How to make a Time Bomb?

[Purification]

Could anyone tell me how I could make something like a bomb which has a countdown, and the target of the bomb can pass the bomb to another enemy where the countdown will continue? How should I code that? Thanks for any help.

would it be similar to:
a.) pass the bomb
or
b.) c4 from counter strike.

I think what I want would be closer to option a).

So if that will be an item...just use custom values...
The simplest trigger starts from here:-

Event - 
Unit acquires an item
Conditions - 
Item Type (Item Being maniputed) = Time Bomb
Actions - 
Item - Set Custom value = 5

Event - Every 1 second of game time

Actions -

Items pick all items on the map matching (Item is of type (Time Bomb) and Item is Owned = true)

If (custom value of item = 0)
then 
Item - Remove Item
Unit - Damage Target for X damage

This code is just a simple template...
Use timers to be accurate...I cant eaborate much cuz i am using a cell phone.
Gud Luck.

But is there any other way to make it other than using it as an item?

 

[demotry241]

sure there is....


instead of an item

we can use a buff.

Could anyone give me a more thorough explanation? I'm rather new to this stuff

theres a mini-game like this in uther party with the mortars.
just use any point-target ability then probably something like this
add the explode ability from sappers to all units(kaboom).

event unit starts the effect of an ability
//lets make the ability being storm bolt;
condition - ability = storm bolt

action- set "unit variable" = target point of ability being cast;
Unit - Add Storm Bolt to (Target unit of ability being cast) // here u add the ability to the bomb-target;
//HERE U CAN PUT A CONDITION TO REMOVE THE ABILITY SO ONLY 1 UNIT CAN USE THE ABILITY AT A TIME.
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Picked unit) Not Equal to fvunit Then - Actions
Unit remove ability storm bolt from picked unit
Else - Actions
Do nothing

trigger - turn on timer
trigger - run timer


trigger timer:
event - every 1 second
set timer = timer+1;
sound - play sound "tick"
wait 5 seconds;
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Picked unit) Equal to fvunit and timer =5 // timer needs to be 5 in condition also cause this will run every 1 second

Then - Actions
Unit - Order fvunit to Neutral - Kaboom! (Position of fvunit)
Else - Actions
Do nothing

set timer = 0;
trigger - turn this trigger off;

sound - play sound "tick"
**
change pick every units to ur condition
and the ability need to have a 4 second cooldown or something then the player only have 1 second to use it or something

Have a dummy unit with an aura that targets only owner's own units, and when someone passes the bomb, change the ownership of the dummy

If we say that it is an ability then it could look like this:Timebomb

 Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Timebomb
    Actions
        Floating Text - Create floating text that reads You just used Timeb... above (Triggering unit) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
        -------- Time should be set to the countdown time you want --------
        Set time = 0
        Floating Text - Change text of (Last created floating text) to (The bomb will explode in: + (String(time))) using font size 10.00
