Chance on hit via trigger

Flamethrower

Problem status: SOLVED

______________________________________________________________


I am making a custom spell called Flamethrower.
The unit has a 50% chance on each hit to use its flamethrower.
When flamethrower is used, the unit recieved a critical multiplier and splash damage, but only for that one hit.
To do this, I have to use a trigger.

This is what I've got:

Flamethrower cast
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is attacked
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Mechanical Master
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 50
            Then - Actions
                Unit - Add Flamethrower (Hidden Abilities)  to (Attacking unit)
                Unit - Set level of Flamethrower (Cleaving Attack)  for (Attacking unit) to (Level of Flamethrower  for (Attacking unit))
                Unit - Set level of Flamethrower (Critical Strike)  for (Attacking unit) to (Level of Flamethrower  for (Attacking unit))
                Player - Disable Flamethrower (Hidden Abilities)  for (Owner of (Attacking unit))
            Else - Actions
                Unit - Remove Flamethrower (Hidden Abilities)  from (Attacking unit)

The only problem is, it doesn't have a 50% chance to activate. It only works 25% of the time.

Why is this happening?

Why is this happening?

because its random.

dunno why you're getting the problem, but since its a 50% chance, you could just as easily have a random number between 1 and 2 and if it is 1 you do the stuff...

Is there any event that occurs before "A unit is attacked"?
Because, if there is, I could probably use that and it will most likely work.

On that note, when does "A unit is attacked" activate?
Is it when the unit takes damage? Or when an attack is issued? Or what?

Also, sometimes only the critical works, and sometimes only the splash works.
Why would this be happening?

Events
        Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    Conditions
        (Issued order) Equal to (Order(attack))

-- I could probably use that and it will most likely work
I don't think so...

On that note, when does "A unit is attacked" activate?
Is it when the unit takes damage? Or when an attack is issued? Or what?

*EDIT* Read post #6

not when its issued its when the unit is starting to attack the enemy, it triggers when a melee unit for example runs towards the enemy and strikes out or when a ranged units shots the missle towards the enemy
