hero cast the spell, it hit an enemy with lightning and write "primary unit", nothing else happens...

You write a wrong match... ((Owner of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Equal to Player 9 (Gray)))) It's wrong!
Try this: ((Owner of (Mathing unit) Equal to Player 9 (Gray))))

You actualy made me figure a bit more about unit groups like picked unit wont occur when the group is made you need to put matching unit. Thanks! You deserve 2 rep hehe

EDIT: I made a spell based on channel, it's a multi shot that you cast (has cooldown) and will freeze enemies. It attack 4 random units.

The spell start, the unit stop and play the animation attack, like it's supose to but nothing else happens after, my hero start attacking the creeps like nothing was supose to happen...Any idea?

Sorry about double post but it's a new question so re editing a post doesnt mean it will be seen

I made a spell called tripple elemental arrow. You cast it based on forked lightning (chain is already used) and it will chain to 4 units, dealing damage to every units within (300 + 10 x spell level area) of each of these 4 units. The spell works, but it doesnt alway hit 4 units.
I set debug messages in the trigger, wich tells me on how many unit it bounced. I alway test it in the same group of monsters, wich i put in the map. They are testing creeps there are about 20 of them so it shouldnt be a problem to pick 4... Sometimes the spell hit all 4 units, sometimes 3, sometimes 2 but never just 1. Can anyone light me up on that one? Ive never seen that...
