Rapid Killing and a few small questions.

[hopy]

Main question:
I had a spell Rapid Killing, but I changed it a bit because there were some problems with the previous version, but now it doesn't work anymore.

Allows the Archer to fire 2 extra arrows on each attack with an elemental bonus. |n - Fire deals 10% more damage. |n - Ice has 20% more ranged and a 0.5 second shorter Cool Down. |n - Nature can hit an aditional target.

The problem is: it doesn't do anything when attacking...

• Rapid Killing Attack
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacking unit) has buff Rapid Killing ) Equal to True
  • Actions

    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point)

Rapid_Killing[Interger] is an abiltiy variable set in a different trigger.
Unit_Group and Unit_Group2 are Unit Group variables.
Point is a Point.

The reason I had to use 3 if/else: Every arrow (intreger) has a different effect. (One more target, more AoE etc).

Also I had a few smaller questions, shouldn't take to long to awnser I hope.
- Question 1: Custom Script.
I had a piece of Cusom script in my map that didn't want to work:

• Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Town_Halls[(Player_number_of_(Owner_of_(Triggering_unit)))])

I was wondering: How am I supposed to destroy the right Unit Group array?

- Question 2: Dialog buttons. - Fixed Thanks.
I have a few dialogs in my game that allow player 1 to set some options at the start of the map.

For each Dialog I use different Dialog Menu's, but the same buttons with an array for each button.

• Events
  • Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for Dialog_Mode
  • Conditions
    • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to DialogButton[1]
  • Actions
    • Dialog - Clear Dialog_Difficulty
    • Dialog - Change the title of Dialog_Difficulty to Difficulty:
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Dialog_Difficulty labelled |cff008B00Very Easy...
    • Set DialogButton[1] = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Dialog_Difficulty labelled |cff00CD00Easy|r
    • Set DialogButton[2] = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Dialog_Difficulty labelled |cffFFD700Normal|r
    • Dialog - Show Dialog_Difficulty for Dialog_Player

Would using the same buttons for each Dialog menu cause problems? Because if not there's something else that's causing problems and I'd have to search for that again. xD

- Question 3: Ability unlearn. - Fixed Thanks.
I was planning on creating a Tome that unlearns all your abilities when used so you can spend your ability points again in a different way in case you've made a mestake.
Now I was planning on doing this using "Set ability level of ability to 0" but it turns out you can't select 0 in that menu...
How can I create a tome that sets all hero ability levels to 0.

- Question 4: Item ideas. - Fixed Thanks.
I'm looking for 2 fun Voodoo Item ideas. Let me know if you have any.
And I"m also looking for a few Naga item ideas.

- Question 5: Upgrade names.
I'm horrible with names and I haven't been able to think of any fun names for a few things.
- A speed upgrade for Nerubian workers.
- A building that produces DragonHawk Riders and War Wagons.

+Rep for any usefull help, sollutions, advise and ideas.
Thanks in advance.

Whit trigger i can't help you.

but with Questions i hope to help.

Q3: Ability unlearn
A3:
1. In object editor>Items>Purchasable>Tome of Retraining ( the problem is you have to buy the tome to use it ) but you can make it notpurchasable by editing:
2. " Stats - Can Be Sold By Merchants " if it's True make it False
3. make False " Stats - Can Be Sold To Merchants and Stats - Can be Dropped "
4. edit " Stats - Classifications - Purchasable to Stats - Classifications Artifact "
5. " make Stats - Gold Cost how much you want Default is 300 "
6. next you must do is " Stats - Use Automatically when Acquired - True ( Default is False ) ( that will make your tome item when bought automatically unlearns all spells )

" If you want to make other item do Retrain you must do this : " Abilites - Abilities must be Tome of Retraining , next change Stats - Cooldown Group - Tome of Retraining and do rest of the thinks i wrote from point 1-6 "

Q4: Item voodoo ideas
A4: Don't have any for now

Q5: Upgrade Names
A5: 1.Speed name: Furios steps or Boots of Prometheus or Scroll of Prometheus ( if you want to make scroll )
2. Building name: Fallen Angels
3. Agi: Book of accuracy or Tome of accuracy
4. Str: Book of Strongness, Tome of Strongness, Tome of Vertebration Book of Vertebration
5. Int: Tome of Brain, etc. if you make own item and don't know how to name it send me Massage and if i have time i'll name items, heroes, spells, etc.

That's all from me

I hope i help little bit.

 

[hopy]

First of all thank you very much for your reply.

1. In object editor>Items>Purchasable>Tome of Retraining ( the problem is you have to buy the tome to use it ) but you can make it notpurchasable by editing:
2. " Stats - Can Be Sold By Merchants " if it's True make it False
3. make False " Stats - Can Be Sold To Merchants and Stats - Can be Dropped "
4. edit " Stats - Classifications - Purchasable to Stats - Classifications Artifact "
5. " make Stats - Gold Cost how much you want Default is 300 "
6. next you must do is " Stats - Use Automatically when Acquired - True ( Default is False ) ( that will make your tome item when bought automatically unlearns all spells )

Ah, thank you. I had no idea there was already an item that did this. I thought I had to trigger the whole thing myself.

A5: 1.Speed name: Furios steps or Boots of Prometheus or Scroll of Prometheus ( if you want to make scroll )

Sorry, I was looking for a Nerubian upgrade, so I was looking for something a bit more spidery.

2. Building name: Fallen Angels

I'm very sorry again, but I don't think that fits realy well with a building that trains Dragonhawk Riders. Thanks though.

I hope i help little bit.

Yep, you have. Thanks and +rep for ye.

First, what is this line doing as the second last actions ?

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

#1: You mean, how to get the (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) in Jass ?

