Passive Bladestorm spell?

[AstralJokers]

I'm trying to create a spell that has a % chance to cast Bladestorm for X second.
The problem is that I can't figure out what to do, to make the spell do this effect.

Explanation of How to make custom passive ability with % chance of activate would be really cool.

you just asked five things at once.

i'll take the first half of your problem, somebody else will take the second (or i will in a day or two)...

preparations:
make a dummy custom spell (passive). for example make a copy of attribute bonus, set all bonuses to 0 on all levels, choose an icon and write tooltips. let's say you called it MyPassiveAbility...

events and conditions

example 1: unit has 7 / 11 / 17% chance to do something when it is attacked by enemy units:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit is atacked [color=blue](generic unit event)[/color]
• Conditions
  • Level of MyPassiveAbility for (Attacked Unit) greater than 0 [color=blue](<-only true for units that have the ability)[/color]
• Actions
  • Set Temp1 = 7 [color=blue](chance for level 1)[/color]
  • If Level of MyPassiveAbility for (Attacked Unit) equals 2
    • Then - Actions
      • Set Temp1 = 11
  • If Level of MyPassiveAbility for (Attacked Unit) equals 3
    • Then - Actions
      • Set Temp1 = 17
  • Set Temp2 = Random integer between 1 and 100 [color=blue](look under 'math')[/color]
  • If Temp2 less then or equal to Temp1
    • Then - Actions
      • [color=red][i](do the spell thingy here)[/i][/color]

percent chance is the simplest thing up there - you just say "Set R = Random integer between 1 and 100". there is 15% chance that R<=15, 16% chance that R<=16 and so on...

example 2: unit has 8 / 11 / 14% chance to do something when it attacks an enemy unit:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit is atacked [color=blue](generic unit event)[/color]
• Conditions
  • Level of MyPassiveAbility for (Attack[b]ing[/b] Unit) greater than 0 [color=blue](<-only true for units that have the ability)[/color]
• Actions
  • Set Temp1 = 5 + 3 * (Level of MyPassiveAbility for Attacking Unit) [color=blue](chance for any level in one move)[/color]
  • Set Temp2 = Random integer between 1 and 100 [color=blue](there is always this part)[/color]
  • If Temp2 less then or equal to Temp1
    • Then - Actions
      • [color=red][i](do the spell thingy here)[/i][/color]

now how to do the bladestorm thingy? that is for some other lesson as i gotta run...

p.s. (to others guys don't make this into yet another "omg, he used the unit-is-attacked event"... there are places he can read about that later.

Well, the explanation was how about to make the bladestorm thingy.. and btw, the variable TempX doesn't tell me what is that variable name.. =)
Thanks anyway for this post, i'll bookmark it. +rep =)..
Still need an answer for the bladestorm thingy.
It's kinda like Axe in Dota, but you must attack to make bladestorm activate

Note, by the owneer pressing Stop(S) a lot while attacking it will cause it to trigger more than it should. To easily fix that make the owning unit have a 0.0 animation backwards swing for attack.
