Auras into Spells

01-27-2004, 04:54 PM

Is there a way to make auras ( endurance aura in my case ) into a castable spell which effects units around the caster? ( like roar ) I couldnt do it with the TFT ability editor, so I tried using triggers. I can get it to add a passive ability to units within the area ability is cast, which increases the units attack speed but that is dumb since i dont want it to mess with other units abilities. I also think i need a trigger which would make this happen to allied units of the player casting it...... Surely there is a far simpler way, or if not I would accept a long winded way. Thankee

Dimples	Create an invisible dummy caster, give it a spell based on Bloodlust, order it to cast it on allied units in range. That's what I would do, anyway.

Bloodlust

I quote myself:

Quote:

The new buff-stuff make it pretty easy

If you want the ability to drain mana over time, base it on immolation, if you want the ability to cost mana if something happens, base it on manashield.
Now you go to buffs and copy the manashield/immo buffs and edit them (& add lvl-1 lvl-2 and lvl-3 in editor suffix)
Then go back to the ability to "buffs" and put those 3 in there.

Now you create a trigger that detect the BUFF on a unit, like:

If Player 1s sexy Corruptionsmaster of ultimate evil destruction and true darkness attacks a unit run some actions like:
if he has buff corruptionstrike 1 and his mana is equal to 15 or more
then X (i.e. create dummy unit and cast a faerie fire edit or something like this)
now make the same for buff 2 and buff 3

Using Immolation for this, you can make activate-able auras that drain mana over time.

So do the following:

Make Immolation edit
Change immolation graphic into your aura
make 3 copies of the immolation buff
now pick the orginal aura and make 3 edits of it... ITEM abilities (!) (3 edits if u have 3 levels)

make a trigger like event: unit casts spell aurastuff and action save unit variable caster_aurastuff to triggering unit
make trigger that checks every second if unit aura_casterstuff has buff X, then add ability aura-1 to unit
make 2 more if then else in it that add aura-2 and aura-3 and remove the others

worked for me i think, even if i did that aura trigger a while ago
