[Trigger] Warlock voidwalker summon, please help!

[shamanyouranus]

I am trying to make a spell that summons a voidwalker and consumes a soul shard (item) from your inventory. It would reduce the charges of the soul shard in your inventory by one. I want to make it so if you don not have any soul shards in your inventory it will stop you from casting that spell and tell you that you need a soul shard for that. The problem is, I can't figure out which triggers i need to make the game check if the hero has the item in his inventory or not. Could anyone help please

Do this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to YOUR SPELL
• Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • ((Casting unit) has an item of type Soul Shard) Equal to True
    • Then - Actions
      • .........................
    • Else - Actions
      • Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Casting unit)))) the text: You need a soul shard to use this!
      • Unit - Order (Casting unit) to Stop

The condition

• ((Casting unit) has an item of type Soul Shard) Equal to True

is under "boolean comparison".

Its not over yet, If you set the charges remaining to 0 then you can keep casting the spell with no effect on the item.

Ok guys, thanks so much for the help. I have another question. How do I put in custom numberss into the sections in the object?
-example:
|Health Regeneration: -50|
Some people said that you hold shift or something when you press it, but that doesn't seem to work. I have a mac, so would it be something different than on a pc?

Please explain more in detail, custom numbers into the sections in the object? I don't get you.

My trigger works perfectly as far as I can see. Your trigger is more complicated... Might be confusing to some.. I prefer to keep it simple yet effective. It has leaks too...

Hmm... Negative numbers? Hold shift and double click on a field. Then enter -50 as value.

Use Unholy Aura ability and change life regeneration into -50.

To use negative numbers, just simply hold shift and double click a field.

 

[graystuff111]

Our triggers are pretty much the same. I just wanted to say that if you set an items charges to 0 than it wont dissipear, it just looks like a item that doesnt use charges.

How to put?
To choose only 1 Hero per 2 teams(like in DotA)?
Please P.M me and i will +rep you.

Removes the hassle of holding the Shift button everytime you want to insert a negative value in a field.

Shift is always better. It is already discussed on previous topics that holding shift is better.

If you know what you're doing, you won't need to worry about checking the box.

I know you're concerned about making the game crash if you insert negative values in the wrong field, but really, you won't have to worry if you know what you're doing.

Still makes it less hassle every time you need to insert a negative value.

By the way, I tried the method you suggested, and I still can't set the Defense Increase value in the Battle Roar ability to a negative value...

[shamanyouranus]

Uh, okay. Thanks. Yeah, i just checked the box. Holding shift doesn't seem to work for my computer. Hey, by any chance do you guys know how to make a unit "freeze" ? What i mean is, well in Dota they had a spell called 'Chronosphere' which froze all units in an area, they're stunned and stand completely still in the position they were in, no animations. I've seem this in other things such as a few campaign missions on Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne. Does anyone know how to do this?

 

[Squiggy]

Change unit's animation speed to 0%?

    • Wait <Your Time Here> seconds
    • Unit - Unpause Target_Unit
    • Animation - Change Target_Unit's animation speed to 100.00% of its original speed

You get the idea; this can be expanded to include something like "pick every units" functions. This isn't MUI though.

Also create another trigger that checks entering units inside the cronoshpere and pause them.

Uh oh. Don't promise something that you cannot do oo... Still got the pic? You can edit it with Photoshop for the sake of the thread lolz...

By the way shamanyouranus, I would not advise you to trigger it in GUI because it can invite many problems like bugs, not being MUI and not working and so... Try making it in JASS if possible.

[h3k241]

Well whatever.... We should go back to the topic now instead of doing and talking about those stupid things that are discussed already and proved.
