Passive chain lightning item - Maelstrom - dota 1

[DemonHunterGI]

Hello ! I would like to know how can I make an item which passively casts chain lightning on auto-attack.Thanks !

 

[Diegoit]

Do u mean "auto-attack" like Fire arrows?.

If no i have a map here.

 

[DemonHunterGI]

Yes , thank you very much.Would this work with other abilities such as frost nova, breath of fire etc ?

 

[Diegoit]

Yeah.

 

[DemonHunterGI]

What about a passive chain lightning on auto attacks hero skill?Would that work ?

 

[DemonHunterGI]

Also,about the trigger which you provided :

Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Attacked unit)

Unit-Targeted Unit Order doesn't have every spell like breath of fire or breath of frost. Are the options listed there the only one available or I am missing something ?

 

[Rheiko]

That option exists. You can find it in "Unit - Issue Order Targeting a Point"

The trigger should look like this

• Set TempPoint = (Position of (Attacked unit))
• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Pandaren Brewmaster - Breath Of Fire TempPoint
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

or this

• Set TempPoint = (Position of (Attacked unit))
• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral - Breath Of Frost TempPoint
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral - Breath Of Frost TempPoint
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

Ya, that is to casts spells like Shocking wave or Carrion swarm.

 

[DemonHunterGI]

Yes, it works but the spell isnt casting in front of my unit, it's going downwards

 

[Rheiko]

Lower your dummy unit's flying height.

 

[DemonHunterGI]

Thanks ! But what about a spell being randomly cast at an unit which attacks the owner of the item ?

 

[DemonHunterGI]

The Breath of fire/frost spell works fine but I want it to be casted in front of the item's owner,is it possible ?

 

[Rheiko]

I already gave you the sample trigger exactly for the spell to appear in front of the item's owner. You created the dummy at the attacking unit position which makes the dummy cast the spell right at that place. You should create the dummy at the caster's location facing the attacking unit.

 

[DemonHunterGI]

Yes,it works now !
