Venom bolt - spell request

[best_player_88]

I got a spell request:

spell name: Venom Bolt (chain lightning based)

The spell will do this: Creating a venom effect on one enemy unit , damaging over time by the spell level * hero agility , last for X (x = caster hero level) seconds.
this will make damage over time and turn the target unit black (using 0% 0% 0% unit color) in that time , and make it again (100% original colors) when the impact ends, there is 12 players on the map so it must work for any possible player.
can you make it?

What you said about "(chain lightning based)" is just its base spell, right ?
You doesn't want this spell to affect enemies, chain method, right ?
This spell affects a single-target only, right ?

Don't give confusing statement @.@"

True, the spell chain lighning will only show which unit was targeted.
The lightning effects one target with zero damage for animation only.
Do you need more details?

• VB Remove Unit
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from VenomedGroup

"condition unit is in unit group" is a condition check needed?
and if the unit dies, will the special effect be removed? if not , how to fix?

 

[defskull]

Lol, how can I forgot the SFX removal when die >.<"
Sorry about that, I've uploaded a new version, fixed it with flushing the data
You can test the effectiveness of the "SFX Removal" trigger by killing the Paladin (I suggest level up the Venom Bolt until 10 and then cast on it)
The hero will be instantly revived and have its SFX, gone.

About that condition, if you put a condition there, the trigger will perform at a slower rate as it needs to check whether the unit is in group or not

If we just remove the unit from the Unit Group, it works more fast
Also, if the dying unit is not in any of the Unit Group, the trigger returns a null result, that won't damage the trigger even a bit, instead, it just returns a 0 result, nothing more.

So, any unit dies, we remove it from the Unit Group (regardless of the unit is in unit group or not)

looks perfect! but if I cast the spell twise on the same unit the spx will not be removed , therefore it need somehow to see if the unit ALLREADY in a unit group and if NOT then giving it a spx , can you do this? since I don't know how.

Hope I did it right...
Thanks a lot

That is normal for hashtable as it doesn't support "stacking" method
Indexing supports "stacking" method but I'm too lazy to learn it anyway

Well, I guess you should make the cooldown of the spell is greater than the duration of the spell

Example:
Duration 10 seconds
Cooldown 12 seconds

please check my version, I think it did the trick.

 

[defskull]

Haha that will unallow the targeted unit to be targeted again, hey, that's just being rude

EDIT:
Oh, I see it only affects SFX, nothing more
Haha +rep to you!
