Ray spell help...

[~Void~]

I have a spell that gives a 100% chance to activate on attacks, but can only activate every 10 seconds. I used Pulverize to make the base ability, and it works fine, but I can't figure out what to do next.
I want it so that when the spell triggers, it fires out a line of explosions (holy light graphic) in the direction the hero is facing. The amount of explosions would be 6+(lvl*2).
I also want this spell to be in jass, because although I suck at it, I try to use as little GUI as possible because it's so annoying to use.

Someone please tell me exactly which functions I need to use and I will probably be able to figure out the rest.

Thanks,
~Void~

What would be the distance between each holy light ?
And you want the event to be when the unit casts the spell ? im not sure as if this works with passive abilities.

Passive spell with cooldown?
For that you can use the item ability Orb of Lightning (new)
Set the chance to hit to 100% and only change the cooldown of your original spell. Don't change the cooldown of orb of lightning.

However theres a bug with Orb of Lightning (new). It only casts if the unit gets an order to attack. That means if the unit attacks automatically the spell won't be casted.

Well I made this which fires when you cast a spell (change rawcode) but im not sure if it will fire when a passive ability fires.

function Trig_NewTrigger_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A000'
endfunction
function Trig_NewTrigger_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit whichUnit = GetTriggerUnit()
    local real angle = GetUnitFacing(whichUnit)
    local real x = GetUnitX(whichUnit)
    local real y = GetUnitY(whichUnit)
    local integer num = GetUnitAbilityLevel(whichUnit, 'A000') * 2 + 6
    local integer i = 0
    local effect e
    loop
        exitwhen i == num
        set x = x + 50 * Cos(angle * bj_DEGTORAD)
        set y = y + 50 * Sin(angle * bj_DEGTORAD)
        set e = AddSpecialEffect("Abilities\\Spells\\Human\\HolyBolt\\HolyBoltSpecialArt.mdl", x, y)
        call DestroyEffect(e)
        call UnitDamagePoint(whichUnit, 0, 25, x, y, 100, true, false, ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL, DAMAGE_TYPE_UNIVERSAL, WEAPON_TYPE_WHOKNOWS) 
        set i = i + 1
    endloop
    set whichUnit = null
endfunction

//==== Init Trigger NewTrigger ====
function InitTrig_NewTrigger takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_NewTrigger = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_NewTrigger, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition(gg_trg_NewTrigger, Condition(function Trig_NewTrigger_Conditions))
    call TriggerAddAction(gg_trg_NewTrigger, function Trig_NewTrigger_Actions)
endfunction

If you need help with changing values and stuff just ask.

Wouldnt it damage allies (out of my bussiness)

 

[GhostWolf]

As long as the request didn't say anything about who's gonna take damage, im not going to extra work (dude thats like +2 lines ! ) and make it damage only enemys/whatever.

 

[Need_O2]

you are right...

 

[vicktor.hebat]

How can we make a spell which triggered passively but have cooldown that functioned to cancel enemy's incoming spell?

 

[GhostWolf]

How can we start our own threads insead of asking all our questions in other people's threads ?
