Please help with spawning spell

[Knightmawk]

I want to make a spell, similar to dark arrow, that spawns a unit from a killed one. Except in this case I don't want to make it a spell that autocasts, I want to make it an ability that has a percentage of happening, like has a 15% chance to spawn unit x from killed unit.

Is there a way I can do this without triggers? and if not, how do I do it with triggers?

I know this same thread is up already but I accidently posted it as solved last time

Describe exactly what this spell must do?

If its basically a target spell with % chance to spawn on death, then use triggers to deal the damage. If the damage was fatal (unit is dead after dealing damage) then do your random % statment (if random integer between 0 and 99 < 15) and if that passes then create a minion, if not then do nothing.

That is if the spell you want deals a large sum of damage and on killing does that. If you mean the unit is cursed for X seconds with that curse to spawn a minion on death, then something else is needed.

Like I said, you need to be more clear as dark arrow does not spawn a unit from a killed one, it spawns a unit from a unit that dies to it.

Hai.

I made this in a minute, I believe it's what you're asking for?

I think this is what you want, I didnt test it, but it should work. Just take the ability Sphere, change its values, give it some icons, and set the Buff field to Black Arrow. It should work, if it doesn't ,tell me and I'll figure out why.

• Dark Arrow
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) has buff Black Arrow) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set ArrowChance = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ArrowChance Less than or equal to 15
      • Then - Actions
        • Set UnitLoc = (Position of (Attacked unit))
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of (Attacking unit)) at UnitLoc facing Default building facing degrees
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_UnitLoc)
      • Else - Actions
    • Set ArrowChance = 0

Hopefully it works, I'll keep the trigger around just incase.

Lol, that's pretty much exactly my system, except mine has levels and special effects

btw you don't have to reset ArrowChance.

It's set to a new value the next time trigger runs Oo

 

[Coolty44]

Meh, All I'd need to do is maybe change 2-3 lines at the most for level, and the arrow effects come from the ability its basd on, thank god for an ability that does nothing but effects

 

[Dr Super Good]

Dieing units do not have buffs.... So I have no clue how your triggers are meant to work...

 

[dansaDisco]

I think it's meant to be "killing unit", not triggering.

Mine works. i tested it

if you use killing unit, i would base the buff off an aura (with target self only) with no effects, probably the easiest thing to do, although sphere should work too
