combining effects for s spell

03-11-2007, 04:52 AM

i need to make a spell that turns on/off, increases attack speed and movement speed, increases damage, and drains mana. ive been fideling with the trigger editor trying to do it but i have no idea where to start. i guess i can make a trigger where when caster casts immolation it would add the effects i want and end when it is deactivated. i mean i wanna add the effects to the player and not the actual ability. only problem is im a noob with a little bit of experiance looking at samble spells other people made to get the basics of how to make a spell. also all the options in the trigger editor makes my head hurt. can anyone walk me through the process of making this spell or make one i can see in a demo map? that way i can just make it myself by looking at how you did yours.

ZiegSlavric	i put add ability command aura and endurance aura, both do what i need it to do. now only problem is when i turn immolation off the effects of those still remain, im having trouble finding the abilty or whatever that turns immolation off. now i need it so that when i turn off immolation off the abilities go away too.

ZiegSlavric	ok that helps. also would there be anyway to add the skills effect rather than the actual skill? like it will recieve the added move/attack rate while not actually gaining the abilty of endurance aura.

ZiegSlavric-

For the "not showing up on the hero's command card" thing, do this:

Set up your aura spells that you need to add to the hero
Create a new spell based off of "spell book" (search in the object editor for it), and set the "shared cooldown" field to false; you don't need to change anything aesthetic
Add your aura spells to the spellbook in the Object Editor
Make a trigger that looks like this:

Trigger:
Events
Map initilization
Conditions
Actions
Player Group - Pick every player in (All players and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Player - Disable <Your New Spellbook> for (Picked Player)
----- If you repeat this process and need to disable more abilities, add them to this list -----
Then, to detect when a unit uses your immolation-based ability and do things accordingly, make a trigger like so:

Trigger:
Events
Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
Ability being cast equal to <Your Immolation-based ability>
Actions
Unit - Add <Your spellbook> to (Triggering Unit)
Unit - Set level of (Your Aura based ability) to level of <Your Immolation-based ability> for (Triggering Unit)
----- Repeat the above action as necessary, or not at all, if the aura doesn't have multiple levels -----
To remove the abilities correctly, make a trigger such as this:

Trigger:
Events
Unit - A unit is issued an order with no target
Conditions
(Issued order) Equal to (Order(unimmolation))
Unit-type of (Triggering Unit) equal to <Unit-type of your unit that can cast this spell> [if there are more than one unit type, add an "Or" condition]
Actions
Unit - Remove <Your spellbook> from (Triggering Unit)

ZiegSlavric	thanks you for helping me, +rep i think, not really sure if thats what you do.

03-11-2007, 08:11 AM	#7
Pyrogasm	Yes, that is the ethical and scrupulous thing to do, as well as using correct grammar, punctuation, and appropriate abbreviation.

blu_da_noob	Please remember to edit your posts instead of double posting and not post the same thing in multiple forums in future.

... mess around in the trigger editor and try diffrent things. if you can't get it to work, go ask in the trigger forum for some help, and im sure someone (maybe even me!) will be willing to lend ya a hand ^^ ...

11:52 PM: the time this thread was made.

This indicates little effort on your part to try it for yourself, which is common when new to something like the World Editor. And the lack of common sense of not posting duplicate threads within 10 minutes of eachother is something also gained with time. Im not trying to insult you or anything, just pointing out that you should put some effort into remebering and learning this kinda stuff, instead of becoming annoying and banned like some new people. I hope and belive you can become a happy and productive member of this community ^^

Pyrogasm	Well said, Earth-Fury. With luck, he'll gain a greater desire to search for and attempt things himself. And, at what point he does become stuck, he'll have at least tried. Off topic: Earth-Fury, the word "useful" only has 1 "l" in it, not two. Your signature is incorrectly spelled

Well, I must become a conceited bastard and link those posts of me editing a perfectly good-looking script.

Number 1
Number 2

Darkwulfv, Wyrmlord, and Moyack's Collective Guide to Beginner JASS (Which I found rather useful.

In fact, if you just linked the tutorials section, that would be a good help...

EDIT: Oh, and here's a link to an in-depth analysis of handles, but from a beginner's perspective.

And here's a link to the Search Feature. That's definitely going in my signature.
