Trigger- changing unit projectile after unit gets item

[4daHorde]

I'm working on a map where theres different guns lying around and when a unit picks up the gun, it is attached. However, the guns have different properties so I want to make a trigger to make it so that when a unit picks up the weapon, their attack strength, attack rate, projectile art, projectile speed, and projectile homing are changed. I also need a trigger that makes it so that when a unit picks up a weapon, their previous weapon is removed. Please tell me how to make these triggers, thanks.

For the attack changes you just need the Item Attack Fire Bonus spell and edit it so that it fits your needs.

For the weapon limit I know one way but it will be messy. You will have to make on If, Then, Else action for each weapon type you have. And set the Item class of all weapons to the same. Let's say they all are Artifact. Youi pick up a Shotgun and you already have a Gun. Then make a trigger like this:

Events:
- Unit aquires an item
Conditions:
Actions:
IF: - AND
-- Hero Manipulating Item has an item of type Gun
-- Item class of Item Being Manipulated equal to Artifact (Boolean Comparison, click the first blue text and look up the Item functions in the list)
Then - Item remove item carried by Hero Manipulating Item of type Gun
Else -

Use an Orb affect, and modify the Orb ability.

I think the only way to change the projectile speed and homing is to replace a hero type by another when he picks up another weapon (remove hero->create hero at removing point). Using variables you can store inventory and exp before and reload it again after.
For attack rate and strenght, as Just Spectating said you can use an orb with your gun attachment, and modify agi/str and bonus damage. But you can also set those properties with your different hero types.

No... do like Just_Spectating, it will work.

too complicated voidsmith. it works without triggers. use metamorphosis

 

[voidsmith]

you mean you can change projectile speed and homing using an orb? I don't think so. Why don't you read before answering?

 

[Elven_God]

Yes you can just check in the ability of fire orb, don't think i don't read before answering (i have got the same problem some time ago).

 

[voidsmith]

nah the orb can't change anything but projectile model, attack speed and damage and bonus stat... not projectile speed.

 

[Thrikodius]

For the attack changes you just need the Item Attack Fire Bonus spell and edit it so that it fits your needs.

That is an orb ability...
For the attack speed increase you just need the Item Attack Speed Bonus ability. Strength increase can be given with the Item Hero Stats Bonus ability.
And homing can be changed in the orb abilities. The only off these things that can't be changed with abilities is missile speed.

Why with the french version i can do it?

 

[Thrikodius]

I can set a different projectile speed in the orb abilities to but it doesn't change anything in game.
