Help with aoe ability add in Trigger editor...

[ennoctven]

Ok I'm trying to build a spell that gives all units in an area of effect an ability, and additional life, but i dont know the Trigger editor well enough to get it to work properly... any ideas?

Best idea - learn the trigger editor, then make your ability.

Not my best idea - Have a rect move to the point of cast and then have a dummy unit cast charm on each unit in that rect.

try giving the main unit a aura that do nothing, and give them the ability and life (use the Item Health Increasing Spell, so no icon). You will find the Event "Units within Range" useful.

 

[dArKzEr0]

If you base it off an aura, it won't be targettable.

 

[Duwenbasden]

Using it in conjunction with "Units within range" will work.

 

[dArKzEr0]

An aura practically IS saying "units within range" is it not?

 

[Duwenbasden]

It is only used to tell the player which unit has the abilities.

I think ive got it figured out, I think Im going to use either the temporary speed boost item effect, or the temporary health and armor one. Though I might be back at square one... I dont know Ill try to figure it out..


Ok nice! Thanks! I found a condition under boolean called unit has buff so I can actually build around the problem I had along with the unit within range thing... The aura actually isnt going to help in my situation, but a good idea if It didnt need to be active.
