Custom orb

[_markone_]

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to make custom orb,
it should be something like this:
give % to do AoE damage

my 1st decision was to make it with trigger... it was simple, but problem appeared... this orb do stack with other orbs and arrows...

do anyone have idea how to solve it?

thx

1 - Does your Orb have cooldown?

2 - Place the trigger that you used.

3 - Orb based ability don't stack with them. The best to do is create a ability that does nothing (like Storm Hammers [Only the ability, not the upgrade] from Gryphon Rider) and make it do the AOE damage through triggers.

1 - Cooldown is the time that takes for cast the spell again (I see now that your orb is a item)

2 - Why you are turning your trigger off? Does your trigger works?

Btw, your trigger cause leaks. Better fix it.

3 - Well, create a passive ability that does nothing but create a trigger to cause effects when you have that ability. This doesn't have problems with Orbs and is best than use your item

 

[_markone_]

ye infact i know that its leak...

main problem is that my orb work with with other orbs... and i want to avoid it...

per example if hero have this and orb of corruption, both will work ... they will stack

im turning trigger off, to disable people pressing Attack then stop fast, cause it often fire triggers like this (triggers with event when attack)...

and i need Item, not spell

 

[NapaHero]

Then you gonna need 1 trigger per orb. Create a dummy unit and order it to cast a ability per orb. There's a custom script (I can't remember :banghead: ) to order each orb ability. Daxtreme or AceHart must know how to do this.

 

[_markone_]

im not sure that i got you...

problem is that my map have 16 more orbs, +Vampiric power + some heroes have arrows (like Frost arrow, Black Arrow, ...)

 

[Ghan]

> Daxtreme or AceHart must know how to do this.

What about poor Ghan?

All abilities have a number order string as well. That number can be used in Custom Scripts to order units if I remember correctly.

> problem is that my map have 16 more orbs, +Vampiric power + some heroes have arrows (like Frost arrow, Black Arrow, ...)

Do they use the same Order Ids?

> im turning trigger off, to disable people pressing Attack then stop fast, cause it often fire triggers like this (triggers with event when attack)...

I don't think that method will be very effective....

dunno :S

its like better have some protection then dont have it at all,
its maybe not full protection, but at least max fire rate is once every 0.25 seconds...

Owww....Srry Ghan

>>All abilities have a number order string as well. That number can be used in Custom Scripts to order units if I remember correctly.

Yup. That's why I remember from Daxtreme. This is a way to order a unit use a coded ability.

>>I don't think that method will be very effective

Really it wouldn't.

 

[_markone_]

so how should i make sure that pressing a-s fast do not fire this trigger?

 

[Ghan]

> so how should i make sure that pressing a-s fast do not fire this trigger?

Best way? Use the Unit Takes Damage event instead of A Unit Is Attacked.

 

[_markone_]

ye but using unit takes damage for all units on map... hmm wont that be laggy??

 

[Ghan]

> wont that be laggy??

Not unless all of units on the map take damage at once and you have 10 special effects in the trigger.

Events just sitting around don't cause lag.

 

[_markone_]

Hmm, sounds ok... i will make it like that





but still i have stacking problem :banghead::banghead::banghead:
can u guys be more specific with solution?

 

[_markone_]

would it work if i make my item based on searing arrows, then detect every casting and attach my aoe dmg?
