Spell Question

[Arie]

Well, a spell just went into my mind. I want every fifth time the unit attacks, the unit sends out a shockwave.

Is it like this?

5th shockwave
    Events
        Unit - A unit is attacked
    Conditions
        Attacking unit has buff (Whatever it is) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set Attack_Count = (Attack_Count + 1)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                Attack_Count Equal to 5
            Then - Actions
                
            I know what should be inserted in here.

            Else - Actions
                Do nothing

Thanks for helping!! +rep for helper

That's pretty much right, except that you should remember that the "Unit is Attacked" event triggers before any damage is actually dealt, so it can be exploited (such as the hero attacking his own unit or an ally then canceling before it does damage, to charge up the shockwave).

I'd explain it more and ways around it but I've got to go, later

yeah

After doing you actions remember to set your Count to 0.
And remove that do nothing.

BUT I THINK THIS IS MORE EFFICIENT:

If (All Conditions are True), the do (Then Actions), else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        Attack Count equal to 5
    Then
        Your actions
        Set Attack Count = 0
    Else
        Set Attack Count = Attack Count + 1

BUT I THINK THIS IS MORE EFFICIENT:

If (All Conditions are True), the do (Then Actions), else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        Attack Count equal to 5
    Then
        Your actions
        Set Attack Count = 0
    Else
        Set Attack Count = Attack Count + 1

It realy doesn't matter I guess...

still i find it more efficient
