Time Control Spell

[Dest]

Okay, I admit. I'm not exactly good at triggers, but only at basic triggers. So I need some help with a spell. Is it possible to do a time control spell in GUI, which that once activated, will slow enemies in an area that increases each level?

For more info, I mean like that when the spell is activated, all enemy units in an area have their movement speed and attack speed reduced while near to the caster. AoE and time is increased at each level.

I'm still looking for a person who have brains at GUI spells, so give me feedback. Thanks!

do u want it to be a chanaling aoe spell??

like the units around the caster have move speed and atk speed decreased

You can try basing the spell off defend or something (I assume that your spell activates/deactivates) and creating a negative-value endurance aura targeting enemies. And then trigger it to add/remove endurance aura when defend is activated/deactivated.

 

[Dinowc]

use a negative endurance aura

every time hero activates the spell, add the aura
when the buff disappears remove it

EDIT: as mentioned before

I guess so.

I'll check the link, as well as thanks for your info.

Thanks for some triggers help, I'll be sure to use them.

EDIT: What is the ability that drains mana if you use it?

 

[dragonhord]

P.S. I wouldn't use a negative endurance aura if you just want slowed movement... I would use the tornado aura that passively slows already... Just designed to do it so no problems would arise... and a spell that drains mana... You could make a negative Brilliance Aura with high values... Mana burn drains mana... and you could always trigger the mana drain...

 

[skyblader]

I think he means how to decrease mana for using the skill. You can try setting the mana cost? Or maybe base it off immolation which has -mana per second, or trigger it to set less mana every second something like set triggering's mana = triggering's mana - 100.

I still am going to use it anyway, I just want to train my hero spell skills. So you're saying that when I activate it, the 'defend' ability, do I trigger to add two auras that the endurance aura effects enemy units and the brilliance to affect self?

 

[skyblader]

The brilliance aura increases ur mana regen, and yeah if thts wad u wan, thts how u add it. 2 auras work fine together. But I believe ur looking for mana decrease for spell use?

One of the poster said to add a negative value to the brilliance aura, so I believe it decreases the mana. I can't be sure.

And, no, I am looking for a spell that once used the mana begins to be used and will stop until it reaches to 0 mana. You know, more of a mana shield that when the mana goes down, the shield is disabled.

Immolation?

 

[Dest]

Immolation?

Oh, I seriously must have thought that. Thank you, sir! +rep

I'll get started on this.

 

[Dest]

I apologize for a double post. Anyway, to the ontopic, I based the spell on Immolation, aura on the endurance aura. I tried the spell and unfortunately it did not work. So I did a bit change to the triggers ( by changing "Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability" to "Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability") and still not working. Any issues?

The triggers are also same as the millzy's post.

I thought I suggest immolation too? Well anyway... The stop ability, I dun think it would work. I dun see any reason other than that, and its only a possibility its because of that, so maybe the negative brilliance aura is a better idea.

Oh. I must have misread. I'm sorry about that, and I'll try the negative brilliance aura.

EDIT: Not working...

Perhaps you could post your current trigger?

Triggers.

[2nd Trigger]

Aura first is the endurance aura, and aura 2 is brilliance.

Edit: Can't forget this:

• Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Melee Game - Use melee time of day (for all players)
    • Melee Game - Limit Heroes to 1 per Hero-type (for all players)

      • Loop - Actions
        • Player - Disable Time Control [Aura] for (Picked player)
        • Player - Disable Time Control [Aura 2] for (Picked player)

I actually copied that from a melee map, but I'm too lazy to make a melee stuff.

 

[dragonhord]

• Multishot Activate
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(immolation))
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Blessed Marksman
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Multishot to (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Set level of Multishot for (Triggering unit) to (Level of Multishot (Real) for (Triggering unit))

• Multishot Deactivate
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(unimmolation))
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Blessed Marksman
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove Multishot from (Triggering unit)

Immolation doesn't work as you are attempting to use it. It works as an order, and another order that turns it off.. You have to trigger them as shown above *just sample triggers, not actually for what you are doing .

 

[Dest]

So you're saying I should make my triggers as that but change the abilities?
