Hi y´all Since I got tired of mapping I decided to make this Day, Ability Day in my Campaign Project :ggani: Ok I almost finished all of the main Hero Abilitys, but I need some help with the Last One. Phoenix Wings The Demon Blade Succession Technique The Successor of the Demon Blade Style strikes all his foes in a certain Range with the Speed of a Phoenix. Gives a xx% chance to do tripple damage on an attack. 1)I took Critical Strike as the Base Ability and this is my Problem ://// I need the Ability to be clickable. Anyone knows how I can make this Ability based on another than CS or how to make it clickable? 2) Ok, After thats finished I want my Character to be able to use it once(level 1), twice(level 2) three times (level 3) during his Metamorphosis.Now, giving him the Ability on morph is no Problem, the first Level is easy aswel, but how can I check on which Level a Skill is? Thx a lot hodi PS: My first Post here yay :D |

You can't do either without triggers. For the first one setup a trigger to detect the attack and generate a random number, and then if it's in such and such a range (20% chance for normal critical strike) to do additional damage to the target unit. For the second, you'll need to setup triggers to detect him going in and out of metamorphosis, and separate triggers to detect when the hero puts a point into the skill. When they do put a point into the skill, you increment a variable by 1, like skilllevel = skilllevel + 1. |

1. I knew hat I need triggers, I just want the xx% chance to do Tripple damage from the Object Editor and it should be clickable unlike CS. 2. How do I make this Increment I never did a Variable before |

Code:
Razor Fury Start
Events
Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Razor Fury
Actions
Set RazorFuryCaster = (Casting unit)
Set x = 0
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within RazorFuryRange of (Position of RazorFuryCaster) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of RazorFuryCaster)) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
----- Picks all enemy units in range -----
Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
((Picked unit) is A structure) Equal to False
((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to True
----- Makes sure picked unit is alive and is not a building -----
Then - Actions
Set x = (x + 1)
Set RazorFuryTargets[x] = (Picked unit)
----- Assigns each picked unit to our unit array for later use -----
Else - Actions
Do nothing
Unit - Make RazorFuryCaster Invulnerable
Unit - Pause RazorFuryCaster
Animation - Change RazorFuryCaster's vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 100.00% transparency
----- Pauses the RazorMaid, makes her invulnerable, and makes her invisible. She is NOT actually teleporting. This is only an illusion. This is done to avoid problems with mana usage and spell cooldowns that I couldn't avoid. -----
Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of RazorFuryCaster) using Abilities\Spells\NightElf\Blink\BlinkCaster.mdl
Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
----- Creates blink SFX at the RazorMaid -----
For each (Integer A) from 1 to x, do (Actions)
----- For every enemy in range, do this loop -----
Loop - Actions
Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of RazorFuryCasters[((Integer A) - 1)]) using Abilities\Spells\NightElf\Blink\BlinkCaster.mdl
Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
----- SFX at the location of the next "teleport" -----
Unit - Create 1 Razor Fury for (Owner of RazorFuryCaster) at (Position of RazorFuryTargets[(Integer A)]) facing (Position of RazorFuryTargets[(Integer A)])
----- Creates our dummy unit. It is a non-hero unit, set to look exactly like our RazorMaid. Has a unit version of Fan of Knives. -----
Set RazorFuryCasters[(Integer A)] = (Last created unit)
Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to RazorFuryCasters[(Integer A)]
----- This is redundant. The trigger will remove the dummies later. I had the remove not work a couple times, and wound up with invincible minions(NOT GOOD) so I added this line. -----
Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of RazorFuryCasters[(Integer A)]) using Abilities\Spells\NightElf\Blink\BlinkTarget.mdl
Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
----- More SFX -----
Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Warden - Fan Of Knives
----- Order dummy to cast FoK -----
Wait 0.25 game-time seconds
Unit - Remove RazorFuryCasters[(Integer A)] from the game
----- Remove dummy (no death animation) -----
Animation - Change RazorFuryCaster's vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency
Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of RazorFuryCaster) using Abilities\Spells\NightElf\Blink\BlinkTarget.mdl
Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
----- MORE SFX -----
Unit - Unpause RazorFuryCaster
Unit - Make RazorFuryCaster Vulnerable
Unit - Order RazorFuryCaster to Stop
----- Set the RazorMaid back to the way she was before casting. The order to stop was to solve another bug. She would keep trying to cast the spell over and over again(I set my cooldown/mana costs to 0 for testing). -----That's it. Fit all of it in one trigger. Once again I used Big Bad Voodoo with all values set to ZERO for a dummy spell. |

yay I could do most of the stuff I wanted. I made 4 Trigger 1 To check the Level of the Skill and then Run the certain Trigger 3 Of this Modified Razor Fury with different Dummy´s Level 1 Dummy - has Crit Strike with 50% chance todo tripple Level 2 Dummy - has Crit Strike with 75% chance todo tripple Level 3 Dummy - has Crit Strike with 99% chance todo tripple Now I just have to tell him to use it once lvl 1, twice lvl 2 and three times at lvl 3. I guess I ll figure this out. thx a lot to all, especially Zoi. Zoi you´ll have Credits in my Campaign don´t worry :ggani: hodi |

Ok there re still some "minor problems" like, my dummys killing my own units emote_sweat, my dummys stayng alive (even with the Expiration timer... maybe exp.timer doesnt like my issue order that comes after him. Oh and is there a way to let the blade master play a normal animation instead of the Slam when he makes x times dmg. cuz it looks to slow with this animation... hm maybe this is the reason why they don´t get removed... the animation takes 1.333secs after all ... oh I can see clearly now :D edit: "dummys killing own Units" fixed |
