Rpg help!

[Mylkal]

Hullo, im just starting triggers. I was wondering, anyone know how to have an npc speak when you right click on them? Like in the founding of durator?

Also, anyways to make entangle roots an area of affect ability so all units in that area are entangled?

By the way, how do you get a custom avatar? =D

anyone know how to have an npc speak when you right click on them?

As for this one, I can tell you one, but it occurs when you left or right click that unit,

Person1
Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
Player - Player 2 (Blue) Selects a unit
Player - Player 3 (Teal) Selects a unit
Player - Player 4 (Purple) Selects a unit
Player - Player 5 (Yellow) Selects a unit
Player - Player 6 (Orange) Selects a unit
Conditions
(Triggering unit) Equal to Villager (Male) 0017 <gen>
Actions
Game - Display to (Triggering player), at offset (0.00, 0.00) the text: Mesage Goes here

Also, anyways to make entangle roots an area of affect ability so all units in that area are entangled?

Goto the object editor -> abilities -> entangle roots, then right click it and choose create new custom ability and then edit the stats for it at the bottom it says
Stats - Area of effect, and just set that to the range of the area of effect you want it to have for each level.

By the way, how do you get a custom avatar? =D

Go online and search for them Then download it to your computer and in the User CP you goto Edit avatar and then upload the avatar from your comp and there ya go.

Thanks

Thanks man. Do you know how i could get a circle retical thingy? You know, like for summoning the treants?

I don't think i spelled that right

 

[sqrage]

circle retical thingy

[zll7]

I think he mean the icon you get with the "summoning the treants" spell that show the area where you are goin cast at...and its effect

 

[Mylkal]

Help!?

Yay, someone who understands me =D.

Now next time, answer the question please?

Anyone know how to make custom models?

 

[Im_On_56k]

3dsmax, you will need expierance with it to make models. And 3dsmax costs a few hundred $ to buy.

 

[Mylkal]

Thanks

Thanks for the encouragement -_-.

Now will someone please answer the darn question!?!? :banghead:

New batch:
How come everytime i try to make a custom ability the name is always in yellow?
How do i take away auto-cast for bloodlust?
I can't get the stupid tooltip to work. Everytime i wanna use my ablility, it only says the name and mana cost ?
I want to make bloodlust only target self. I put "self" in targets allowed, but it still has the choosing retical. How do i get it so when you click on the ability, it automatically just makes the caster bloodlusted?

Gee, is that what an answer looks like? Please read everyone's post before getting antsy Saves you a little embaressment, me thinks

Alexander

Now, for your new questions (By the way, THESE ARE THE ANSWERS! )

The yellow stuff is probably because you put the name in the "color tooltip" thing. Most tooltips have a letter yellow, to show the hotkey. When you edit the name, if you put the name in the color command, you're whole words going to become yellow.

As for bloodlust, look through the item's list of abilities for one that ISN'T autocast, or targetable. Not 100% sure if it IS there, but if there's even a spell like that, it'll be in the items.

Hope that helps!

 

[Mylkal]

No you fool

No you fool, i meant for the treant circle retical targeting thing. Sheesh.

 

[DM Cross]

Oh, lol. That's just the targeting pointer thing, whatever the hell they call it I'm sure there's some technical term for it. Anyway, it's used for ALL targetable spells. How do you want to "get it"? You mean use it for a spell, or what? Specify please.

Alexander
Oh, and next time watch your words I chose to ignore the tone that time. Don't count on it again.

Have a nice day!

 

[Mylkal]

. Your a strange person Alex.

Anyways, you know when you select call of the wild or something, and the fancy circle thing comes up? ANd anything underit turns a certain color, i'm wondering how you get that into a custom ability without basing it off of call of the wild.

 

[DM Cross]

Yes. Yes I am Thanks!

As far as the ground turning colors, I'm pretty sure that's all effects and stuff. I know the green circle that happens right before Flamestrike is an effect. (At least I think I know it ) Just look around the effects. If you want the one for "Call of the Wild" (What the hell is that? Lol, never heard of that spell before, unless you mean "Force of Nature", perhaps? ) then base a custom effect off of "Call of the Wild" (Whatever the hell that happens to be! )

Anyway, that's just my thoughts

Alexander
Weird? Ce moi?! Noo! ... Well ... Maybe a little

 

[Mylkal]

Sorry

Sorry, i haven't played regular wc3 in a WHILE so i had no idea what the name was.

Yeah, probaly was Force of Nature =D.

Yeah, you know, the targeting retical for flamestrike. I wanna get something like that for entangle roots and make entangle roots an area of affect. Just decrease the damage and time a lil and add more levels.

DO you know how to change it so that you're hero could get exp from creeps past level 5?

Any reconmendations for max hero level in rpg?

[DM Cross]

In Gameplay Constants there's a field for XP percentages for each level (from creeps) The last number is 0, so merely change that to say, 10 or 20 and you'll still get XP

I answered this question (yellow words)
Answered this one too! (NOT autocasting bloodlust)
Did you try editing the tooltip?
Answered this question as well! Wow, you're repeative! (Self only blood lust)

woah ...
========
dont make RPG's when youre starters ... even me quite good i make a RPG 1/100 of the terrian and trigger i got headahce ...
========
RPG can be boring .. dont make any gay cheats
========
With that skill .. dont even TRY to make a RPG ..
========
Go play with triggers with unprotected maps and learn slowly ..... k?

Maybe after 1-2 month you can start your VERY BEAUTIFUL INCREADIBLE map ..

 

[DM Cross]

DaFishy, you can't really judge people based on what they ask here. Some people are good with some things and bad with others. Here's two examples:

SilverHawk, who is a special member, is very good with triggers. However, he's not great at custom abilities, and has asked quite a few simple questions. That doesn't make him bad at maps, just that he needs some practice with abilities.

Me, on the the other hand, is his complete opposite. He can write triggers that give me headaches >.< while I'm very good with custom abilities and can make them fairly easily.

So keep that in mind next time you post to judge someone...

Alexander

 

[Mylkal]

Yeah

Yeah, Alexanders right =D.

And plus, i already played around on an unprotected map. I think i can at least try to make one. ANd plus, it counts as pratice =D.

Stuipd custom ability! I CAN'T TAKE AWAY THE FRICKIN AUTOCAST!!

Curses!

 

[DM Cross]

You couldn't find it in an Item form?

Also, you COULD possibly create a dummy ability, based off, say...Immolation? and use triggers to do the rest of the stuff. But let's try to use that as our last resort, since that's complicated and not a lot of fun, shall we?

Alexander

 

[Mylkal]

Lol

Lol.

Is it possible to add another ability to a spell?

For example, like give whoever has immolation a bonus to attack speed?

Argh, i don't have wc3 right infront of me right now cause im at my mom's house....
