Devour

[lopp231]

I made a custom Devour for a hero, and it's not working! When I click on an enemy unit nothing happens, my hero won't devour it. But if i click on my own unit it will say can't target friendly units? Whats up?

It's been a while since i've played around with devour, but take a look at a kodo or a dragon, see what abilities they have, i think devour needs a cargo to function

 

[lopp231]

What is a cargo? And how do i give it to my hero?

 

[WastedSavior]

Find the below field on your hero

Abilities - Normal - (Add the ability devour cargo)

New problem!
I want to give the player who devours a creep bonus gold based on the devoured unit's bounty. Example: A creep is worth 100 gold, my hero devours it, when the creep is dead, the hero gets +110 gold. So my trigger would be something like
unit dies
unit dies from devour (maybe?)
add property to player owner of unit casting devour or something?
help me! =]

hmmm well i dunno if devour has buff to detect but try doing something like this:

Event
    A unit start the effect of an ability
Conidtion
   (Ability being cast) Equal to Devour  
Action
   Set Devoured_Unit = Target Unit of ability being cast

Event
    A unit Dies
Condition
    (Triggering unit) equal to Devoured_Unit
Action
    Add property.....

i dunno if devour has target unit but anyway if it doesn't have than detect the killing unit and just turn on and off the 2nd trigger everytime (of course u should make a few changes)
anyway hope i helped

Thank you, that was helpful!
But is there an action to add a property that isn't a set number. Like instead of gaining 10 gold, you gain 10% of the unit's bounty?

 

[Doom-Angel]

Set Integer = Current gold owned by player 1 (Red)/10

here's a 10% of player's bounty i hope u got the point

 

[lopp231]

Not 10% of your total gold, 10% of the devoureded unit's bounty.
Example: A creep is worth 100 gold, when you finish devouring him you get 110 gold.
A creep is worth 50 gold, when you finish devouring him you get 55 gold.
Or you get 25% of the unit's bounty.
So a creep is worth 100 gold, when you finish devouring him you get 125 gold.
And so on..

i don't think it's possible to detect the unit's bounty unless u detect like the already given bounty after death and add 10% more....
