[Trigger] Passive Minion Creation

[aznsteph]

Well, what i want is like a passive skill that when my hero kills units, it has a certain % to create an undead unit that will constantly follow him and attack for
him but it cant be clicked and theres a limit in the number of minions, as the level of the skill gets higher, so does the limit.

Is it hard to make and if possible, will someone help me with it?

Actualy very easy to create.
Search for the 'Orb of Slow' in your ability editor.
Turn it into a Hero skill and edit the ability to your willing.
'Data - Effect Ability' is the ability what should be casted when the passive skill is used.
Hint : use Carrion Beetles for the maximum limit of summons.

Oh ok thanks alot ^^ but if i make a custom ability based on your carrion beetles can i change the unit thats created and the limit?

 

[Xarwin]

Ofcourse you can.
Create a new 'carrion beetles' ability and check it for the amount of units created.

 

[aznsteph]

ah alright, thanks for the help

 

[Xarwin]

You're welcome.
If something goes wrong just ask it.

Hey Heero i tried and it didnt work out that well, like i can see the custom aura i imported but i see like an empty square and a carrion beetle ability button that i cant click...kinda weird could you fix it? If not than thanks anyways

You can't click on it because it's a passive.

In other news, you'd have to code the AI part manually. Vexorian made an Independent Summons system, but if you have no idea how to use Jass then you're out of luck with it.

 

[aznsteph]

lol yea i dont know anything about jass...but the problem is that it wont create the minions...

 

[Xarwin]

Hmm, it is possible that it doesn't work ..

Try to use a storm bolt ability in place of the carrion beetles.
If the storm bolt works then the carrion beetles skill won't go together with the Orb ability -> in that case some triggers are required.

You could just have a dummy cast black arrow on it on an x% chance using triggers (even GUI could work easily)
