Trigger help(spell)

[utha]

• 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.

 

[mckill2009]

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

 

[utha]

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]

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..

 

[defskull]

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]

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

 

[utha]

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

 

[phoenixfire]

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

 

[utha]

yea i know just making sure

 

[millzy]

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]

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]

What does Critical Strike have to do with this?

 

[utha]

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

 

[phoenixfire]

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]

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

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]

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]

• (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-]

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

Example, instead of:

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

• ............................
  • 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]

also change the "((Attacked unit) has buff Stunned (Pause)) Equal to True" to the buff/effect of the Critical strike...

critical strike doesn't have a buff or effect

 

[mckill2009]

critical strike doesn't have a buff or effect

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]

• 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...

 

[mckill2009]

• 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]

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

 

[mckill2009]

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
