Scrolls with two abilities?

[Beelzebub]

In my map I want Scroll of the Beast to both give the increased damage AND heal nearby units for 400hp. If I give the item both the Roar (item) ability and the one used in Scroll of Restoration only one of the abilities is used.

Is there any way to accomplish this without using triggers? If not, is it possible to have a time limit for the effects?

 

[Razorbrain]

what do you mean by Limit for the Effects?

 

[RedBlade]

Cant without triggers. Except you find an ability that gives both dmg and heals nearby....

Time limit for the effects Razorbrain... and anyway, the healing and the roar have automatic time limit !

 

[Razorbrain]

oh, stupid me

 

[RedBlade]

Dont you think too it needs triggers to make that ?

 

[Razorbrain]

since i was asking a question about the "Time Limit of the Effect" which was after "If not" which was relying on "If it could be used without triggers", i think i was intending that it wasnt workable without triggers
Conclusion : I dont think its possible without triggers

yes, now i dont look as stupid anymore

 

[RedBlade]

Beelzebub, you are forced to use triggers it seems

 

[Beelzebub]

Yes.. How should I do it to get the time limit? Right now I have a trigger that adds the buff to nearby units when the item is used but that way the effect becomes permanent?

 

[RedBlade]

Dont think so. But in case it does, just continue the trigger so that few secs later the buff gets destroyed.

 

[Beelzebub]

I've made a trigger that adds the buff and then waits 45 seconds and then it is supposed to remove the buff, but it doesn't work. Nothing happens?

 

[Skudgemuffin]

Post the trigger.

So, you want an item that does the Roar effect, and an instant heal? Well, just do this...

• Its Go Time
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Uses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Scroll of the Beast
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 500.00 of (Position of (Hero manipulating item)) matching (((Owner of (Picked unit)) is an ally of (Triggering player)) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Picked unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Human\Heal\HealTarget.mdl
        • Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) + 400.00)

See? No need to worry about limiting effects, the Roar effect will go away natually.

Give the item the abilities Roar and whatever regeneration that Scroll of Regeneration (for over time) or Scroll of Healing (for instant) has. No triggers needed, although the item will give two buffs.

I can't believe I couldn't think of this easy solution myself, thank you.

Does not work, only the first ability in the list triggers.

It doesn't need to be triggered. Both abilities should go off when using the item.

 

[Beelzebub]

They didn't when I tested it at least, only the first one in the list.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Eh, damn.
