Is there a way to add effects to your attacks?

[Biskelion]

Im trying to make a sertain item have a effect that each time a hero attacks it creates a kind of thunderclap effect on the unit its attacking, ive seen this in one rpg and it looked nice, the problem is i dont know how to attach the Thunderclap animation on the units attack. Oh and sorry for making so many posts im just trying to get my map done as quickly as i can so i dont have to say this tomoro

Yes, use this trigger:

Events:
     A unit is attacked.
Conditions:
     (Attacking unit) has item of type <your item> equal to true.
Actions:
     Create <special effect> at (position of (attacked unit))...

Hope that answeres the question.

THANX YOU ROX

(Attacking unit) has item of type <your item> equal to true.

Is this in item compairsens in the conditions? lol ive spent like 20 mineutes trying to find it :banghead:

This is what ive tried:

(Item carried by (Attacking unit) of type (Item-type of (Picked item))) Equal to (Item carried by (Attacking unit) of type DeathB's Sword)

Yes, item-comparison is in the conditions.

Back to the subject i am struggling on how to find the part of the condition in silver hawks trigger code. I was asking if it was the item comparison in conditions (trying to find how to do it) not if it was a condition.

I just need help with that part in Silverhawks condition and my trigger should work.

I appologise brokenX i said it wrong

 

[Regalth]

So the condition is simply to check if the hero has item X? Here's the one I use:
(Item-type of (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type <Item here>)) equal to <Same item here>

Sure, it sort of looks redundant, but it will do the check properly, so who cares how it looks?

 

[Biskelion]

Thanks regalth so basicly it is this?:::

(Item-type of (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type DeathB's Sword)) Equal to DeathB's Sword

It defines the item i see what you mean oh and thanks agine.

 

[AceHart]

Boolean comparison,
Hero - Hero has item of type.

 

[Biskelion]

Yay, finnaly IT works! thanks ace hart you made it much simpler, oh and regalth when i tested the map the way you told me to do the condition it seemed not to work it looks like Boolen compairsen works best just for future reference.
It must be the "triggering unit" or somthing o well thanks anyway for helpin.

Yes acehart, you hit it on the head. I knew there was a much simpler way than the one silverhawk suggested (no insult). I had experimented with item triggers myself when I made my carrier, though when I look back on it now, I understand what you guys meant by orderstrings, lol. Too bad I didnt know it then. Doesn't matter, since I scrapped that map, lol. Anyway, even though it says hero, it will work for any unit of type, as well. So, have fun.
