cant stack buffs !

Wow this really screwed me over in my map im making, I had no idea. I thought if I had like 5spells based off farie fire, but changed the buffs of each it would be fine, not true though :(. Anyway to get around it?

So is it inpossible?

You will actually have to change the base spell for every spell - having a hero with more than one spell with the same base ability causes results that are generally undesirable (ie, only one of the spells will fire).

Instead of having all five based off of faerie fire, find other similar spells to faerie fire, like frost armor, heal, bloodlust, etc. I'm assuming you plan to trigger the spells effects, and by similar I mean other autocast spells with a target.

They dont all got the same spell............ Its different units im talking about

3 units each have a spell based off farie fire
2 each havea a spell based off acid bomb


^ the only 2 spells that reduce armor and are single target(though i guess innerfire and frost armor backwards might work)

so I make 5spells 3based off farie fire and 2 off acid bomb

3different units each have a spell based off farie fire and all cast it on 1 guy = only 1 will work thats my problem, there not all on same guy


and I have like probably 10spells that are based off shadowstrike, and theres not that many direct damage over time spells :(

I believe spells based off of shadow-strike will stack just fine, since shadow strike stacks with itself (I think).

As far as dealing with your problem with armor reducing spells, if you want them to stack I think you're going to have to be creative. Do what you said, and try changing two spells to be based off inner fire and frost armor with negative values. For the fifth spell, maybe trigger it by adding a negative armor Item Ability to the unit (temporarily). If you need help with this, let us (the forum) know.

K will do....... I dont think shadowstrike stacks however, im like 90%sure it dont...... the initial damage sure but if it has 2 ss on a unit im prety sure they both dont do damage over time

Tested and as I suspected bad news :(

they dont stack, it is nice enough to use the highest damage one though

so if 1 shadowstrike spell is cast on a unit, that does 50damage per second
and another unit then cast shadowstrike on the same unit, and it only does 10damage a sec, it will stay at 50dmg per sec, then if a 3rd guy does a shadowstrike spell that does 100dmg a sec, that will then be the damage over time

and I have lots based off shadowstrike so now I think I am screwed

Leave it to me to always find the problems/limits in world editor, seems like every time I want to make a map, that sounds pretty easy to do, for some odd reason it just never works
