I tihnk i've found that, if a hero with an Orb of lightning (New) has the % chance to cast a spell, as 100%, will not fire the orb effect if the hero isnt ordered to attack... Ive tested it with an orb of lightning that fires shockwaves. How can i make it so that even if the hero isnt ordered to attack, the shockwave will fire? Or is it just my WE ? - ThonGod Attachment 33557 |

Orbs only work properly on items, as far as I know. |

It is on an item...? Its a modified Orb of Lightning (new) Instead of purge its a shockwave.. - ThonGod |

good old bug from blizzard long ago, we all hate it... perfect solution is use triggered orbs... anyway you could trigger the unit to do force attack whenever "a unit is attacked" is issued... |

Heya ThonGod. I used Orb of Slow as the base ability for my custom orbs and I did not have that problem. I am familiar with it and have done lots of testing to make sure I don't have it, and I don't. For my orbs at least, the abilities work even without attacking a specific unit. Maybe that will help you. |

Isn't shockwave normally a point targeting spell? I might be wrong, though. |

Orbs only work on ordered attacks because blizzard is stupid. I think the story was that they were too powerful, so they changed orbs so they only work when ordered to balance them. You are going to have to trigger it by using an AttackDetect engine. |

Yes, that is right. You need to have it be a passive ability to work, I believe. And ThonGod, despite what Dil and zen said, I have found differently for Orb of Slow. Try basing it off that. |
