Runic TD has what I want but...

[Rykon-V73]

... every time I try to open that map in Warcrat 3 world editor, the editor itself crashes. I think it has to do with my PC. Still, can anyone examine it? It has the passive chain lightning spell that I want.

The author probably used a 3rd party software on their map, removing some editor-only files. Resulting in your editor failing to open that map.

OFF: I thought you managed to make that ability, judging from that other topic of yours.

I did try to use Kaijyuu's method. That had no effect and then I tried the tutorial Rheiko showed, but no result there either.

Weird... it works for me.

• Enforce OOL to work properly
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Level of Chain Lightning [OOL] for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Attack (Triggering unit)
    • Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

Anyway, I'm attaching a map so you can compare it with yours.

 

[Rykon-V73]

Okay. I'll check it out.
Except changing the name from Chain Lightning to Additional Charge and included it in the Demon Tower, I did everything right. Does the damage have to be 1-1?
Can I send you the map and tell me what's wrong? I did everything right this time and still no result. And it would have been wise to make the spell passive and also had a chance.

Well, the tower base damage is configured as 1-1 because I thought the chain lightning should be the real source of damage. So, increasing it to any other value will damage the primary target twice. Also, do note when transferring object editor data from a map to another, generally, makes the RawID of objects to change. So, you need to make sure these fields are configured correctly:

Spoiler

Ability

Unit - Give OOL to your tower

Make sure your trigger has its condition block configured properly

• (Level of Chain Lightning [OOL] for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0

NOTE: The OOL ability is the one where you should configure the chance to cast chain lightning at enemy units. That was just an example, and I forgot that you have mentioned the 20% chance.

EDIT: Post your map here if you can't make it work.

One can use MPQ Editor to access the map files directly. One can look up how certain triggers are implemented by looking at the JASS map script file. This file might be obfuscated so can be hard to read. Search for the appropriate event constants for what you want to do, that can help find the starting point of the triggers you are interested in.

I suggest trying to contact the map author and ask if he can give a copy of the desired triggers. If he does not respond then resort to the reverse engineering approach described above.

 

[Rykon-V73]

Here it is, BloodSoul.
It has more upgrades and tests.

 

[BloodSoul]

Sorry for taking TOO long to reply to this thread. I checked your map, and you gave the wrong ability to your tower. You should give the Orb of Lightning [OOL] one instead of the Chain Lightning itself.

I did manage to do this, but thanks for the suggestion anyway.
