+strength aura / damaging AoE spell, help

[Softy]

Hello, i need an aura that increases strength.
And i also need an AoE spell that does damage, i cannot use Thunder clap cos i already have another spell with thunder clap, and i prefer not using war stomp cos then it will stun the taget for 0.01 sec which will interrupt spells being cast..

please help and thanks in advance =)

So what if you have another spell based off Thunder Clap? Can't you just change the order string?

 

[Softy]

lol didnt know that worked =P thanks m8,

what about the str+ aura?

I'm away from the WE right now, so I wrote these by hand so they aren't 100% correct.

• Trigger 001
  • Events
    • A unit enters range within (256.00) of (unit)
  • Conditions
    • Entering unit is a hero equal to true
  • Actions
    • Add 1 strength to (hero)

• Trigger 002
  • Events
    • A unit leaves range within (256.00) of (unit)
  • Conditions
    • Leaving unit is a hero equal to true
  • Actions
    • Remove 1 strength from (hero)

Like I said... I'm away from the editor now, but maybe you can figure it out from that.

There is more to that, as "A unit comes in range of unit" is a specific unit event thus should be added by a trigger.

I think that the only spell you can successfully change the orderstring on is channel.

[EDIT] Nevermind. Thanks Spiwn.

I think that the only spell you can successfully change the orderstring on is channel.

Not that order string, the standart one (use/turn on)

As spiwn said. By the way, is there a way to do this in GUI? I don't think so. You'll need JASS.

 

[spiwn]

Why not, it is just plain harder and it is a laborious process.

 

[emperor_d3st]

Oh, you are right. I thought there is no Add Event action in GUI.

I just recently posted this to another guy here.

Make an dummy aura, let's base this one of devotion aura. Null it. Make buffs, you know the drill?
Make a unit group variable
Next, make a trigger with the even every second of game time.
Actions - Pick all units in playable map area matching matching unit has buff (attri aura) equal to true
If/then/else
If - picked unit is in (attri aura unit group)
Then - (here you add the dummy ability( i do it in a spellbook, but with some item attribute bonus skills the icon doesn't show)
Else - do nothing
Pick all units in playable map area matching condition matching unit has buff (attri aura) equal to false and unit is in (attri aura unit group) equal to true
Remove the unit ability

I cannot look up in we how to fix the level of the ability(if it's for a hero) but ii guess you could use variables when the unit learns the ability?

I've made both Magic Resistance aura and Bash Aura with this template

Assuming we want 3 levels, you need to do the following:

1) You need to make 3 different item strength bonus abilities, each with a higher bonus than the last. Use the editor suffix field to tell the abilities apart. Let's call them strbonus (1), strbonus (2), and strbonus (3). You also need a separate buff for each level of the ability. Again, use the editor suffix to tell them apart.

2) You need to make an ability array variable called BonusVar (or whatever you want to call it) The size of the array needs to be equal to the number of levels the ability has: in this case, 3.

3) Add these actions to your initialization trigger.

• Actions:
• Set BonusVar(1) = strbonus(1)
• Set BonusVar(2) = strbonus(2)
• Set BonusVar(3) = strbonus(3)

4) Then create this trigger, similar to the one terradont described above:

• Strength Aura Trigger
  • Events:
  • Time - Every .5 seconds of game time
  • Conditions:
  • Actions:
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (playable map area) and do actions:
      • If, then, else:
        • Conditions:
          • Picked unit has buff (Str buff (1))
        • Actions:
          • Unit - Add ability (BonusVar(1)) to (picked unit).
        • Else:
          • Unit - Remove ability (BonusVar(1)) from (picked unit)
      • If, then, else:
        • Conditions:
          • Picked unit has buff (Str buff (2))
        • Actions:
          • Unit - Add ability (BonusVar(2)) to (picked unit).
        • Else:
          • Unit - Remove ability (BonusVar(2)) from (picked unit)
        • If, then, else:
          • Conditions:
            • Picked unit has buff (Str buff (3))
          • Actions:
            • Unit - Add ability (BonusVar(3)) to (picked unit).
          • Else:
            • Unit - Remove ability (BonusVar(3)) from (picked unit)

 

[spiwn]

Unit Group - Pick every unit in playable map area matching (matching unit has Buff (strbonus buff)) and do actions:
Add conditions for other buffs

 

[EricDaRed]

How is that any different from what terradont and I posted?

 

[spiwn]

It is not different.
I was just completing it
But I must have gotten confused.
