Need help with a Bear Trap ability!

[maldruzard]

Hey there!

Creating a zombie survival map for me and my friends, and am currently trying to create an item which can be found that summons a bear trap which stuns any enemy heroes that are unfortunate enough to step on them for 3 seconds, makes them bleed for 5 seconds, and makes them visible on the map for 5 seconds to the owner of the trap.

I have tried using the Infernal Stone as a base item that summons a custom Goblin Land Mine, and tried to make a trigger which summons a dummy caster to stun and damage anyone that stands on the trap, but I just can't get it to work. I have very little experience with this sort of thing, and have no idea at all how to get round to the bleed effect, let alone fixing the stun and damage when the trap is activated.

Can anyone assist me? Can give a download of the map if necessary, though it is a very basic testing map just for object/trigger info.

Thanks in advance!

I created a simple trigger.
When you step on it it will entangle you (you can cast spells, but can't move, I didn't use stun)
And after that you will be visible to the owner of the trap for 10 sec.

Also I used random 1 unit. because i thought that only 1 unit can be hit at a time.
If you want change that 1 unit to 99 and then any unit in the aoe of the trap will get hit.

Thank you, this is just what I needed! Just trying to work out how to incorporate it into my map now, genna read up on variables because they confuse me T.T

All you need copy and paste the spells entangling roots, and faerie fire.
Then modify them as you want.
Note: make cooldown and mana cost to 0.
Then set dmg / and other stuff such duration.
After that create 2 buffs. 1 for Faerie fire, and one for Roots.
Check the buffs I did. You can use them.
Then go to warcraft editor and press File > Preferenced , then tick
"Automatically create uknown variables when pasting trigger data"
Go to the trigger editor (my map) copy it.
Open your map and paste it there. You will have all variables and trigger in there.

Thanks for the advice Wish I had known that earlier, I remade every variable myself :L It's all working perfectly now, cheers for the help!
