Abilities help please

1. I need help making some abilities which are passive (like critical strike) and have a chance on casting another (custom?) ability. Eg. The abillity gives you a 50% chance to cast War Stomp.

2.I made an ability which the ability "Soul Theft" is the base abillity. I want to make a trigger that when you have 5 souls (as in capturing 5 units) you gain some damage bonus or transform into another unit.

Kudos.

You should do as following (you will need a dummy caster, ask or made a search if you don't know what is it):

Trigger:

Critical Stomp

Events

Unit - A unit Is attacked

Conditions

(Level of War Strike (your custom ability) for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0

Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

(Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 50

Then - Actions

Unit - Create 1 Dummy Caster for (Owner of (Attacking unit)) at (Position of (Attacking unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

Unit - Add War Stomp to (Last created unit)

Unit - Set level of War Stomp for (Last created unit) to (Level of War Strike for (Attacking unit))

Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - War Stomp

Else - Actions

Do nothing

I hope it helps. Cheers

Pyrogasm	Just spreadin' the love: Putting a "Do Nothing" anyhere in a GUI script is completely and utterly useless. Here's what the function looks like: JASS: function DoNothing takes nothing returns nothing endfunction Dumb, eh?

st33m	Yeah I wondered why that was really... you know... real? Anyway, you can also use the Lightnign Orb ability and hide it and use a dummy passive ability (or none if you want). You can also show it if you want, but it shows up kind of grayed out and looks funny. By hide it of course I mean use that spellbook trick.

Yes I know, I just use it while in GUI because it makes the code more understandable, that's all
