Trying to make a defend/divine shield spell

[spelltrouble]

Im trying to make a item based spell using Defend and it does absoultely NOTHING except block the attack, no dmg reduc or ne thing just the block and the divine shield animation. Now what im trying to do is pretty simple.

Holy Shield Lightforge Set
Events
Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Holy Shield-Lightforge Set (item)
Actions
Unit - Make (Triggering unit) Invulnerable
Wait 5.00 game-time seconds
Unit - Make (Triggering unit) Vulnerable

But it wont work!

The defend is a item ability and is on a armor piece item.

Try using "Casting Unit" instead of "triggering unit".

oh

oh i just saw the main problem >.<

cant base a ability is being casted off when you deflect.

can anyone think of or make a better spell for this.

i just want a % for each time someone attacks you, you become invulnerable for # seconds.

 

[the Lumpy]

You could try something like this: (I don't have the editor open)

Events
    Unit is attacked
Conditions
    Unit has [B]Ability[/B]
Actions
    If - Conditions
        (Random number between 1 and 100) is Greater than [B]percent[/B]
    Then - Actions
        Make (Attacked unit) invulnerable
        Wait 5.00 seconds
        Make (Attacked unit) vulnerable

I beleave that if you have it be an item, you sould catch the event "Unit - A unit Uses an item", instead.

hm

i dont see anothing relatively close to "a unit has ability"
lemme look someore im a nub to triggering

> I dont see anothing relatively close to "a unit has ability"

Integer comparison, Unit - level of ability for unit.
With "not equal to 0".

oo man i still dont understand those things much i read tuts and getn othin outta it... anyway....

if i want a 5% chance for it to happen what would i set greater than percent?

>.< and also i never COULD find a percent all there is is random percent if i could even figure that out too i could finish a bunch of my spells.

this way?

(Random integer number between 1 and 100) Greater than 90

10%

 

[AceHart]

(Random number between 1 and 100) is less than or equal to 5


Also, "spelltrouble" is vastly superior to random characters.
Ever considered registering?

Wait 5.00 game-time seconds
Unit - Make (Casting unit) Vulnerable
Unfortunetely theres no way i can make my hero have the divine shield look on him because i cant do cast holy shield cuz it makes trigger not work but o well. ;/ guess everything cant be perfect.

thanks bunch for the help... unless u know how i could add the animation, then i can thank u even more

Look at the Special Effect triggers. You can add a divine shield effect fairly easily.
