Creating Item based on Goblin Land Mine

Once again, me and my horrible troubles with items and abilities.

I created an item based on the GLM called "Electric Shock Trap" which supposedly stuns and deals small damage upon attacking or going near it. Problem I have is that when an enemy goes near it, it instantly explodes into nothingness. I wanted to edit that instant death to instead deal 50-100 damage + stun enemy upon spot.

All help appreciated.

Try basing the item's ability on the troll witchdoctor's stasis trap. Then, give the summoned unit a damage-on-death ability based on the one that the goblin land mine has. If all works correctly this should give you a ward that dies when enemies approach it, stunning them and dealing AoE damage.

thanks once again anitarf. Now to try it out once I get back from library....

Just got back to the WE (troublesome stuff to deal with last few days).

I still have the problem that the ward explodes and instantly kills the enemies when basing the AoE on GLMine. I dont want the "instant death" but the rest works fine.

I'm not sure what the problem is. You said you wanted it to stun and deal damage?

Yes, I wanted it to stun and deal damage. But when I copied the AoE ability of the GLM onto the EST, it just explodes when an enemy is within range of the ward.

Reduse the damage dealt, goblin land mine is not a 1-hit-KO move.

The AoE only does 10 damage, with the partial damage set to 5. Not sure what else is happening there. I checked the stuff and am pretty sure it aint supposed to kill anything.

Bump

I still havin trouble with this. Units just die in an instant the moment they touch the ward or move within range of it. I couldnt find anything that would set off the detonation or the damage it deals.

Any other type of ward I can use to auto detect enemy nearby and destroy itself and stuns enemies?

EDIT: Also, how to make it so enemies get stunned upon death of the ward? Doesnt seem to work with stasis trap.

sorry about this this might not even help but try lowering the damage and testing the map every time...

Used another AoE so now it doesnt kill instantly. Also, I still need help on getting it to freaking stun when it dies.

Just detect when a unit dies, check for that unit, and cast War Stomp.

Couldnt find any trigger to cast an ability. Maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing?

If you're using GUI:
(Unit) should be a dummy caster. It should have a dummy ability based on War Stomp. (Point) should be where the ward is. Don't forget to clean your point leak!


If you're using JASS:

call IssueImmediateOrder(unit, "stomp")

Thanks, this helps A LOT. Now I can finally begin constructing more "Traps" and Death-based abilities.

+rep to all who helped.
