Torch Consumable

[Hazop]

I'm trying to make a torch consumable that comes in several charges and when used increases sight range and DMG for a short time.
However I cant seem to get it to work, when my hero picks up the torch items he immediately gets the buffs without even using a charge and when he stands he plays his spell animation.

Any help?

Did you make sure that the stat "Use automatically when acquired" is set to False?
I do not know if you did that since I can't open the map (probably because I have patch 1.29)

Yes I have it set to false.

(Side note) Why do you still have 1.29? The glitch where your map can be corrupted was already patched out.

Yes I have it set to false.

Well, I have no idea why it won't work then : /

Well, your problem is pretty simple. You're using War Drums and Item Sight Range Bonus (both passive abilities) and expecting them to function like active abilities. You can't add Area of Effect, Duration, Cooldown, etc... to an ability in the Object Editor that doesn't normally use these fields. If an ability by default uses these fields (like how Thunderclap uses Area of Effect) then you can edit them, otherwise modifying these fields won't add new mechanics to the ability. So for example, you can't add Area of Effect to Shadow Strike since it's hardcoded to be a Single-Target ability. Luckily, with triggers we can create these desired effects fairly easily.

Edit: I edited your map and added a triggered Torch ability. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

You can't add Area of Effect, Duration, Cooldown, etc... to an ability in the Object Editor and expect it's mechanics to change. If an ability uses these fields then you can edit them, otherwise it won't add new mechanics to the ability. So If you want these abilities to work as a temporary buff that lasts 5 seconds then you'll have to use triggers.

To change the duration I just change the 5's to 10 (for ex) correct?

Yes, and the item's cooldown is linked to the Torch Active Abilities cooldown which I set to 10.

Yes, and the item's cooldown is linked to the Torch Active Abilitie's cooldown which I set to 10.

Thanks again!
