Temporary Cleave

[Zetrix91]

Trying to create an active cleave ability, is there any active cleave ability, another solution is hiding the passive cleave icon. any solutions coming to mind?

GUI very prefered.

ty in advance

EDIT: its supposed to work on multiple player at the same time - not important

no, it is VERY important if you want a good working map.

There's an ability that gives a unit splash damage called Cleaving Attack under neutral hostile in the abilities section.

Well, here's the solution. Base your active ability on anything that you want. Make an ability based on Cleave, which will be your dummy ability. Create another ability based on "Item - Spell Book". Ensure that it is a unit ability. Now, add the Cleave ability in the Spell Book. Then, at map initialization, do this.

• Map Init
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set CleaveAbility <-- Set your Spell Book to this variable
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player - Disable CleaveAbility for (Picked player)

By doing this, it hides the Spell Book icon, but all the passive abilities inside the Spell Book still takes effect. Here's the trigger to make it temporarily active.

• Ability
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to MyAbility
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
    • Custom script: call UnitAddAbility(u, udg_CleaveAbility)
    • Wait for 5.00 seconds <-- Your duration
    • Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(u, udg_CleaveAbility)
    • Custom script: set u = null

on a side note, Triggering Unit is mui itself, so using the local isnt necessary.

okay, so if i just copy paste that and change the variables and stuff, will this be mui? ive heard the "wait" function is not mui, that it sets the function on hold for the duration

also, will this be multi player functional?