It looks like this:

GetConvertedPlayerId( GetOwningPlayer( GetTriggerUnit() ) )

#2: Yes, you need to have a seperate variable for every Dialog Button for every Dialog

#3: This tome already exists... Tome of Retraining

#4: Hmm, well some obvious ones:
Voodoo Doll: Allows the user to take control of a unit for a moment, and do only one action to that unit (As like cast a single spell or attack a unit once or something :S XD)
Voodoo Mask: Gives the Hero a slight increase of mana regen and creates a small voodoo doll to follow the owner, attack nearby units (Although weak attacks )

Both will need some triggering, and the last one might be kinda hard :S

#5: By "speed" you mean harvesting speed or movement speed ?
Either way, maybe something with "Rapid" or "Swift" in it... Sorry, imagination isn't my strong point XD

First, what is this line doing as the second last actions ?

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

Ehm... I have no idea... <,< I guess it's part of the old version that I forgot to remove.

#1: You mean, how to get the (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) in Jass ?

It looks like this:

GetConvertedPlayerId( GetOwningPlayer( GetTriggerUnit() ) )

Would this work?:

• Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Town_Halls[GetConvertedPlayerId( GetOwningPlayer( GetTriggerUnit() ) ))

[/QUOTE]

#2: Yes, you need to have a seperate variable for every Dialog Button for every Dialog

That's to bad, although it does save me from having to search for other causes of the problem.

#3: This tome already exists... Tome of Retraining

Yes, Shady already told me that.

#4: Hmm, well some obvious ones:
Voodoo Doll: Allows the user to take control of a unit for a moment, and do only one action to that unit (As like cast a single spell or attack a unit once or something :S XD)
Voodoo Mask: Gives the Hero a slight increase of mana regen and creates a small voodoo doll to follow the owner, attack nearby units (Although weak attacks )

Thanks, I especialy like the second idea. I'll see if I can create that.

#5: By "speed" you mean harvesting speed or movement speed ?
Either way, maybe something with "Rapid" or "Swift" in it... Sorry, imagination isn't my strong point XD

Movement speed. Swift... movement? xD

 

[Komaqtion]

• Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Town_Halls[GetConvertedPlayerId( GetOwningPlayer( GetTriggerUnit() ) ] )

There

Movement speed. Swift... movement? xD

Doesn't sound very cool... XD
Swift Crawling ? (Do spiders crawl :S XD)

I dunno
As said, no imagination XD

 

[hopy]

• Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Town_Halls[GetConvertedPlayerId( GetOwningPlayer( GetTriggerUnit() ) ] )

I see.

Doesn't sound very cool... XD
Swift Crawling ? (Do spiders crawl :S XD)

No, I don't think it qualifies as crawling.
But yea.. this is exactly the reason why I can't think of a nice name for this upgrade.

- Question 4: Item ideas. - Fixed Thanks.
I'm looking for 2 fun Voodoo Item ideas. Let me know if you have any.
And I"m also looking for a few Naga item ideas.

- Question 5: Upgrade names.
I'm horrible with names and I haven't been able to think of any fun names for a few things.
- A speed upgrade for Nerubian workers.
- A building that produces DragonHawk Riders and War Wagons.

And i'm back again .
1. So, you want Item ideas based on voodoo.Well,
1.1. Voodoo Blade: cause Cleave attack to 150 yards also destroy mana ( item based on triggers with spell mana burn and Cleave attack ). Powerfull item that can be used in melee battles and destroy everythink around the unit,causes id% Cleave attack ( how much cleave attack you put your item ), burns ** Mana. Lasts 5-20 seconds( how much mana you want to burn item ) ( This is destription ). This item must be castable to be more interesting.If you want make it with 2 or 3 times recipe update. If you want i'll make you sample trigger with cleave attack and mana burn, but you must do your rest thinks.
1.2. Voodoo Meteor: 10-20% chance to summon 1 Inferno to fight for you ( for **seconds or until inferno dies ). ( example: damage:20-30, health:200-300, Armor: 3,4,5 or 6 Type Armor: Fortified, Attack range: 100, cuz infernos are powerfull creatures)

2. Naga item ideas. Well,
2.1. Summon Naga Guard: Summon 1 Naga Guard to fight for you.Lasts 30 seconds. Has Resistant Skin, Holy Light ( cooldown 15 seconds ) . ( example: damage:20-30 chaos, Armor:2 or 3 Armor Type: Medium, health: 350-400, Attack range: 128 )
2.2. Water Burrow: Gives you ability to hide in water. Lasts 5 seconds. ( if you have water in your map of course )
2.3. Naga Shell: Give 60-100% resistant from spells and attacks. Lasts 3-7 seconds.
2.4. Essence of Naga Queen: Health/Mana regen based on Str/Int ( 1/5 of total STR/INT be regenerated to caster. ). ( If you want make 2 items, first name " Essence of Naga Queen ( Regenerates 1/5 of total INT to Mana to the caster ) " , second " Sword of Death Naga Souls ( Regenerates 1/5 of total STR to Health to the caster ) " , and make trigger to combine these items ( 1/4 or 2/5 of total STR and INT regenerates Health and Mana to caster).

3. Looking for nerubian speed update. Well,
3.1. Legs of Ants
3.2. Curse of fallen bugs: Gives 2,3,4 or 5% movement speed of nearby units.
3.3. Killer bees: Summon 2 or 3 invisible invulnerable bugs to give speed aura of nearby units in 30 yards. Lasts 20-30 seconds.

4. Buildings ideas. Don't have any


Hope i give better ideas from my last post.

 

[0WN3D]

Hornets Haste
Nimble Aracanichs(unsure about the spelling for the spelling of thr familyof spiders)
