Requirement spell - ??

[Aqkastik]

I would like to make a spell that requires that some spell is casted before you can you use the really spell ? could someone help me with that? xD

If the previous spell has a buff, you can Dummy the ability.

Make an ability that does nothing, base it of rejuvenation, for example. Then make it so you can cast it on your enemies. When you cast this spell check if the unit has the required buff or not. If it has, create a dummy unit and order it to cast the spell, if not, nothing happens.

If the first ability doesn't give a buff, then it's a bit more complicated i think x)

Well an easy method would only make it MPI but...
Create a trigger than upon your first triggers cast enables a Boolean Array.
When your second spell is cast check if this boolean is true, if so, set it to false.

If the previous spell has a buff, you can Dummy the ability.

You just gave me an idea!
When the first ability is casted, add a spellbook (disabled) to the hero.
Check if the hero has this spellbook when the second ability is casted, if so, remove the spellbook.

you could use this map Life Tap by skyblade333 & N(O.O)B
and the first spell will make the "You Must Have Less Than 20% Mana" dummy that you must change the name of this btw look carefully at the Lifetap and at the dummy it have requirements
so this is the way it work
1.first spell is casted
2.create the dummy for the player that need to cast the second spell
3.second spell can be casted
4.second spell is casted
5.the dummy is removed
6.second spell is unavaible because the player don't have an unit of "You Must Have Less Than 20% Mana" type.
and with this you will have an nice text in the second spell that say "You must have <first spell> casted

could you make an example xD??

What he's saying is that you make the spell have a 'Requirement', in form of a unit, that unit is a dummy unit that is created when you cast the first spell. You might want to add an expiration timer (timed life) to the dummy. Name the dummy unit '(FIRSTSPELL) Cast', this will display;

Requirements
- First Spell Cast

When you cast your second spell, remove the dummy unit, thus disabling the ability and shows the DISBTN icon (the dark, faded out one).

Doesn't disabling the spell make it totally disappear from the unit?

 

[avalya]

No, it's actually not disabled, but in fact it doesn't meet the requirements since you don't have the dummy unit that enables it anymore, thus it is pseudo-disabled.

 

[RangerX]

it's exactly like when you try to cast some spells that require upgrades here it require that dummy unit

 

[Ayanami]

Oh, you meant the Techtree - Requirement thing. I thought you meant "Player - Disable/Enable Ability"

 

[avalya]

Then I'd say disable and not requirement.

But yeah, I get what you're saying.
