Illusion Passive

[zaqer50]

How would you make a skill that say there's a 15% chance to make an image
everytime <unit> attacks?

 

[Grurf]

With a trigger like this:

Events
    Unit - A unit Is attacked
Conditions
    (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to [YourUnit]
Actions
    Set [RandomIntegerVariable] = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)
    If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        If - Conditions
            Or - Any (Conditions) are true
                Conditions
                    [RandomIntegerVariable] Less than or Equal to 15
        Then - Actions
            Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Orc Blademaster - Mirror Image
        Else - Actions

Why do you check every integer from 1 to 15? Just check:

If RandomIntegerVariable <= 15

Much less code that way haha.

Actually theres a much better way to do this.
Base your ability off something called 'Orb of Lightning'(maybe its lightning orb) and just edit it slightly.

What exactly do you mean? I don't think an orb of lightning is able to create an illusion.

Oh and Laika. I was too sleepy to seek for that ZZz...

hey gruf
wouldnt the hero need to know a skill to actually have the ability to create an image when attacked, i mean i wouldnt want the hero to be able to do that without learning the ability

 

[dArKzEr0]

If you want it based off of an ability, just say so in the condition.

"Level of ability for unit = X" or however it goes (don't have WEU open).

//Edit:

Now I do have it open... it's:
(Level of ABILITY for (Attacking unit)) Equal to X

 

[Jazradel]

Orb of Lightning is very useful ability. It is basically a chance on attack orb effect. The default ability has a 15% chance to cast purge when it attacks a unit. That can easily be modified to create images.

And yes for the other method you would have to have the ability on the hero. Search for a old file I uploaded call Winds Whisper. It has a chance on attack to windwalk but A: it doesn't work(i know why though) and B: the hero has to have the ability windwalk.

 

[dArKzEr0]

The problem with basing it off of Lightning Orb is that the ability would then take up his orb slot, would it not?

[Jazradel]

Yes as is seen in DotA(maelstrom, silencer's ulti and geminate attack) but it's a lot easier then doing anything else..

And you don't have to have the ability on your hero or add it with triggers.

 

[dArKzEr0]

Well, I'm pretty sure Guinsoo (or Frog or whomever is making DotA now) used triggers to add "Juxtapose" which is essentially exactly what the original poster was asking about, because it doesn't use the orb effect and you see a buff indicator on the hero who has the ability. I say go with the triggers to avoid problems.

Comon dude, just cause juxtapose is cool theres no reason to copy it. Please try to think of something yourself. You just sort of get a problem if you copy DotA abilities. The problem is, that when somebody plays your map theyre just going to think.

'Yawn, nothing new, this guy just copied DotA. What a wannabe.'

Just a warning dude, not trying to flame you.

Also you couldve made the subject
'how did DotA make juxtapose?' lol.

 

[dArKzEr0]

Hah, we ought to have a forum titled "All DotA spells explained here". That way, nobody would ever post.

[Dipski]

maybe zager50 hasn't played DotA

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Remember if you go with an orb ability, orb abilities don't stack.

 

[dArKzEr0]

Heh, I beat Ryoko to an observation I feel honored.

how would you make an Illusion skill for the Dota 3.7 for ROC? like when u click the button it shoots out like 8 to 10 other illusions in a circular area with with the caster poping out at a random point so it looks like this
C=Caster I=image
C or I
C or I C or I
C or I C or I

C or I C or I

C or I C or I
C or I

or somthing like that i checked Dota 3.6 and its the Stealth Assassin's Fade technique any ideas?

 

[Durka]

the C or I things supposed to be a circle didnt work damn forum
