How to Make This Spell

[Ultramen]

How to make a passive spell that's effect is like that:
Level 1: If a unit attacks you, there is 10% that he will be cursed with entangling roots.
Level 2: If a unit attacks you, there is 15% that he will be cursed with entangling roots.
Level 3: If a unit attacks you, there is 20% that he will be cursed with entangling roots.

                Unit - Add Entangling Roots (custom) to (Last created unit)
                Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Entangling Roots (Attacking unit)
                Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing

You have to make a dummy caster unit with locust. The Entangling roots ability should have mana cost zero. Just use a dummy ability based on bash with all stats set to zero for your actual ability.

Event
   A unit is attacked
Conditions
  Level of YourAbility for (Triggering Unit) Greater than 0
Actions
   Set level = Level of YourAbility for (Triggering Unit)
  If (Random Integer between 1 and 100) less than ((level x 5) + 5)
     Create 1 Dummy unit at location of triggering unit
     Add entangling roots
     Order to cast entangling roots on (Attacking Unit)
     Add 2 second expiration timer
  Remove leaks

Don't have editor open at the moment.

EDIT: For above post, it is easier (better) to check if the unit has the passive, rather than check the unit-type. With your trigger, even if the unit doesn't have the ability there is a 5% chance it will fire anyway.

@ Saw, you're right, my bad.

 

[polo2005]

better if you did a damage detection ssytem...
think it can be buged if the attacker spam left click on your unit

 

[saw792]

And the attacker would deliberately disadvantage himself... why?

 

[polo2005]

well if he spam attack that unit who have that ability its a risk that it will be cast every time he clicks

 

[saw792]

That's a minor 'bug' that is probably more trouble to fix than it's worth. But yes, you are technically right I suppose

 

[Sirroelivan]

Btw, he wants it to be a passive spell (so no mana cost), so there's absolutely no advantage for the attacker to just spam attack.

well thats the point... then its better to use damage detection

 

[jhnam95]

Hmm. If I was trying to make the reverse of this spell, as in entagle when YOU attack. Kind of like bash, but entangling instead of the bonus damage and stun.

 

[polo2005]

and you want what with it? oO

I just changed the attacking unit and the attacked unit. I'm just asking if it's possible to switch them around so that the attacker has the chance to entangle the unit he's attacking.

Thanks jinham95

Umm Ultra don't use jinhm95's trigger. He was making it for himself by changing mine / Sirroe's. The question was answered way up in our posts near the top of the first page.

 

[Ultramen]

umm... kk

It's true about it will be bugged and i think if he attacks be4 he attacks the unit he will be cursed so it might look bad. It isnt much problem i cna post a trigger when i get home but propably someone will allready have fixed it then.
