[Trigger] Soul-absorb effect

[dansaDisco]

Hmm, I'm going to try to explain this easily.

Basics of the trigger I need would be this:

a unit dies
dying unit has my buff = true

then the tricky part comes.
I need to get the hero that applied the buff in the first place and increase a skill level to +1.
Then, after 5 seconds, the recently added skill level should be removed.

I have been troubling with this shit for a while, yet I really can't understand how to get the unit I want without using custom values..

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Is that a damage overtime spell which applies that buff or does it kill instantly?

 

[dansaDisco]

The spell is based on shadow strike, but deals nothing more than initial damage and slow the target.

So basically, Anybody should be able to kill the buffed unit and yet the original caster should get his "soul".

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Ok. You should make 2 unit arrays and place caster in first, target in second one (same index). Then, when unit dies, if he is in some array field make corresponding caster "capture his soul".

 

[dansaDisco]

Uh..
Could you explain that a bit.. less lacking?

No offense but that didn't actually tell me anything

 

[Zack1996]

Impossible. Dead units have no buffs. I apologise for bursting your bubble

 

[Restor]

well, I just dont understand that part with giving +1lvl to hero for few seconds.

You mean only giving him one more level, without skill point? or skill point without lvl up?

everything else is easy, but i just dont get this idea of "getting his soul"

 

[dansaDisco]

I mean increasing the level of a skill for 5 seconds.

 

[Restor]

well, I think as some guy mentioned, that dying unit has no buff, but thats no problem.

I almost have it MUI, just few minutes

 

[dansaDisco]

Alright, thanks a lot!

 

[Restor]

I think it works now, but as it work now, every hero who cast the spell on the unit, will get the bonus to ability if the unit dies within few sec, (thats illogical, but you can fix it somehow)

now it is set that "buff" will take 5 sec, and bonus to ability will take 5 sec also

I hope it helps

 

[dansaDisco]

works just as i wanted it to do

Although, I should use a recycler, right?

Like, if array_index is 8192, set it to 1 again?

 

[Restor]

I guess so

 

[dansaDisco]

Very well. Big thanks for your contribution. The spell will be used in D3W so you can expect some credits there as well.

+Rep for your efforts though.


-SOLVED-

 

[Restor]

I just think, that recyclator must be set to 0 when it will be 8191, couse I used

...
Set Caster(array_index+1)=Casting unit
....
Set Array_index=Array_index+1


if it would be
Set Array_index=Array_index+1
Set Caster(array_index)=Casting unit
....

then it can be 8192, but thats just detail
