[Trigger] Unit hit by Ability?

[snebulan]

I have some problems with a spell i'm working on which does that those that are hit of it gets decreased movement speed by 50% and armor reduced (spell is based on Shockwave, so do not say "Just use Thunder Clap")

I've tried several times but i can't seem to get it to work, please if you could help me i would be grateful ^^

• Wave of Loss
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
      • Then - Actions
      • Else - Actions

I cant figure it out from there xD
Is this even possible?

You cant get event "Unit is hit by shockwave", so you have to make a triggered shockwave and use it to deal damage, then there you can get the event. Its from my old map, so there are some unnecessary stuff.

On second trigger "picks unit" you can use set speed of picked unit or add buff for it.

There is another way of doing this if you haven't solved the problem yet, you could just use breath of fire ability and change the stats to match shockwave and use a custom buff inside of that ability to be checked for by a trigger, so if unit x has buff (custom buff) then carry out your actions for said unit. This will probably involve a periodic check for the custom buff which you could turn on and off to prevent the possibility of small leaks building up.

bof is cone

 

[Darkness-4ever]

bof art is cone, change it to shockwave and set final aoe and regular aoe equal to each other.

 

[Zack1996]

BoF is not the best idea. It acts weirdly and it does not make the ground sink.
Also, since its not possible to check the level of the buff for BoF without JASS, you will need JASS to get the level of the ability. It should be rather easy to get the level of the ability, use a custom script something like this:
set udg_Variable = GetUnitAbilityLevel(GetEnumUnit(), 'buffcode')
Just change the buffcode to the buffcode of the buff, change view to view Raw Data.

 

[Super-Sheep]

And bof doesnt add dot buff, unless the target is affected by Drunken Haze.

 

[Zack1996]

Gah. Just look at my spellpack and rip Entangling Magic form KotG. You can just change the spell the dummy cast and you're done.
PS: Since its troublesome to trigger the damage for shockwave (hit each unit once), I suggest simply using your current Shockwave skill and change the entangling magic spell to trigger on it. Then Shockwave will do the damage part and the buff thingy will be done by triggers.

Or u can just use my recently submitted Effectline system (needs JNGP /check submissions thread for it) and go for a line with a shockwave look a like and then trigger whatever you want on the units on he line

 

[Super-Sheep]

Your thing adds effects as a line, creating multiple effects. Shockwave is 1 moving effect.

 

[Saia_Djinn]

Yeah and if u use i right it can look like a shockwave just experiment with the attributes
