Unholy Frenzy

Is there any way to make a spell like unholy frenzy only target yourself? I want some sort of spell that does something like "Increases said hero's attack speed by 100% for 15 seconds". Though it may have been addressed before, (I didnt find it) I want to know if you can get spells to do something to this tune. I tried changing targets and range around but it just gets moody and grays out the spell so it won't cast. Any simple ideas?

Hmm I know its possible, I saw it in Between Worlds, I am fairly certain taht they did just change the targets, as you still get the pointer to pick your target but no one is acceptable target except yourself... However I cant be certain because to find a spell in their slk is near impossible, without sifting through many many codes... (they have deleted names of all spells )

spell editing.... use redskulls editor, im making a topic with a link to it any minut now

Ja, I use his editor, but when I mess with unholy frenzy (and sometimes bloodlust) I keep getting the darkened faded out version of the icon, so that I can't use it. After messing with it some, for some reason the spell wouldn't work unless it had the same icon as its original counterpart (both spells did). When I actually did get it working, I changed the new Unholy Frenzy's targets, but it had the same targets as the original. Maybe I just messed around with it too much, but like most of my problems, there's a brain dead easy way to do this that I'm missing.

edit the target field and set self as target.
This should work.
Your "disabled" issue come from the fact the spell isn't researched, either set CheckDep field to 0 or use the creeps unholy frenzy ability ;)

Eh, I got rid of the requires=x and unclicked the check req. button. I even removed that from the original spell and it broke. Are there any maps out there that does something similar, with attack speed and such. (Avatar or roar with ~0 rng can work for damage, scroll of pro. for armor, speed potion for..speed, but no atk speed increase :'( )

i have what you are talking about working in my map and it works. i suggest looking at the slk file, make sure the checkdep field is set to 0 and that all the other stuff is right for having a hero use the spell.

also, take a look at the func file and make sure the button your using isnt disabled.

if you still can't get it to work maybe you should post the info your using for the spell, because it is possible.


good luck.

Try this. I have a unit that is using this kind of ability or it is... wait... I've based it on slow or someting like this... I will have a look later

Another thing you can do is go into the player upgrade properties and set Unholy Frenzy to already researched....

Got it!!!!
I've based it on Cripple (Acri) which with negative value increase movement speed, attack speed and even damage ;)
Try it!

Ah, nm, got it to work after just killing all my customs and making it..work somehow. Everything was the same, so I'll just assume I did something stupid.

You can make cripple negative? I tried it once and it just didn't like negative cripple values. Welp, I'll try it again. It's too bad when you target self the game would just realize there's only one target and cast it for you or something.

Thanks again
