Shock Totems...

I have an idea, however, I need a way to detect when the Tuaren's Pulverize ability procs, I've tried it as an ability being cast but it did not work. Any suggestions?

You gotta trigger pulverize itself in order to detect it.

So you mean I can't detect it as it's happening, it can't be random from the ability? If that's the case I have no clue how to trigger it via triggers. Is that something pretty simple to do?

 

[thorhunter]

Yes, I mean it. The completixy of the trigger varies depending on the outcome you want, whether the ability will be used by single unit or multiple and whether you want it to trigger when attack is started or finished.

You'd probably want to use damage detection to trigger the area damage, to avoid animation-cancel abusing.

Event - Unit takes damage
Conditions - Damaging unit is a Tauren, Damaging unit has Pulverize.
Actions - Pick every unit in 250 range of Tauren, deal damage + other effects.

Hmmm, well what I was looking at trying to accomplish is something I did with the storm hammer ability. That was easy though because its not a random proc so I could just use the attack to trigger it. I made an upgrade called shock hammers that cast chain lightning when the Gryphon attacks. I wanted to do this with forked lightning on the Tauren but only when Pulverize goes off. So basically would need to detect this to create a dummy and have it cast. So yes on multiple units and instances...I suppose when the trigger fires is somewhat important but not that big of deal seeing as I can time my desired affect with wait actions. But preferably just as the pulverize hits would be best. I just don't have a lot of experience with this, so this one is beyond me, and I don't know how to make a random generator except to deal a range of random damage. I'm guessing you would use integers, but I'm not sure.

Sorry I was sitting on this page and failed to refresh it before posting my last post, so I missed your post there Pokemonfreak. Okay, so the only problem with that is that it would proc my ability every time a tauren attacked, and I need it to trigger only when the Pulverize ability goes off.

 

[KaerfNomekop]

That's why I said you should trigger your Pulverize. I forgot to add the chance factor to my trigger outline.

 

[GardenofWar]

Ya, I understand, thanks. I'm new to this and just trying to figure it all out. I wouldn't know how to trigger it, if you wanted to help me though, I would really appreciate this.

Hey, what's the site called? Coming right up.

 

[GardenofWar]

Huh, you mean what site that I didn't refresh? It was this one. I had it open in the background and was working in the editor. When I came back I must have responded without refreshing the page so I missed your reply. Also for helping me with this, thank you very much.

 

[KaerfNomekop]

Guess I forgot about this. Here you go. Hope it works as desired.

And about the site, I was talking about this one
