[Spell] Stunning Chain Lightning

[Zordon]

Hello!

I would like to add two second stun to my chain lightning spell. Every striked enemy have to be stunned of course. I have tried to do it, but i failed...

Help me, please

Replace chain lighting with complitely triggered spell. Use "pick evry unit in range" trigger and dummy unit with storm hammer. Like this:

Unit is target of your spell then:
Pick random unit in xxx range around target
Create dummy unit
Wait 0.01 sec
Order dummy to cast storm hammer at picked unit
Wait 0.01 sec
Remove dummy

Do this as many times as many bounces you want.

I'm not able to do it... My abilities in map-making are extremely low. I've tried to do it with this guide http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...ls-279/how-make-chain-spell-gui-version-7015/, but i dont know how to do global variables.

 

[MajorKaza]

Press yellow X mark at top of triggers window. All variables that you set there will be global variables.

EDIT:
Or press Ctrl + .

To keep track of the exact unit that the bounce chooses so that the right unit gets stunned at the right time would mean that you have to custom trigger each lightning and also use a dummy unit with bash at the found unit. You could use a dummy unit to cast a "dummy chain lightning" ability that only hits 1 target onto the found unit so each time it moves from place to place dealing damage and then if the unit is set to a variable or used in a hashtable it will be easy enough to create a stun effect.

Failed, it won't work.


Also why not use this : http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/chain-spell-template-170081/?prev=search%3Dchain%26d%3Dlist%26r%3D20

And the test spell done with the spell template is... a storm bolt chain !


Also, you have this : http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/jeffqs-basic-chain-system-v2-00f-mui-gui-156531/

 

[MajorKaza]

Why fail? I just missed thinks that he have to choose by himself, for e.g. bounce count and picking method (moon glaive or regular).

 

[Vladadamm]

W8 is not precise. Also, your trigger won't create a chain ^^

 

[MajorKaza]

Nah. Just no lighting effect if not pined. If I remember well wait is nesesary to make order.

 

[Vladadamm]

Well, it's not necessary. Also, there is an action to kill the dummy unit after x time without w8 : Add expiration timer.
And your trigger won't make a chain which start from caster to go from the target unit and then nearbiest unit and this to a number of X units.
