Triggering Different Levels of Ability?

[XxJizzxX]

I need to make a spell that when activated grants +5str and +5 agility x the level of ability. Ex: Lvl 1: Grants 5str and 5agi when activated. Lvl 5: Grants 25str ang 25agi when activated. How can i do this? rep to whoever helps me!!!

 

[cboy123]

Is there any deactivation to the spell?

 

[XxJizzxX]

No it will just end after 30 seconds after activation

Here are the codes.

• Add Stats
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Add Stats
  • Actions
    • Hero - Modify Strength of (Triggering unit): Add (5 x (Level of Add Stats for (Triggering unit)))
    • Hero - Modify Agility of (Triggering unit): Add (5 x (Level of Add Stats for (Triggering unit)))
    • Hero - Modify Intelligence of (Triggering unit): Add (5 x (Level of Add Stats for (Triggering unit)))
    • Wait 30.00 seconds
    • Hero - Modify Strength of (Triggering unit): Subtract (5 x (Level of Add Stats for (Triggering unit)))
    • Hero - Modify Agility of (Triggering unit): Subtract (5 x (Level of Add Stats for (Triggering unit)))
    • Hero - Modify Intelligence of (Triggering unit): Subtract (5 x (Level of Add Stats for (Triggering unit)))

This is where the

• Wait 30.00 seconds

Makes the Trigger MUI

Tyvm! +rep how do you do those boxes anyway?

 

[cboy123]

In the forum???
Just use [ TRIGGER] Text [/TRIGGER]

Be aware it will wait longer than 30 seconds in multiplayer due to latency.

Yah. I hate about Internet Connection

 

[XxJizzxX]

Oh well thats fine, one more question... how do you make a spell do damage based on your one of your stats?

Here are the codes.

Trigger

    • Hero - Modify Intelligence of (Triggering unit): Add (5 x (Level of Add Stats for (Triggering unit)))
    • Wait 30.00 seconds

    • Hero - Modify Agility of (Triggering unit): Subtract (5 x (Level of Add Stats for (Triggering unit)))

Cast the ability at level 1, then level it twice during that 30 second period. Then UR FUXED RLY BAD!

You could store the level, use local variable, shadow a global. Like

Custom script: local integer udg_level = 5 x Level of..for trig unit
Set stats
Wait
Modify attributes of hero: subtract level

Make sure you have "level" variable created in variable editor

 

[Dr Super Good]

Why do people never seem to find the integer native that returns the quantity of one of the 3 stats a hero has...

Apply some simple mathematics to it (like a multiplyer and offset) and then just deal the damage to a unit. The unit usually is the spell target in response to starts and effect of an ability or the units from enemy units picked in an area of spell target position.

I'm confused DSG but is this on topic?

Maker makes a good point. Using the current trigger if ability is increased in level during the wait time you'll end up receiving negative attibutes. Using a integer variable to set the amount modified removes the bug.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Attribute Boost
  • Actions
    • Set CurrentLevel = ((Level of Attribute Boost for (Triggering unit)) x 5)
    • Hero - Modify Strength of (Triggering unit): Add CurrentLevel
    • Hero - Modify Agility of (Triggering unit): Add CurrentLevel
    • Wait 30.00 game-time seconds
    • Hero - Modify Strength of (Triggering unit): Subtract CurrentLevel
    • Hero - Modify Agility of (Triggering unit): Subtract CurrentLevel

CurrentLevel would be a integer variable.
Attibute Boost would be your ability

This will also reduce the amount of onscreen curse words floating across your screen in multiplayer games

 

[baassee]

And now the spell is no more MUI as the variable can be easily overwritten.

 

[XxJizzxX]

Great, ty ironman and all the othersd +rep for everyone!
But how do you do the "((Level of Attribute Boost for (Triggering unit)) x 5)" part? i can't find out how to add the x5

 

[ironman47]

That's because it's under unit and not hero (for level of an ability)

For the x5 part you have to do arithmetic

 

[Maker]

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Attribute Boost
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local integer udg_CurrentLevel = GetUnitAbilityLevel( GetTriggerUnit() , 'AHhb' ) * 5
    • Hero - Modify Strength of (Triggering unit): Add CurrentLevel
    • Hero - Modify Agility of (Triggering unit): Add CurrentLevel
    • Wait 30.00 game-time seconds
    • Hero - Modify Strength of (Triggering unit): Subtract CurrentLevel
    • Hero - Modify Agility of (Triggering unit): Subtract CurrentLevel

I fixed the trigger in quotes. It should work correctly now and it's MUI. Just replace the AHhb with the raw code of your ability. To see the raw code, browse the ability and hit Ctrl + d.

 

[baassee]

Or Maker you change that into GetSpellAbilityId(). For the simpleness, that call is worth it.

Use "Arithmetic" function.

 

[Bribe]

I thought shadowing udg_ variables is no longer possible in WC3?

 

[Maker]

It works, although it may be bad practise to do so.

 

[baassee]

Shadowing doesn't crash mine :O
