Burning Oil?

I've been trying to design an ability based on Burning Oil for a hero, but the ability doesn't seem to work in-game. I took off the tech-requirements for the BO upgrade (the upgrade doesn't have any other effect). The only things I changed about the ability were Duration, Full/Half Damage Amounts and Intervals, number of levels, and I changed it to a Hero ability.

The missile art still shows, but the units never burn. I didn't change the Targets Allowed.

I don't see why any of this should affect the ability...

Anyone have any ideas?

look at the ability/unit stats...
check the batrider

you need an artillery-type attack

Crap... this ability wont work out then.

how do I take away Attack Ground? the Remove Ability function and setting Show UI in the hero's combat stats to false don't work.

you dont, believe me I wasted like a week trying to find a way. try to somehow make a trigger that does what u want.

I doubt this will work, but try removing Attack-Ground from the unit when it spawns. Does anyone know the ability code (NOT ORDER I want the Axxx one) for attack ground. Im almost positive you cant remove it like that though, but give it a shot.

you cant, theres no ability, its like attached to attack or something

I didnt thinkso, but I couldof sworn I looked in the ability list and I saw "Attack-Move"- then again that was a while ago, and I barley remember it

make a dummy unit with the ability shoot each time you attack...

that may work, but thats always buggy because theres no "unit attacks" thing, unless u use the order string, which i dont know :( it would still be hard tho. but best idea ive seen yet :////

Event
Generic unit event - Unit is attacked
Condition
Attacking unit = to (your hero here)
Skill level of oil for attacking unit at least 1

There you go

If you don't want an artillery style attack, setting the attack type to "Missile Splash" works too. No need for triggers.

oy. heres the trigger ull need:

unit attacks

atacking unit is of type hero

spawn *invis unti with imolation to ur specifications*

wait game tiem *blah*

kill spawned unit


... its harder then that but i gave you the meat of the ability. now u gota cook it and add the spice
