well when i saw the thread title i though something like units within x of hero will fall asleep, from the "aura" but since its like a percent change kind of ability, i think the name should be changed

your code isnt efficient also, you can use math for the SleepPercent if/then/else and cut it down like 75% in size like this

Sleeplord Sleep Aura
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is attacked
    Conditions
        ((Attacked unit) has buff Sleep Aura ) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set SleepLoc = (Position of (Attacked unit))
        Set SleepPercent = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        SleepPercent Less than or equal to (5 * level of Sleep aura for (your hero))
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Create 1 Dummy Sleep Caster for (Owner of (Attacked unit)) at SleepLoc facing Default building facing degrees
                        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Dreadlord - Sleep (Attacking unit)
                        Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
                    Else - Actions
           
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation( udg_SleepLoc )

i did that by hand, but you get what i mean.

Ok..thanks... I wonder if this is a aura balanced enough for melee maps.
(Did I follow all the rules of Submission?)

 

[Ghostwind]

Narcolepsy aura? :thup:

 

[kleinerhauck]

It's a good idea!
I think 'aura' is the proper term here, the thorns aura for example also affects only attacking units.

But you could make it that enemies attacking nearby allied units (not only the hero) will also fall asleep.
You can do that easily by adding a buff and changing it with every spell level (So you can change the percentage without knowing which hero has the ability)

 

[Larcenist]

The SleepPercent variable is totally useless here.

Sleeplord Sleep Aura
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is attacked
    Conditions
        ((Attacked unit) has buff Sleep Aura ) Equal to True
        (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or Equal to (5 x Level of Sleep Aura for <your hero>)
    Actions
        Set SleepLoc = (Position of (Attacked unit))
        Unit - Create 1 Dummy Sleep Caster for (Owner of (Attacked unit)) at SleepLoc facing Default building facing degrees
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Dreadlord - Sleep (Attacking unit)
        Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation( udg_SleepLoc )

Also this line:

        (Random Number between 1 and 100) Less than or Equal to (5 x Level of Sleep Aura for [B]<your hero>[/B]

Makes this to be non-MUI since it requires a variable to store the hero.

Nice spell
Nice Idea
Me like This
+rep ^^

cant they be in sleep for more than 1 sec?

 

[BlackRose]

You can set them to sleep for more then one second, I'm currently updating and making changes to it... Thanks anyway!!

In the loading screen, it only shows:
Narcolepsy Aura - Gives a chance that enemy attackers will fall

It is supposed to show:
Narcolepsy Aura - Gives a chance that enemy attackers will fall asleep.

Anyone know why?

 

[BRUTAL]

i still think "aura" doesnt fit. all auras are like aoe from caster
yours is like a hero passive like evasion, maybe just "narcolepsy" or something, i dont know what that means though

 

[Sirroelivan]

Did you use a comma? That might give problems.

 

[Drunken_God]

Ok..thanks... I wonder if this is a aura balanced enough for melee maps.
(Did I follow all the rules of Submission?)

yes i think you followed the rules
and it doesnt have to be balanced very well (you dont know in which map it will be used)
