[ Spell ] Diablo 2 Bone Armor

[akasixcon]

I need someone at least show me how I would make this spell.


Simulation

• A user uses "Bone Armor"
• A bunch of bone skulls (4 preferably) circle around on a necromancer
• Necromancer is given a physical damage absorbing shield
• The absorbing shield is similar to Anti-Magic Shell
• The shield basically has life and renders the necromancer invulnerable
• When the shield dies, the necromancer is vulnerable
• When the hero uses the spell again, it resets the shield's life
• It doesn't create another shield

Example Skill Tree:

Bone Armor
Level1
Mana Cost: 20
Effect: Summons a 40-life bone wall. Rendering the caster invulnerable while alive.

Level2
Mana Cost: 30
Effect: Summons a 60-life bone wall. Rendering the caster invulnerable while alive.

Level3
Mana Cost: 40
Effect: Summons a 80-life bone wall. Rendering the caster invulnerable while alive.

My SPecific Questions

• How to make a anti-magic shell-like ability for hp absorbing?
• How to make 5 units adjacent to each other (with about just 4px spacing) hovering in a circle around the caster?

are you makeing a diablo game? btw you dont have to have every skill... you can replace some, with differnt warcraft 3 ones...

make a new spell based on anti-magic shell
change Data - Shield Life to what value you want (40, 60 or 80)
change duration Hero and duration Normal to 3600
then make 2 little triggers:

• Trigger 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Your Spell
  • Actions
    • Unit - Make (Target unit of ability being cast) Invulnerable

• Trigger 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacked unit) has buff Your Buff) Equal to False
  • Actions
    • Unit - Make (Triggering unit) Vulnerable

when the unit is invinceible units cannot target it? am i correct?

Indeed. You'll have to heal the unit for any damage it takes instead of making it invulnerable (which is also used on many 'invincible' DotA spells.

Just have a trigger check whether the bone wall is alive every time the caster is attacked. If it is, heal them for the damage taken, if not, do nothing.
