"Totems"... Help me out with this!!

[ExpansionRod]

I'm trying to make a hero that "places" totems (like in WoW, the Shaman). It's basically to drop a stationary unit (like a ward) that dies out after a time.. How can I make:
a) Earthbind Totem : A ward that slows enemy movement by
25, 35, 45, and 60% in an AoE of X (levels are respecteviely) for 5,10,15,20 seconds.

b) Magma Totem : A ward that damages enemies in an AoE of X for 20, 30, 40 50 dmg (respecteviley) for 5, 10, 15, 20 seconds.

c) Stoneskin Totem : A ward that raises friendly armor by 1, 3 , 5, 7, respectevily for 5, 10, 15, 20 seconds.

HELP Thanks

make a ablitiy with your needed effect with 5 lvls and 0 manacost and add it to the default active list on your ward

 

[deathbedeli2]

IN ENGLISH

Magma Totem : Make 5 diffrent abliitys labeled Magma lvl 1 , lvl 2 (etc) and increase the damage and time for each of them, and make it have a Zero mana cost
then make 5 diffrent wards and place your magma lvl 1 spell on the default active ablitiy
list and make sure its in your normal spell list

If you need any more help, just ask

Now you could go down that road, or you could do some minor triggering to it, make one spell, one ward. the spell should have multiple levels, when you cast the appropriate spell it creates a totem and gives it the spell then sets the spell level to level of ability being cast. to remove the unit created by the spell being cast on the hero just make a uit set it as the summoned unit then delete it and go to summoned units, open it and click okay. this will make the spell do effectively nothing so the minor triggers can do their work

Totems are wards in warcraft 3. You will need like the guys already mentioned a spell for each level of the totem.

Earthbind Totem: Give the unit Unholy Aura with no regeneration rate affect and negative movement speed. Make it affect enemy units.

Magma Totem: Give the unit permanent immolation with the AoE and damage you want.

Stoneskin Totem: Give the unit devotion aura with the AoE and bonus armor you want.

By unit I mean the ward. Good luck!

Or for Earthbind you could also use the Slow Aura that already exists for the tornado. Dang but I hate all those little wards you much make, go they annoy me

 

[Taur]

actually daelin for the stoneskin totem, he wants it to lasts for a limitied amount of time, so it's best to use a inner fire ability, wth no attack speed bonus and no mana cost

 

[Daelin]

Then simply give the ward a Howl of Terror ability with no cooldown and no mana cost and the stats you want. Then every second you can order that ward to cast the ability. Howl of Terror is Inner Fire but AoE. That't the beauty of Howl of Terror.

U dont have to make 5 different spells, u can set unit abilities to lvl 5 too. then use the trigger:
Unit - Set level of (Earthbindeffect) for (Earthbindtotem) to level of (Earthbind totem) for (Shaman/casting unit)

remember to use variables for this =P

 

[MapperForLife]

Make each Totem have 2 Levels, Copy the Abilitie "Healing Wards change it from Item to hero, then Change the name and the description and change the image of the model and icon and ur done.

Thread Necromancy

terradont, you have just revived a thread from 03-20-2005 !!! That might be a record.

Become familiar with Netiquette.

One is advised not to resurrect a very old topic if nothing significant will be added. This practice is known as revival or Necroing.

 

[CoolSoFar]

A little think, what about this:

a unit cast an ability

casted ability equal to myability

set totem=last created unit
wait (skill levels * 5) seconds
remove ability from totem

Maybe work or not work, better than just shut up

lol........
whats with reviving all these old threads?
