if u can make sense of that good luck, it is not that complicated to see pretty much what it does w/o even knowing any JASs, here is a little help for you though

A086=Hunter in the Night ability
A08E=crippling fear ability
A08C=dummy ability which gives movement speed and chance to miss for crippling fear
S00A-dummy ability which gives the movement speed and attack speed for Hunter in the Night Ability


now for the Darkness ability, there are no triggers needed, just use an ability like the one the NE have that makes it night, and give it the effect of item change time of day, and that should do the trick

i hope this all helped!

 

[WastedSavior]

so theres no way to do it without jass?

 

[Starlite]

im thinking so, unless you get EXTREMELY complex... which would take about 3 days to get the trigger layed out in GUI...

 

[Ruination]

Hmm can't you just make an event for time of day becomes. And then pick all units in map, if unit has night stalker ability level 1, give that unit night stalker buffs level 1. If level 2, give level 2 buffs etc. Seems easy enough to me. Oh and when it becomes night, take them away of course.

Try this with GUI it sounds easy.

 

[Rad]

Stop referring shit to dota!

Just use a game time of day event add the abilities and remove at the opposite time of day.

 

[Starlite]

lol for you GUI might sound easy, and yes rad DOTA SUCKS HORRIBLY!!! (excuse me...) But i would have to think the hole thing through for like ever...

 

[Jazradel]

DotA's awesome. There is no need for the trigger above to be in Jass as all those can be done in the GUI.

 

[emjlr3]

that is from an unprotected DotA map, so its in JASS, that in GUI would be very short, aks someone who knows jass well and they could emulate it in GUI in a matter of minutes

 

[AceHart]

> ... they could emulate it in GUI in a matter of minutes

Well, FWIW, the JASS trigger posted looks like this in GUI (*):

Hunter in the night
    Events
        Unit - A unit Learns a skill
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Blizzard
            Then - Actions
                Unit - Add Banish to (Triggering unit)
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (In-game time of day) Greater than or equal to 6.00
                        (In-game time of day) Less than or equal to 18.00
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Set level of Banish for (Triggering unit) to 5
                    Else - Actions
                        Unit - Set level of Banish for (Triggering unit) to (Level of Blizzard for (Triggering unit))
            Else - Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Flame Strike
            Then - Actions
                Unit - Add Battle Roar to (Triggering unit)
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (In-game time of day) Greater than or equal to 6.00
                        (In-game time of day) Less than or equal to 18.00
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Set level of Battle Roar for (Triggering unit) to 5
                    Else - Actions
                        Unit - Set level of Battle Roar for (Triggering unit) to (Level of Flame Strike for (Triggering unit))
            Else - Actions

That said, I would strongly recommend re-reading posts #5 and #6...



(*) with different unit-types and ability-names...

 

[emjlr3]

alright I am making a Lycan character, who at night gets the buffs and such, and also changes form

now looking at the GUI dota trigger, it dont seam like it would work, only when the unit first learns the skill, not all game, i tried it , and sure enoguh, no dice

so I figure Ill make two triggers, one the checks for each game time, then to add and remove the abilities needed

but here inlies another problem, what if the unit is dead during this time, they wont get the stuff added after they respawn

so im guessing id need a trigger that turned on another at night, which checked every few seconds if the unit had tha abilities, and if not it adds them, that should work fine, then the other trigger thats turns on another that checks every few seconds if the char has the abilities during the day, and removes them

or maybe I could just have 1 trigger that ran every so often, checked the game time, then added/removed abilties accordingly, that sounds even better

now for the changing of the model part, the best thing I can think to do is to add a meta ability, have the unit cast it, so that they change form, but I dont want the ability to show up added on the character, so could I remove it after cast? then when night is over add it again and maybe tell them to uncast it or something, I am a little confused at this part, any help guys?

[AceHart]

For starters:
"matching ((Unit-type of (Picked unit ...", you want "matching unit" there.

 

[emjlr3]

no go, didnt work

 

[AceHart]

The event "every X seconds" doesn't set a "Triggering unit".

 

[emjlr3]

The event "every X seconds" doesn't set a "Triggering unit".

dont think i quite understand, y does there need to be a triggering unit?

 

[AceHart]

Your trigger uses, for example:
Unit - Set level of Werewolf (move & attack) for (Triggering unit) to 4

Now, given that there isn't a "Triggering unit"... it won't do much.
