How to Create an Ability to Give Units a Chance to Miss on Attack

[eskimojoe_66]

I am making a map in which the units use guns and I was wondering hw you could make a passive ability that gives a unit the chance to miss on attack. Pls help!

 

[Larcenist]

Give evasion to all units maybe?

 

[eskimojoe_66]

Larcenist:
Thx but no I cant do that because I want to have it so that different units have different levels of accucary and that can't be done by giving every unit evasion.

 

[Larcenist]

Then you would have to look up a damage detection system and modify the damage dealt using it.

mby use a dummy unit andhave it cast curse ??

 

[Igor_Z]

Or use something like this: Random integer from 1 to 100 less than or equal to... and then add spiked baricade with 100% damage reduction or something and then remove it when the unit takes dmg.. Very complicated in GUI i think...

 

[Viikuna]

I think curse with 0 duration lasts forever, so you could maybe use curse like darkbeer said.

 

[eskimojoe_66]

darkbeer & Viikuna:
Thx ya i'll use curse ty
++rep

Igor_Z:
Ughhh that sounds a bit too complicated but thx anyway

Or use bash with a miss chance and no stun chance

You would need to trigger it:

Miss
a Unit is attacked

If/then/else do actions:
conditions:Level of ability equal to 1
actions:If/then/else do actions:
conditions:Random number between 1 and 100 less than or equal to 10
create 1 dummy at position of triggeringUnit facing triggeringunit
order unit to (curse)

you would need to make curse last 0.50 seconds and be 100% chance to miss.

Sorry, Bash works like critical, it's the evasion part of the skill

>You would need to trigger it

Not like that you wouldn't. Read the rest of the thread, the solution is to give curse 0 duration. Then it lasts forever, with the miss chance included. Multiple levels of curse can be given to different units which is easily modifiable through triggers.

Definitely Critical Strike with a chance to do 0% damage. The only downside is that it says "0!" when you miss, but it personally doesn't bother me.

 

[D.V.D]

I suggest we do what saw said. It's the best way, doesn't show a 0 floating text and works perfectly fine.

 

[Akolyt0r]

I read over at wc3c, that when you set the damage multiplier of critical strike to -1% instead of 0% it wont show a 0!


so that would be perfect
if you dont want to show the icon of critical strike in the units commands panel, hide it in an disabled spellbook.

I use such way and works perfect.
With no-limits, duration can be 65k sec so its 18 hours
just actually i use silence which also reduce movement and attack speed ^^
