[Spell] Passively triggered Ability

[Mechcash]

Is there a relatively simple way for an amateur to make an ability, which triggers automatically, when a certain hp treshold is reached. Basically after 25% hp lost... happens, after 50 % are lost.... happens

I have no idea of coding or triggers so don't be to harsh to me

You can use this to make a passive ability with a cooldown, but it will still require more triggers to detect when the units reach a certain life threshold and the ability isn't on cooldown. Essentially you put all the units you want to monitor in a group and then with a trigger that runs off a 0.25s repeating timer you look through the group and see each unit is below the threshold. If so you remove cargo hold from the unit and the passive effect goes off, which you can do whatever with.

The way you code it from there on out depends on what the actual effect you want to achieve is. Some effects will necessitate a damage detection system, but not every one does.

I'm still waiting to hear back about what else that trick can do...

What, the only passive with a cooldown isn't enough functionality out of one ability?

Given nearly two years I think you could have tested the spellbook thing yourself, lol. My best guess is that giving it a valid but unresearched techtree requirement the ability will appear greyed out w/ yellow text, but with an invalid rawcode it crashes the internal code that displays the requirements so nothing appears as if you had disabled the ability.

What?

I'm not sure I follow; I wasn't referring to Spellbooks, just this "passive with cooldown" trick using Exhume Corpse. Like, normally I discover something new (e.g. "hey, Cloud does stack!"), I relatively quickly get a grasp on what it can be used for (e.g. "...so that means I can modify AS & MS & miss chance & 'attack' disabling at will!...").

However with this, I don't really know what one would do with it.
