Problems with Ultimate giving in a Custom Spell Map

[ShadourazeR]

I'm working on a custom skills AoS, and I didn't have problems to figure out how to make the normal spells, but when I tried to give ultimates, it just didn't work... it works correctly, but the ability never goes to the unit. See the triggers:

Normal Spells :thup:

• Arcane Bolt
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Storm Bolt (Choose)
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Ability_Level[(((Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) x 1000) + 1)] Less than 6
      • Then - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Food used) Greater than Ability_Level[(((Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) x 1000) + 1)]
          • Then - Actions

So? :banghead:

What is the skill based on and what is the unit your putting the skill on?

this has nothing to do with triggering if the spell itself doesn't pop up on your unit. It has to do with the object editor

[ShadourazeR]

The skill is based on Locust Swarm, there is no reason for it to not show up... anyway, I'll take a look on that link

Looks really confusing.

You got an array that can exceed the limit (I think the limit is 8196)
And you are comparing food to Ability_Level? I dont know what is going on

 

[ShadourazeR]

Ok, I already knew that stuff... I guess that was kinda obvious... anyway, it was usefull, I didn't know I could take out the brush list, that will spare a lot of time from now on.

But I still need the most important thing: a trigger that works ._.

 

[Lightstalker]

What you need to do is read a few tutorials on using the Trigger Editor.

Your trigger makes no sense whatsoever and no one here has any idea as to what you're trying to do.

 

[UndeadDragon]

What are you trying to achieve with your trigger?

 

[ShadourazeR]

Ok, I didn't explain well...
The food used is the ability point counter (instead of using gold, I use food, which its not food, because I changed the game interface.)

Step by Step...

The "Circle of Power" (using a DotA exemple) uses the skill Frost Army(Choose<- sufix), which is a channel based ability. Then it fires the following actions:

If the Hero that is going to receive the ability's level is enough (6/12/18), the trigger moves on, otherwise it says to the player: Not enough level.

If the Hero's player has sufficient ability points (equal to the level of the ability that is going to learn/upgrade), the trigger moves on, otherwise it says to the player: Not enough Ability Points.

Now it goes to the most anoying part:

If the ability is level 0 (the hero doesn't have it yet): then do the following below (Then Actions), if it isnt, it runs he Else Actions.

About the Damage Array, its just a variable used to prevent players from getting more then two abilities of the same kind (in case of the ultimate, just one.)



The whole thing works really fine, but the ability just doesn't show up. If I use it three times (Ultimate has three levels), and I use again the game says that the ability was maxed out, but the ability just doesn't reach the hero.

well...

Forget it, I solved the problem:thup:. That little waiting action was preventing the trigger to do anything. My triggers make sense maybe they are too complex to you
