How do i make a spell that gives a 20% chance to -armor?

[Revengez]

Yes. I need help with this. I'm curious on how to make a passive spell that has a % chance to curse a unit when it attacks... +rep for help pls and ty.

Do you mean Curse the attacked unit or attacking unit?

If you mean attacked unit, simply use Orb of Lightning (new)

Else, you need to trigger it all

I want a % chance on attack, (i'm making a tower) that the unit thats being attacked will get corrupted, and suffer a - armor penalty.

you could make the passive an aura that only affects the caster. So that way you could:

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is attacked
    Conditions
        ((Attacking unit) has buff Devotion Aura) Equal to True
    Actions

then make your random numbers rolled. Or do what bob said, although I have never used lightning orb (new)

edit - instead of devotion aura the buff would obviously be whatever it is supposed to be

okey do a trigger with a dummyspell

event - unit is attacked
condition - unit has buff (your buff for passive skills)
random integer between 1-100 lesser than or equal to 5*real level of passive spell (lvl 1 5%, lvl2 10%, lvl3 15%, lvl4 20%, lvl5 25% to decrease armor)
action - create dummy unit (dummy unit with f.ex. fearie fire)
add expiration timer to last created unit 1 sec
order last created unit to fearie fire attacking unit

I'm sitting on wrong computer so i dont have the editor in front of me but this is how it looks, if you have any question just ask in this thread. (Maby i can do it if i have time and are on the right computer):thup:

Is the Orb of Corruption percent fueled? If not, you can modify Orb of Lightning to cast an Acid Bomb based spell on attack.

 

[bOb666777]

Yeah, what azlier said
Except Orb of Lightning (new) has a small bug with towers
You need to manually order to attack the target, as auto-acquired units will not trigger the orb
To fix this, make a trigger that detects when a unit acquires a target
If triggering unit has your ability, order triggering unit to attack acquired unit

 

[kingkingyyk3]

Event
A unit is attacked

Condition
The unit has the passive ability

Action
If GetRandomInt(1,100)<20 then
<ur curse code here><3

I think this would be best as a trigger, just like Scientific said use a dummy unit to cast Faerie Fire, and modify it's buff to the icon of corruption, change its description and just set the armor decrease of faerie fire as you like. Here's a trigger example:

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 20
    • (Level of Tower Passive for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Attacking unit)) at (Position of (Attacked unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add a 1.50 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add Faerie Fire to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Druid of the Talon - Faerie Fire (Attacked unit)

Just change the Tower Passive ability I put there to your towers ability and make it disabled, I hope I managed to help you.
