Linera	I've tried and tried to make a custom attack system using spells and not the attack command but always failed. please help me.

Anitarf	Hmmm... what precisely is the problem?

Linera	it doesn't detect the spell being cast even though the trigger runs and no damage is done. Can someone help write a custom attack trigger? I'll give credit for the help in my maps credits

Thunder_Eye	Do you use "ability being cast"? or what do you use? That might be the problem

Anitarf	Posting the non-working trigger would help... probably...

Here is the trigger:

Code:

attack normal
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Ability being cast) Equal to Onion Staff Attack (Onion Staff)
                (Ability being cast) Equal to Onion Sword Attack (Onion Sword)
            Then - Actions
                Set Defense[(Integer A)] = ((8.00 + ((Real((Intelligence of (Target unit of ability being cast) (Include bonuses)))) / 2.00)) + (Real((Hero level of (Target unit of ability being cast)))))
                Set CBR[(Integer A)] = ((Attack[(Integer A)] - Defense[(Integer A)]) / Attack[(Integer A)])
                Set Min_Damage[(Integer A)] = ((Dam[(Integer A)] + Bon[(Integer A)]) + (Sig[(Integer A)] x CBR[(Integer A)]))
                Set Max_Damage[(Integer A)] = ((Dam[(Integer A)] + Bon[(Integer A)]) + (Sig[(Integer A)] x (CBR[(Integer A)] + 4.00)))
                Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to ((Life of (Target unit of ability being cast)) - (Random real number between Min_Damage[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] and Max_Damage[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]))
                Game - Display to (All players) the text: (((String(Min_Damage[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))])) +  - ) + (String(Max_Damage[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))])))
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing

Vexorian	No ability can be 2 abilities at the same time You were supposed to use the OR function there

Linera	hold on let me quickly make the change and test it

Linera	no damage was done. it doesn't detect which spell is being casted Nevermind, I figured it out. The trigger was too long. by the time the trigger was done running the spell was done casting. so it did nothing

Thunder_Eye	You didnt put an "For each Integer A from 1 - <> do actions" You just used Integer A in the actions which wont work
