Last Hope
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
- Conditions
  - (Ability being cast) Equal to Last Hope
- Actions
  - Hero - Modify Agility of (Triggering unit): Add 25
  - Wait 10.00 game-time seconds
  - Hero - Modify Agility of (Triggering unit): Subtract 25
  - Wait 20.00 game-time seconds

this is the trigger i know that it is really simple but i need a way to loop this

Actions
- Hero - Modify Agility of (Triggering unit): Add 25
- Wait 10.00 game-time seconds
- Hero - Modify Agility of (Triggering unit): Subtract 25
- Wait 20.00 game-time seconds

so that after the last wait 20sec it starts back at the top over and over again.

Try this...

Actions
- Hero - Modify Agility of (Triggering unit): Add 25
- Wait 10.00 game-time seconds
- Hero - Modify Agility of (Triggering unit): Subtract 25
- Wait 20.00 game-time seconds
- Trigger - Run This Trigger

k that work but is there a way to make it where there are 3 levels cuz right now at level 1 it is 25 agi and level 3 it is 25 but i want it to be 75agi on level 3

mckill2009 · Sep 24, 2010

Then do like this...

Conditions
- (Ability being cast) Equal to Last Hope
- Integer - Level of casting unit less than (???LEVEL???)

Then when you RUN (Check conditions)...anyway I will give a sample map when i got home from office..

This ability is a bit weird, WHY?
When you cast the ability, you have no trigger that tells the trigger to stop it after a period of time, causing this spell to be looped infinitely ???
You should add this:

Trigger - Turn Off This Trigger

Well, I don't know if THAT'S exactly what you want the spell to be, an infinite of time +/- of a stat from beginning of the spell, till the end of the game

Also, I think that you should use a Periodic Event ???
It'd be more neat, I think

Yeah you're right, it's kinda weird to last forever, but that's what he wants...

anyway here's a sample map for what he wants...

@utha

Just edit the Spell & time. I just removed the "Trigger - run this trigger"...

this wil work when the spell is level 1,2,3...

utha · Sep 24, 2010

k that works great thanks

but is there a way to make it so that it is a passive instead of when you cast a spell?

if there isn't i can understand since i have never seen anything like it

Then you must do like this...notice that i changed many things...Change the ability to BASH (passive) which has 'stunned' buff, so every time the unit is stunned, then it will modify the hero's agility...

Bash
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Is attacked
- Conditions
  - ((Attacked unit) has buff Stunned (Pause)) Equal to True
- Actions
  - Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Level of Bash for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 1
    - Then - Actions
      - Hero - Modify Agility of (Attacking unit): Add 25
      - Wait 5.00 seconds
      - Hero - Modify Agility of (Attacking unit): Subtract 25
      - Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)
    - Else - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Level of Bash for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 2
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Hero - Modify Agility of (Attacking unit): Add 50
        
        Wait 5.00 seconds
        
        Hero - Modify Agility of (Attacking unit): Subtract 50
        
        Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)
        
        Else - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Level of Bash for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 3
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Hero - Modify Agility of (Attacking unit): Add 75
        
        Wait 5.00 seconds
        
        Hero - Modify Agility of (Attacking unit): Subtract 75
        
        Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)
        
        Else - Actions

EDIT:

BTW, for the BANISH ability, just do like this...it's simplier...no need for "turn off/turn on trigger" thing...

Last Hope Lev1
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
- Conditions
  - (Ability being cast) Equal to Banish
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Level of Banish for (Casting unit)) Equal to 1
    - Then - Actions
      - Hero - Modify Agility of (Casting unit): Add 25
      - Wait 5.00 seconds
      - Hero - Modify Agility of (Casting unit): Subtract 25
    - Else - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Level of Banish for (Casting unit)) Equal to 2
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Hero - Modify Agility of (Casting unit): Add 50
        
        Wait 5.00 seconds
        
        Hero - Modify Agility of (Casting unit): Subtract 50
        
        Else - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Level of Banish for (Casting unit)) Equal to 3
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Hero - Modify Agility of (Casting unit): Add 75
        
        Wait 5.00 seconds
        
        Hero - Modify Agility of (Casting unit): Subtract 75
        
        Else - Actions

k so instead of it just always doing it it only does it if bash activates?

