Stacking Orbs - An attack detection engine

01-03-2006, 12:15 PM

Someone was needing it in the forums so I am uploading this without any update but some changes to links.

It is an attack detection engine, it is not perfect but it is impossible to do a perfect one (Detects attack hits, not when the attack starts)

As an application I made some orbs that act like wc3's orbs but can be stacked. Also an InvX version is included

Just don't use the feature (it requires you to set it up for the items)

*Edit*ohh set the rawcode of page up and last page to 0

Oh god don't do that, that will just kill InvX, its whole intention is to add inventory slots.

Well if you want to use the other stuff but normal inventories, just use a normal number of inventory size (any lower than 6)

uhh what? cant u just use frost orb ability, like this:

Code:

event- any unit is damaged
condition-
action- 
if Trigger Unit has buff Frost Orb then
remove Frost Orb buff from Trigger Unit
//actions on attack damage
else
//actions on spell damage
endif

Vexorian	Wow you are so right thanks. Massive rep going to be added to you

shadow1500	np its simple but since orbs cant stack this cant be used in melee games.

Vexorian	well melee games didn't need this that much, and I since you are able to detect attacks' damage that easy you can always make your own orbs for that melee game.

qwertyui	I'll need that for my map :) Just need to make orbs stack with skills like "frost arrow" and such.

Vexorian	that requires a completelly different solution though

qwertyui	/me feels like a n00b Can you tell more about it?

Vexorian	mostly besides of being able to detect attacks' hits you have to be able to know if the attack was enhanced by an arrow spell

Well, the arrow would leave behind a buff in the same way an orb would, no?

Vexorian	yeah, but that would prevent the detection of the orb of frost buff, cause they don't stack

Anitarf	So? The attack-damage detection system would then just have to check for all the arrows' buffs as well as the default orb buff. Of course, the arrow buff would have to be a dummy buff in that case, and the arrow effects triggered in the same way as any other attack-based skills, but that's what the system is for anyway, making triggered skills.
