Help With An Ability

[Jagan]

Hi people, I am trying to trigger a aura/passive spell that adds 1 Agility to my hero for every friendly unit in an AoE. Can someone point me in the right direction? I don't particularly need a testmap or anything, for I am just hoping to learn something from the many veterans around here.

Thanks in advance.

You'd have to check when a unit has the buff/ability and then pick every unit within x of the unit which has it, and add agility... But i'm not really sure since i never did such a spell.

 

[Renendaru]

You can use a dummy ability, which will be an aura, then have a trigger, trigger upon learning the dummy ability that will give Item Add Agility, or w/e, to the allied units.


Not sure if this will work, but...

[Jagan]

Hmm can't seem to set the level of the Add Agility ability right. It stays at level 1.

Help?


EDIT: @Renendaru - It's a passive/aura spell. But thanks for trying. Can you take a look at my codes so far?

 

[ThePlague]

cant see anything wrong in your code but why not use
Hero-Modify Hero attribute instead of an ability?

 

[vypur85]

This might help.

 

[HappyPeasant]

um...
why not just make a trigger that checks 500 around caster. set int var = number of units. then add int # to agi....

 

[demotry241]

huhu.. let me try.


every 2 seconds of game time

condition

action

set DAGROUP = units in whole map with matching condition, matching unit level of (da dammi ability) is more or equal to 1,and matching unit is alive.

pick all units in da group

loop
set 2nd Da Group = units within 600 range of picked unit matching condition matching unit is an ally of picked unit = true and alive.
------
set level of agility bonus of picked unit to number of units in 2nd da group,


then just destroy leaks....


unit learns an ability

ability being learn = da dummy ability

add ability ( agility bonus) to triggering unit

set level of ability(agility bonus) for trigerring unit to 1

level 1 of that agility bonus must add 0 bonuses

 

[Jagan]

Thanks a lot, guys. I'll get back to you as soon as I try them out!

 

[Jagan]

Hmm.. It still doesn't set the ability level right. The count for the number of units in the group is accurate but somehow the leveling seems to be bugged. Can some check it out for me? These are the updated codes. I'll upload the map if this still doesn't work.

Thanks again.

EDIT: Am using a custom Attribute Bonus for the bonus agility, just in case that was of any importance.

 

[Jagan]

Ermmm...bump? Any help, guys? Would really like to get this spell to work. It's the final spell for my hero. I'd willingly +Rep for anyone who contributes a hand.

 

[AceHart]

> SoulEmpowermentUnitsNumber Greater than 0

This condition can't fail.
The loop will not run with no units in the group.

 

[Jagan]

So what should I change it to?

 

[AceHart]

Put the loop inside the "then"?

 

[Jagan]

Erm, please specify exactly? I don't quite get it. Sorry, I'm not exactly a pro when it comes to triggers yet.

I don't get why it doesn't work. It counts the number of units in the group and also adds the bonus agility spell correctly, but somehow the level just can't be set according to the number of units. Weird.

 

[AceHart]

If Number greater than Max
- Set Number = Max
If Number less than 1 then
- Set Number = Max

Unit - Add ability ... to Caster
Unit - Set level of Ability ... for Caster to Number


The loop is not needed.
Or did I miss something here?

 

[Jagan]

If Number greater than Max
- Set Number = Max
If Number less than 1 then
- Set Number = Max

Unit - Add ability ... to Caster
Unit - Set level of Ability ... for Caster to Number


The loop is not needed.
Or did I miss something here?

Errr...wouldn't that make having 0 allied units nearby set the level of the bonus agility to max as well?

 

[AceHart]

Yes.

But,
> Unit - Add Soul Empowerment (Bonus Agility) to SoulEmpowermentCaster

This isn't doing anything to "Picked unit" either...

Still doesn't work. Hmm or did I get your message wrongly? It still only adds the ability and does not set the level properly.

 

[AceHart]

Just a question, you tested of course to set the level to 3, without this trigger, to see if it actually works with levels?
