Stun

[0rcL0rd]

Hi,

Im creating a TD, and i want to have a tower wich can stun a unit for 3 seconds.

I tryed to do it this way but it failed :
Ability : Bash (Neutral Hostile 1)
Targets Allowed : Ground

And in the Ability itself :
Change to Bash : 100
Damage Bonus : 0
Never Miss : True
Stats - Duration - Normal : 3
Targets Allowed : Ground


Am i doing something wrong here?

Bash does not work for ranged units

You could change the tower's Combat - Weapon Type to "Normal" instead of "Missile", but then the projectile will dissappear

you have 2 possibilities :

1. using a spell (ranged) with a stun function in it (like the rock throwing of the golem)....whether its triggered then to be casted sometimes or casted manually is your choice....also whether it has a model etc...

2. trigger it...make a dummy unit give it the bash ability...create it at the position of the unit that shall be stunned and order the dummy to attack....make sure it has no damage and 100% bash chance...

Its easier to give the tower a ranged "melee" attack and trigger an animation for the attack instead.

If a projectile is desperately required, make a constant dummy unit with the ranged stun spell at the position of the tower, casting the spell (which has the same speed as the tower's attack) immediately whenever the tower attacks.

A note on this is to decide whether the stun should work on magic immune units or not. If it should, then Bash is required, and once again none of the options enables the stun to appear exactly when the projectile hits (at least not in GUI)

Sure it does.

Hard to say - I made an ability matching your post and it worked fine on a Blood Mage. What are the attack stats for your tower?

I think, as the tower is auto attacking it might not be triggering the bash ability, as only targeted attacks on most % chance vanilla abilities will fire. ie) orb of slow does not fie on auto but on targetted attacks only.

ie) orb of slow does not fie on auto but on targetted attacks only.

As you say, it is true for Orb of Slow and Orb of Lightning, but Bash and Critical Strike (and Pulverize, I think) will occur even for units that are auto-attacking.

Try and set the damage bonus to 1.
