Transforming to Ranged Attack

[Mr_Bean]

Hi guys,

I am making a spell for someone which involves the caster temporarily changing from melee to ranged. It lasts a certain number of attacks or a maximum of 7 seconds. I guess I want something similar to Troll Warlord from DotA, except it has a limited time, and you cannot change back to melee manually (you have to wait for the time to expire).

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks,

Mr_Bean

there is a system made by maker that allows that. you should check it out

 

[Mr_Bean]

Name of the system?

Also you can use metamorphosis or passive hero transformation system and the rest you should trigger on your own (the attack counter and all, use GDD to detect each damage made by the caster)

y do it like defskull says, avoid triggers if you dont need them

 

[defskull]

He must trigger it since it has 2 condition to change back to normal form, either duration or number of attacks

How else does he want to calculate the attack counter if it's not from trigger ?
Use trigger.

you dont need any triggers or any dificulty metod...use druid transform from druid of the talon night elf...

 

[defskull]

you dont need any triggers...

As I said, it needs triggering because the transformation will ended on 2 conditions;
- 7 seconds duration OR
- Certain number of attacks

Since there is no default field option in Object Editor that limits any transformation-based spell such as Bear Form or Metamorphosis, we have to use trigger to calculate each attack done by the unit and once it reached a certain numbers of attack, it will revert back.

This can be done by using Integer variable to keep track the number of attack made by that unit, of course we must use Damage Detection System.

How can I remove metamorphesis from a hero after x attacks?

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Maybe counter the attacks via integer variable as defskull said, then force the hero to cast the spell via order.

The problem I have is this: I based the ability of Robo-Goblin Form, but there is a problem because to be able to deactivate it you need the spell to have finished cooling down. However, I want the spell to have a 10 second cooldown and be able to order the hero to cancel it after it has attacked x times.

Anyone know of a transformation ability that I can give a cooldown but can be deactivated at any time? I really need this to work!
