Abilities requiring nearby Parton

[Xain]

Im working on a RPG, and need help. I have NPCs that are of another team (allies) that have Select Hero and abilities. When I walk away the Select Hero button becomes disabled, but the abilities the NPC has are still useable, which I do not want sense they are abilites such as Speak with and what not.

Any ideas?

You're basically saying that your NPCs don't disable the abilities when you walk away from them. From what I understand at least.

As far as fixing it, well make a condition to where the person using the abilities must be within X range.

That's all I can think of really. Hope that helps. :thup:

I would do that but Ive seen other maps that require you to be near the unit for the ability to actually be activated, is it a certain ability that has this?

Likely they aren't abilities but units or items. What happens is triggered after you purchase the unit/item from the NPC. Could possibly trainable units as well but that would show the construction time.

 

[Xain]

could you make a unit isntantly constructable. so thus no construction time would show and thus, you would instantly do the ability.

just use an item with zero gold and lumber cost. trigger it that when a hero buys tht item a dummy unit will be created and will cast the ability, simple.

 

[Xain]

Wouldn't that place a number in the units (ability in my case) button? or just make the unit only be in stock for 1 or 0?

Let me get this right...

You want a NPC building / structure (Which is not your own building) to have some abilities, so you can walk up to the building, and use that buildings abilities? Otherwise I understanding nothing from these explanations

exactly as you described.

Okay, the closes to a solution I can find there is doing this:

1. Create the neutral shop, with Items inside, looking like abilities.
2. Make the items free and have the cooldown (stock delay) you want them to have.
3. Make a trigger like this A1 (Look further down).
4. Make a trigger like this A2 (Look further down).
5. You'll have to make a trigger for EACH of the abilities that looks like A3.
6. Example for hex: Make a trigger that looks like A3 (Look further down).

A1

    • Unit - Add Hex to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shadow Hunter - Hex (Random unit from SelectedGroup)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempLocation)

Hope this works for you
