Help: Base Ability

Yo! I need help picking the best base ability.

I want an ability that is just a button and targets the caster. No hidden, secret effects, it's only supposed to trigger.

I've already tried:

Defend - didn't even trigger the event.
Inner Fire - you have to pick a target.
Avatar - turns unit into a giant.


Instead of trying every possible ability I ask you guys which one you use for stuff like this. I'm surely not the first one to only want a button that does nothing?
 
try roar or that version of bloodlust which automaticly targets the caster.
Could you explain what do you want the spell to do..
 
I just want the spell to be cast, without doing anything else but putting some ZzZZzzzzz's above the casters head.

Sleep OnOff
Events
Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Sleep custom
Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
HeroSleep Equal to False
Then - Actions
Game - Display to (All players) the text: HeroSleep Equal to ...
Set HeroSleep = True
Else - Actions
Game - Display to (All players) the text: HeroSleep Equal to ...
Set HeroSleep = False



Sleep Base
Events
Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Sleep custom
Actions
Wait 1.00 seconds
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
HeroSleep Equal to True
Then - Actions
Unit - Order (Casting unit) to Stop
Unit - Pause (Casting unit)
Set HP = (Life of (Casting unit))
Set HP = (HP + 2.00)
Unit - Set life of (Casting unit) to HP
Else - Actions
Unit - Unpause (Casting unit)
Unit - Remove Sleep buff buff from (Casting unit)



I want the Condition to work.
Don't bother about the Life increase, I would put it in another event which is triggered from this one instead, to make it increase every second. Also the unit becomes locked in pause from this, since the button which turns off sleep dissapears... anyway to go around this?
Otherwise I'll have to do another approach, but either way I have to get the condition to work.
 
An ability that's self-casting only?

Item Rejuvenation Effect

Or something like that. Basically, you click it and you gain life (which will solve that problem for you as well) and as for the Z's, I'm sure all you have to do is copy some fields from Sleep to add those attachments.
 
... You're... Kidding me, right?

Items themselves don't come with the ability. Rather, the item has an ability in it. Go to the Ability Editor and there's a HUGE list of Item abilities. It's listed there.
 
Ok, didn't know that. Thanks!
But still, it's not what I'm looking for. I just want a button, nevermind the health regen.
 
Either put the health regeneration to 0, or base the ability off 'Channel'
 
Basing an ability off of Channel will give you full customization for a dummy ability. Of course, channel does nothing, so you have to use triggers that run when the ability is casted.

Channel is customizable to be Instant (casting yourself basically, but you'll have to use casting unit instead of target unit of ability being cast, since it actually means no target), Unit Target, Point Target, or Unit/Point target (not sure the importance of this one)
 
you can use fan of knives, the ability of the mountain king to damage units around, and other abilitys what damage units around.

    I think on the new one they did change it, but idk. I don't really care whatever the government is doing right now because it's consistently absurd. Like what is RFK doing in charge of health anything? I love the bear story because WTF was that, but also, pretty much every time he talks it's WTF. Like even his voice sounds microwaved

    The pyramid is fucking dumb as shit, no matter how you arrange it.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's actually remarkably easy to make mayonnaise though. Fun fact, it USED to kind of be a French mother sauce. I believe that Careme considered it one, it may have been aioli but that has also built a different meaning than it used to. An aioli is just mayonnaise I mixed with other shit typically, I didn't start it don't come at me
  • Varine Varine:
    It's very hard to do it on a large scale though
  • Varine Varine:
    Depending on how you pour the oil the consistency can vary wildly, but that's true for most emulsions. I can only make about two quarts at a time with my robo coup, and if I have to make several in series because I forgot to order it becomes really obvious even when I do it. We have to wait and mix them all together to make sure we have the same thing.
  • Varine Varine:
    Hollandaise is also kind of like that, emulsions require a very steady hand to do exactly the same every time.
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

  • Varine Varine:
    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know
