Hi all,
I already posted a similar question about Warpath.
This time it's about Quill Spray though, which seems to be even more difficult...
The description from the Dota 2 wiki (Bristleback):
Whereas Warpath could be done by tracking a Timer (with custom value) for the caster only, here one needs to also tie the stacks to the caster(s) AND target(s).
@Devalut once created this trigger for me, but I realized that the stacks are meant to be independent of each other, i.e. if you hit an enemy, you don't reset the full stack, just add 1 stack for 14 seconds.
Could someone please help add the independence between the stacks?
Also, ideally I'd also like to change the code so that it deals damage via Bribes Damage Engine instead of "checking every 0.05 seconds".
Mainly for 2 reason: a) then I can increase the very low 0.05 timer, and b) the base ability is based on Fan of Knives, which is recognizes by Bribe's Damage Engine even at 0 damage. By working with the DamageEventAmount, I can more cleanly use for example SFXs on spell lifesteal whenever the ability is fired (currently it fires twice).
However, If the trigger is adjusted this way, one needs to consider the interaction between "Bristleback" (the ability):
Again... not exactly sure how to implement all these requirements into one ability.
Many thanks!
