If you mean Critical Strike... the passive one, it won't work. Passive Skills aren't detected.

If you can't edit some Art - Effect in the object editor, then you have to trigger the whole ability.

 

[morcius]

You say i must change ART and then TRIGGER somthing ?

 

[Mapster]

Try editing the art in the ability, if you can't make a triggered Critical Strike is what he meant.

I aded efect evrywhere where i can it wont show !!! :banghead:

 

[Mapster]

Then you will have to make a Critical Strike out of Triggers sorry.

This will get you on track with the ability

I tried messing with art for critical strike...nothing. I tried to make it so when a C.S. occurred, blood would come goozing out. But nothing worked for me in any of the art fields.

couldnt u use event

-unit starts the effect of an ability

because starting the effect of an ability isnt casting

> because starting the effect of an ability isn't casting

Well, yes it is, and, no it doesn't work with Critical Strike.

 

[Magazette2]

does it work with pulverise?

 

[AceHart]

As a general note, it works with abilities, autocast or otherwise, where the unit stops, casts the spell, then resumes its activities.
It does not work with spells that happen automatically without interrupting the unit.

Freezing Arrows for example doesn't trigger any events.
The arrows just happen as part of the actual attack.

Raise Dead, even on autocast, triggers the usual "starts the effet of",
because the unit actually stops whatever it is doing to cast it...

 

[Magazette2]

so pulverize would work because it doesnt attack it basically casts a spell instead of attacking?

 

[morcius]

Ahhh sad to hear

Then can i make a skill then you use it makes a critical and special efect has coldown mana cost... ?

I know...

Hey ehm... i sorta know... unfortuneatly it wont be like x2 the damage of the unit... but you can put in floating txt... ehm... im still newb so dont know exactly how to put that trigger stuff in...Ok..
make a new ability, basing it off of any damaging spell... then make another spell using item lightning damage bonus, kk, in that spell there is a field that says EFFECT ABILITY, add you;re previously made ability in there, okay now im not SURE this will work but it might... i wont see why not i sorta dislike blizzard they are impractical, especially with WoW, so it might not work, then make the same trigger you made last time, but this time, make the ability being cast = The FIRST ability you made(damaging one...) and do the actions from there... you can put in floating text reading the damage of youre 1st ability though... gl

Yes i will need luck i more like when someone explains me in triggers and other ways anyway i look tomorow .

 

[Mapster]

Take a look at that link i sent in my last post, that'll help you get it on track.

 

[morcius]