phoenixfire · Sep 25, 2010

You said you wanted it passive... that means its like an aura. You cant activate it.

utha · Sep 25, 2010

yea i know just making sure

millzy · Sep 25, 2010

wouldent it be easyer for it to be passive would be to use the event

Unit - A unit Learns a skill

and turn on your looping trigger?

and make the unit learns a skill trigger to add the levels?

utha · Sep 25, 2010

ok next thing that came to mind as i was trying to do this with my spell will it only work with bash or will it also work with critical strike?

like for critical strike would i just have to create a buff for the base spell so that the trigger can read the buff

and i can't find

(Level of Bash for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 1

phoenixfire · Sep 25, 2010

What does Critical Strike have to do with this?

utha · Sep 25, 2010

for the passive spell i am making i want it to add the agility when it crits

phoenixfire · Sep 25, 2010

So let me get this straight.

You want the passive spell to add +25 agility for a period of time every time you deal critical damage?

mckill2009 · Sep 25, 2010

utha said:

Yes, coz thats what you want right?, an 'event' should do that trigger...

you said...

Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

if not, so what exactly you want? coz i've already give you two options on how the triggers work...

utha · Sep 25, 2010

k i want the one that you showed me with bash but instead of it using bash have it use Critical strike.

Like Nuuh said, "You want the passive spell to add +25 agility for a period of time every time you deal critical damage"

mckill2009 · Sep 25, 2010

(Level of Bash for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 1

It's in the integer section of the Condition, just change it to Critical Strike, also change the "((Attacked unit) has buff Stunned (Pause)) Equal to True" to the buff/effect of the Critical strike...

Sorry I dont have the WE now so i cannot explain very well...

-Kobas- · Sep 25, 2010

Just small suggestion!
Remove large number of trigger actions with simple formulas

Example, instead of:

mckill2009 said:
............................

............................

If - Conditions

(Level of Banish for (Casting unit)) Equal to 1

Then - Actions

Hero - Modify Agility of (Casting unit): Add 25

Wait 5.00 seconds

Hero - Modify Agility of (Casting unit): Subtract 25

Else - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

(Level of Banish for (Casting unit)) Equal to 2

Then - Actions

Hero - Modify Agility of (Casting unit): Add 50

Wait 5.00 seconds

Hero - Modify Agility of (Casting unit): Subtract 50

............................

Use

Hero - Modify Agility of (Triggering unit): Add (25 x (Level of Banish for (Triggering unit)))

utha · Sep 25, 2010

critical strike doesn't have a buff or effect

mckill2009 · Sep 25, 2010

utha said:

Like i said before "Sorry I dont have the WE now so i cannot explain very well..."

if no buff/effect, then make a triggered Critical strike...

EDIT; This is better

Triggered Critical Strike
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Is attacked
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Set Integer = (Random integer number between 1 and 3)
  - Set CritStike = ((Agility of (Attacking unit) (Include bonuses)) x 2)
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Level of Critical Strike for (Attacking unit)) Equal to 1
      - Integer Equal to 2
    - Then - Actions
      - Unit - Cause (Attacking unit) to damage (Attacked unit), dealing (Real(CritStike)) damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal
      - Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String(CritStike)) above (Attacked unit) with Z offset 40.00, using font size 12.00, color (100.00%, 20.00%, 20.00%), and 0.00% transparency
      - Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
      - Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
      - Hero - Modify Agility of (Attacking unit): Add 25
      - Wait 5.00 seconds
      - Hero - Modify Agility of (Attacking unit): Subtract 25
    - Else - Actions

Ironside · Sep 25, 2010

Set CritStike = (((Strength of (Attacking unit) (Include bonuses)) + (Agility of (Attacking unit) (Include bonuses))) x 2)

That doesn't return the attack of the Attacker...

sure it doesnt, that's why I put this...

Unit - Cause (Attacking unit) to damage (Attacked unit), dealing (Real(CritStike)) damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal

Ironside · Sep 25, 2010

Which still doesn't do 2x the damage as a real critical strike.

its just a sample my friend, a formula, also it's called trigger enhancing spell, what a spell cannot do in object editor then make it triggered spell!

anyway you can always adjust the values
