Custom Passive Abilites

[maerlyn]

How do I add custom effects to a passive ablitity? For instance, I want a chance to do a bouncing attack, or a chance to cast another spell when the ability is available and learned.

Help you out...

Try this:
Open the Object Editor and go to Abilities.
Then right click the little side menu with all the standard abilities and click New Custom Ability. Now take a passive ability like Critical Strike, and name it whatever you want then hit Ok. Now, scroll down the list of stuff with your new ability and go to Level 1-Data-Chance to Hit. You can set the three levels of this ability to whatever chance amount you want, like Level 2-Data-Chance to Hit- 50%. Once you have your hit percentage scroll down to Level 1-Data-Damage Bonus or if your doing not damage but a buff go to Level 1-Stats-Buffs and put in a buff that you want to happen when the chance to hit actually hits. Once you have all that done scroll all the way back up to Art-Icon- and pick an icon for your ability.

I hope this works for/helps you.

Thanks. I've been doing that. But how about if I wanted an entirely new effect on the ability? Say, if I wanted Critical Strike to do splash damage as well?

Splash Damage

For that on critical strike i believe you go to Level 1-Stats-Area of Effect for splash damage radius.

Bad exmaple, I guess. That's nothing new. What about if I wanted a chance to cast Charm on each attack? How would I add that?
