Berserker's call

[Towels87]

How would I program axe's berserker call ability in my own custom map.

i'd like it to have 5 levels
350AoE
level 1: 5 seconds 100mana
level 2: 8 seconds 125mana
level 3: 11 seconds 150 mana
level 4: 11 seconds 125 mana
level 5: 15 seconds 125 mana

with a 45 second cool down.

I thought this would do it but i was wrong.

Provoke2
Events
Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Begins casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Provoke
Provoke2 Equal to Provoke2
Actions
Unit - Make (Attacked unit) face (Casting unit) over 9.00 seconds
Unit - Order (Attacked unit) to Attack (Casting unit)


then again....I've never done this before, nor have i programmed.... =(

Well, what is the Attacked Unit?

Because your events consists of: A Unit Begins Casting An Ability. The only refrences you can use are: Target Point of Ability Being Cast, Casting Unit, Triggering Unit, and Target Unit of Ability Being Cast.

And you seem to understand alooot for a person who's never used triggers b4 =D keep practising and ...

Edit: Example Trigger Included:

If your spell is based off a single unit-target spell like Storm Bolt:

Spoiler

Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Berserker's Call
Actions
Unit - Order (Target Unit of Ability Being Cast) to Attack (Triggering Unit)

If your spell is based off Taunt:

Spoiler

You dont need triggers =P Unless you want the Armor Bonus that goes with Berserk's Call.

Armor Bonus:

Spoiler

Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Berserker's Call
Actions
Order <a dummy unit> to Human Priest-Inner Fire <set the armor increase to whatever you want, and disabling everything else> (Triggering Unit)

Note: Can be combined with above trigger.

"And you seem to understand alooot for a person who's never used triggers b4 =D keep practising and ..."

Thanks, I'm a pretty smart guy, alot of it seems like logic.

I think i may have an incomplete editor or something cause I can't find the "Target Unit of Ability Being Cast".

i'll keep looking, but thanks alot I appreciate it!


and thank you too VnBear, i'll probably use that cause i want to include the defense bonus too.

Or you can base Berserker's Call off of Roar and set it to hit enemies, to apply the buff, instead of making a dummy and casting a spell.. Would a simpler route, the rest looks precise though, yes.

1: He's a hero in DotA.
2: It's a taunt, for some reason the in-game taunt doesn't work. This forces units and heroes to attack the caster for a given amount of time.
3: I believe he wants it to accomplish #2.

 

[I_RULE_YOU]

Axe is a hero in dota. Berserker's Call is an ability Axe has that causes all nearby enemy units to attack him for a short period of time, and it raises his defense. It forces them to attack him, they cant run, so it's not like a simple Taunt thing.

Instead of creating a dummy to cast Inner Fire, why not just trigger it to give him an item ability that gives increased defense then remove it at the end of the ability duration?
