How to have a chance to reduce armor?

[nabbig2]

I want an item ability, so that when you have the item, you have a chance to reduce the enemies armor momentarily, how would I do it? Thanks.

E: A unit is attacked
C: Attacking Unit Has (The Sunderer) Equal to True
A: If (Random integer between 1 and 100 Lesser then or Equal To 15)
    Then
    Set TmpPoint = Position of Attacked unit
    Create A Sunder Dummy for Owner Of Attacking Unit at TmpPoint
    Unit - Add a Generic Expiration Timer to Last Created Unit
    Unit - Order Sunder Dummy to Night Elf Druid - Faerie Fire Attacked Unit
    Else

There might be little differences in the commands, but you get the picture

Thats pretty much how I'd do it.
Remember to remove the Location, and change the buffs and stuff of faerie fire

 

[Doom-Angel]

why using trigger?
just change faerie fire to item ability and add it to the item - simple and clean

 

[eloytoro]

err no, it wont have a chance to trigger then, it cant be just and "item ability"

Thanks, what function do I use to get to Attacking units has item equal to true?

 

[Romek]

Boolean, Unit has item. If i remember correctly.

 

[nabbig2]

Thanks, just 2 more questions. How do I get this part:

Unit - Order Sunder Dummy to Night Elf Druid - Faerie Fire Attacked Unit

I can get the order, but where is the option to order Sunder Dummy?


Also, how many seconds do I put to the generic timer? Thanks.

Just so you know, you'll be able to see invisible units under this effect with that method

 

[nabbig2]

Okay, thanks for letting me know; but can you answer my last post?

Sunder Dummy was just a dummy unit that Sinan created as an example

2 sec generic exp timer should be fine, your dummy spell will definitely be cast in that time

 

[baka-ranger]

Couldn't orb of lightning and any unit cast ability that reduces armour be used for this? For example cripple or faerie fire? saves on the trigger but introduces the attack-move problem...

 

[Weyrling]

Alternate method:
Use the 'Orb of Slow' item ability, and put the 'orb of corruption' ability into it, then just choose your % and throw it into an item.

You meant Orb of Lightning (new). He must base his ability on it.

Remember it'll be an Orb effect.

 

[Kling[o]]

Don't use faerie fire because it show invisible unit (use it if it's ok to see invis unit)

 

[Ayanami]

Whats with the necro? We understand you're a skilled Necromancer, but this isn't the place to display your necromancy skills.
