I'm trying to make an item that, when used on a target, increases the target's armor by 2 for 15 seconds. Would be simple, but I can't get autocast abilities to work on items, even after (I think) disabling everything to do with autocast. So, I tried triggering it.

Events:
A unit Begins casting an ability.

Conditions:
Ability being cast equal to Wand of Protection.

Actions:
Add ability (Item Armor Increase (+2)) to (Target of ability being cast)
Wait 15 seconds
Remove ability (Item Armor Increase (+2)) from (Target of ability being cast)

The Wand of Protection ability is a worthless version of Unholy Frenzy, lasts 15 seconds (if that matters), no attack speed increase or health damage.

Theoretically, this should give the armor increase ability, wait 15 seconds, and take it away. The problem is, the second Target of ability being cast doesn't work. In this form, the item increases armor by 2 forever. I found that, by changing the third action to read (Triggering unit), the spell works properly when aimed at the caster, so I'm pretty sure the problem is in the second reference. I can't figure out where to go from here, though. Anyone have any ideas, or know of some ability that I could put on my item? (i.e. how to have Inner Fire as the item's ability)
Thanks!
 
Base the ability off of Frost Armor, set it's duration to 15 seconds, and remove it's art and buffs.
 
Thanks, worked perfectly! I was thinking "Frost Armor is autocast, couldn't work", but there's a non-autocast one, too :rolleyes:
Now, just wondering, why didn't my previous trigger work? Just in case I find something obscure that I need it for.
 
Because Target of Ability Being Cast is a weird variable, and when ANYTHING happens to the target (e.g. being attacked0 they no longer become the target of ability being cast.
 
I know, I know, it hurts man. When I first learned it it pissed me off to. But it's true, and you'll have to set every trigger that waits and does something with an event variable to a global or local variable.

    How often does the Trending Content box refresh?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Also, in the last template there was a seperation between sticky threads and regular threads in the forum
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not sure. It's probably part of a cron job.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hey Ghan, whatever cron job its part of its not running its been the same for days. If it does not work can we remove it?

  • The Helper The Helper:
    LOL! A tweak job!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Mad Lads is new I see it displays original post date
  • The Helper The Helper:
    as long as it changes it is good - it is good now it updated and its new stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity
