Custom Ability (Fortitude Aura)

[Phantompoo]

I've created an aura that provides a health buff to units similar to fortitude in WoW. Rank 1 works perfectly, but rank 2 and 3 are broken. I'm sure it's something in my trigger. Basically, the issue is that when a unit is in range, it receive the rank 1 health buff (100 hp) but when they leave range, they lose rank 2 or 3 health buff (200 and 300 hp respectively). It basically kills my team if they get the aura more than once.

        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (PickedUnit has buff Fortitude Aura ) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Add Fortitude to PickedUnit
            • Unit - Set level of Fortitude for PickedUnit to (Level of Fortitude Aura for TriggerUnit)
          • Else - Actions
        • Wait until ((PickedUnit has buff Fortitude Aura ) Equal to False), checking every 0.10 seconds
        • Unit - Remove Fortitude from PickedUnit

If anyone spots an issue that could be causing my problem, please let me know. Thanks.

Instead of using a wait, put the remove Fortitude action in the else actions of your If/Then/Else.

That doesn't change the effect of the spell, but it reduced the length of the trigger. I still have the problem though.

The "Item - Life Bonus" itself is bugged. It will only ever add the level 1 value. However, when you set it to a different level and remove the skill, it will remove life equal to that level's value.

Oh i didn't know that. I guess i'll try something else

but there is a work around that... i read it somewhere.. i think actually glenphir has this work method..

where you set the HP - Bonus to a negative value (-100, -200, -300)
and then give it to the unit, and remove it, so then the unit have the correct hp...
i think.. not sure

Fixed the problem. 3 seperate If/then/else actions, had to recreate each buff per rank.

• Action
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.04 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Owner of TriggerUnit)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set PickedUnit = (Picked unit)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (PickedUnit has buff Fortitude Aura ) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Add Fortitude to PickedUnit
          • Else - Actions
            • Unit - Remove Fortitude from PickedUnit
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (PickedUnit has buff Fortitude Aura 2 ) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Add Fortitude 2 to PickedUnit
          • Else - Actions
            • Unit - Remove Fortitude 2 from PickedUnit
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (PickedUnit has buff Fortitude Aura 3 ) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Add Fortitude 3 to PickedUnit

Here's my post quite some time ago, explaining the theory behind it.
