passive

[HolyBear]

is there a passive ability that has a chance to proc a DOT?

 

[Chaosy]

not that I know of.

uhm, if there's an active ability that does a DoT, then you can couple it up with orb of lightning's ability... it will be orb-effect though...

This ability would be for an item, I'm trying to find the best way of doing it. Heres what i have so far. I don't really want the event to be, "A unit Is attacked" because then the trigger runs like the whole game :/
NOTE: I know some of the stuff is wrong, I'm just trying to get an idea of how I would do this.

Trig 1

• Item
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacked unit) has an item of type Alleria's Flute of Accuracy) Equal to (==) True
  • Actions
    • Set Rand[0] = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)
    • Set int = 4
      • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • Rand[0] Less than or equal to (<=) 15
        • Then - Actions
          • Set unit = (Attacked unit)
          • Trigger - Turn on time <gen>
        • Else - Actions

Trig 2

• time
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage unit, dealing 15.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
    • Set int = (int - 1)
      • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • int Equal to (==) 0
        • Then - Actions
          • Set unit = No unit
          • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        • Else - Actions

+ attacked is abusable...

anyway, you can find a single target spell that damages over time (or heals over time), then make an ability based on it... remove mana cost (cooldown if you want), then make another new ability based on Orb of lightning ability and make it use the DoT ability...

or using triggers, well you might wanna use a DDS for that...

OMG I LOVE YOU <3
I had no idea you could do that with orb of lightning xD

 

[Adiktuz]

but do take note than sometimes (or most?) it doesn't trigger if the unit just auto-acquired a target (standing unit, then somebody passed by?)... and that it's an orb effect

It never triggers if the unit auto-acquires a target (for nearly all abilities inside the OoL)
