splash ice attack to a tower

[sofia]

I try to add same attack as the frozt wyrm...

Not even that works to add the cold plash attack!-.-

Okey its cold attack but the creeps aint getting affekted at all!

Please help this is fucking anoying! ive done that way before and it worked!

Why aint it working now for?!

 

[MortAr]

Did you changed the targets or have you changed the units' attack type?

 

[Ramza]

Give the tower a custom ability based on ''Orb of Lightning (new)''. Set ''Data - Effect Ability'' to a custom Frost Nova (1 damage, and same AoE as the tower's splash AoE).

 

[sofia]

Well i just added the frostwyrms skills...

 

[sofia]

Give the tower a custom ability based on ''Orb of Lightning (new)''. Set ''Data - Effect Ability'' to a custom Frost Nova (1 damage, and same AoE as the tower's splash AoE).

That custom frost nova... should i make that nova by my own?

Or what?

 

[Ramza]

Yeah, make a new custom ability based on ''Frost Nova (Neutral Hostile)''. And then change values to what I posted earlier.

 

[sofia]

I tryd to do it... now the tower didnt even hurt OR slowed em down...

 

[Ramza]

You must've done something wrong. It works for me.

Did you set ''Chance to cast'' to 100% (Orb of Lightning (new))?

And did you set Frost Nova damage to 1 (not 0)?



Maybe you could take screenshots of both the custom Frost Nova and the ability based on Orb of Lightning.

 

[sofia]

Where to set that chance to cast?

 

[MortAr]

Why do you always make things complicated with this ability?
Every response you make is with this ability...

Easiest way to make it is make a custom unit from the frost wyrm, then set the value "Is a Building" to true, change the model, damage, hitpoints and other values.

 

[sofia]

ok i added some screens shots

thou how do i add the pic?

 

[sofia]

Oh thanks for that ! gonna try it out!

 

[Ramza]

Because with this ability you can do almost anything you want.

Splash poison, splash frost, splash slow, chance to cast chain lightning, chance to cast shockwave, etc, etc. It's great!

And he already said Frost Breath won't work.

@sofia

''Data - Chance to cast on Units/Summons/Heroes'''. It's just above the ''Data - Effect ability''.

 

[MortAr]

Freezing Breath requires an upgrade, maybe he has forgotten to remove the requirement.. and this ability is used only against buildings, which freezes them preventing repair and unit producing.

 

[sofia]

well the tower can now move but the effekt is there but it dossent slow them down? :S

 

[sofia]

well all 3 is on 100% on the custom orb...

thous its still aint working!

 

[Ramza]

Ok, I'm going to make a test map, and upload it here. Give me a second. x)

 

[sofia]

Thanks do so i can easy copy the shit and lay it in...

trying to make ice poison multi shot bash (but without the creeps stop and attack buildings but continue walking) and bounce

 

[Ramza]

I made one based on Orb of Lightning and one based on Freezing Breath.

Freezing Breath doesn't really work. It doesn't do splash damage, and it doesn't slow (it freezes).

The one based on Orb of Lightning works, kind of. For some reason you need to manually attack units for it to work. I don't get why it does this though.

But here, try it out:

 

[sofia]

WTF?! i copied it exactly as you had it on your map... but in my fucking map it dossent wanna work?!

 

[Ramza]

What...? :I

If you open the test map, press ''Copy Ability'', then open your map, and paste, it won't work?

Make sure you give the ability to the tower you are using.

 

[sofia]

I copied it ALL then tested the map

 

[Ramza]

It might mess up when you don't copy objects in the right order. For example, if you first copy a unit, and then the ability of that unit, the unit won't recognize the copied ability.

When you copy things from another map, always do it in this order:

Buffs > Abilities > Units > Triggers.

So just to be sure, check if the copied tower still has the right ability. If that's not it, I really don't know.

 

[sofia]

tryed... dont work...

 

[Ramza]

Heh, I made a silly mistake. Give the tower ''Frost Breath'', not ''Freezing Breath''. -.-

And give the tower splash damage, of course.

 

[sofia]

so that will slow them down? can i change how mutch it will slow them down?

 

[Ramza]

Yeah, go to Advanced > Gameplay Constants > Spells - Frost Attack/Movement Speed Reduction.
