gold stealing ability?

[25jai]

i see some maps that has a gold gaining or stealing ability...how do i do this? is there really a gold stealing ability?.. so when ever i attack a unit with the hero with that ability i see coins splashing out of the unit but the unit didnt die yet...and i get gold for each of that attack. how do i make that ability?

Make an ability based on something useless like unholy aura or pheonix fire.

Give it no icon.

Do this trigger:
Events- A unit is attacked
Conditions- (Attacking unit) has the God Stealing Ability equal to True (dodgy condition, not sure if it exists )
Actons- Set Gold (owner of (attacking unit) to ((gold of (owner of attacking unit) + (x gold))

Same action only change gold of owner of attacking unit to gold of owner of triggering unit.

Also, change + (x gold) to - (x gold)

where it says x, change it to your needs.

Hope this works
Hope this helps

ya nice jindo but also

the gold stealing from attacked unit is equal to the attacking unit reciving? exemple

im the attacking with the ability "stealing" (i got 0 gold)
and i attack the (attacked unit = (0gold)
are u going to steal gold anyway or wont be able to

beacuse if u use set gold to attacking unit ur not stealing just adding
but u can also set if all cond true (cond attacked unit gold greater than or equal to (the gold u will steal on lvls)
that will make the gold of attacked unit loses and attacking wins gold

 

[0cossin77]

set gold (owner of unit(attacked unit)) to ((gold of (owner of attacked unit) - (x gold))
and that be how it workes, put after jindo's actions

no dude i think u not understand ... if the attacked unit has no gold?

ok give me a second to fix up a trigger
First make this trigger

Steal gold on
Events
Unit - A unit Learns a skill
Conditions
(Get last learned skill of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Your Ability)
Actions
Trigger - Turn on Steal Gold <gen>

Then make this trigger

Steal Gold
Events
Unit - A unit Is attacked
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Your unit
Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
((Owner of (Attacked unit)) Current gold) Greater than or equal to x
Then - Actions
Player - Set (Owner of (Attacking unit)) Current gold to (((Owner of (Attacking unit)) Current gold) + x)
Player - Set (Owner of (Attacked unit)) Current gold to (((Owner of (Attacked unit)) Current gold) - x)
Else - Actions
Do nothing

make that trigger initally off

PS. this needs WEU

 

[Jindo]

instead of the actions do the same kind of thing with if then else and loop actions

If All Conditions ae true then do then actions else do else actions.

Then actions
the actions are the actions that i put at the top.

Else Actions
Do nothing.

Hope that helps
Good luck

thanks for the help but ....im trying to do one without the triggers or both because the skill itself has a splash of coins everytime i attack a unit. heres what i did.

i used the ability pillage ( orc ability that gains resources when attackin enemy buildings ) i edit its (tagets Allowed) so i gain gold every time i attack...but is there like away to set its exact amount of gold gained? if i take off accumlation step to 0 it crashes my computer...

"i dont want use Triggers"
grrrrr come on u need trigers or else u will make a bad map...

why did the trigger above require WEU? It looked standard to me... Anyway, that is pretty much how I would make a steal gold ability. I gave it some thought once (I give everything some thought...) and came up with a similar method. I don't see why it would require WEU.
