Different abilities in day and night

[Varoze]

Well, just as the title states.

I need help triggering a unit to get different abilities on different times of the day.
Now, that wouldn't normally be a problem, but my problem is that when night falls, it gets the rank 1 of the ability, regardless of the fact that it was level 5 before nightfall!

So, could anyone help me out here?

(Yes, it's kinda a rip-off of the Night Stalker's ability in DotA )

Use the rawcode of the ability, not the abilities name.

[Varoze]

Uhm... Sorry, but I don't even know what that is I'm kinda new to WC3 map modding

[Arabidnun]

I'd say use the

Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 12.00

This uses the 24 hour clock, so configure it using that knowledge

Um... that doesn't solve anything.
When it gives the ability, it gives it back as level 1.

Instead of using rawcodes, because you don't know how.
Make it based on levels, using If/then functions.

[Arabidnun]

Blah blah blah, set Day_Integer = Level of X ability

Set the Integer(Day or Night)
If/then/else
Condition:
-Unit alive blah blah
-Unit not illusion blah blah
Then:
-Remove Day Ability
-Add Night ability
-Set night ability = Day Integer

Do the same thing, but with night

Thank you, Arabidnun, it works now
Well... sortof... When it turns night, it says that I can train the day version of the ability again, from lvl 1... Any ideas as to how to fix that?
Well, thanks alot for the help anyway

[Arabidnun]

Did you do add Night Ability
Then Set Night ability to Day_Integer Level?

[Varoze]

Yeah, I did, but it still shows up as learnable skills at night :/ Oh well, it doesn't really matter

But now, I have a problem with another triggered spell I made.
The spell itself is just blink, the hero teleports to a point specified, and the trigger should make the hero invulnerable, then do (Skill level · 200) damage in a 200 radius.
The trigger is currently sometimes working on ONE unit, and looks like this:

Spoiler:

Code: Select all

Blinding Speed
Events
- Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
Conditions
- (Ability being cast) Equal to Blinding Speed
Actions
- Unit - Make (Casting unit) Invulnerable
- Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage circular area after 0.50 seconds of radius 200.00 at (Position of (Casting unit)), dealing (Blinding_Speed_Real x 200.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
- Wait 1.00 seconds
- Unit - Make (Casting unit) Vulnerable

Now, I can't find any error in that trigger... Am I just stupid for not seeing it?

Oh, and the set variable trigger looks like this:

Spoiler:

Code: Select all

Blinding Speed Var
Events
- Unit - A unit Learns a skill
Conditions
- (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Blinding Speed
Actions
- Set Blinding_Speed = (Learned skill level)
- Set Blinding_Speed_Real = (Real(Blinding_Speed))

Please help me

EDIT: Actually, it looks like I just need to increase the time between spellcast and doing damage, since it seems to be doing damage at the point I blinked from, not the point I targeted... I'll try this, and tell you if it worked

EDIT2: Nope, that didn't help... I'm really confused, it should work, shouldn't it...?

EDIT3: Oh! I fixed it! I changed the - Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage circular area after 0.50 seconds of radius 200.00 at (Position of (Casting unit)), dealing (Blinding_Speed_Real x 200.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
into
- Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage circular area after 0.50 seconds of radius 200.00 at (Target point of ability being cast), dealing (Blinding_Speed_Real x 200.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
That seems to have fixed it Well, I'll probably be asking more questions here, since I just started my map ^^

Problem #1) The Blink Spell

Spoiler:

Code: Select all

Spell Blink
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Blink (Neutral)
    Actions
        Wait 0.50 seconds
        Unit - Make (Casting unit) Invulnerable
        Unit - Pause (Casting unit)
        Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage circular area after 0.50 seconds of radius 500.00 at (Position of (Casting unit)), dealing ((Real((Level of Blink (Neutral) for (Casting unit)))) x 200.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
        Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Casting unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Orc\AncestralSpirit\AncestralSpiritCaster.mdl
        Wait 1.00 seconds
        Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        Unit - Make (Casting unit) Vulnerable
        Unit - Unpause (Casting unit)

Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage circular area after 0.50 seconds of radius 500.00 at (Position of (Casting unit)), dealing ((Real((Level of Blink (Neutral) for (Casting unit)))) x 200.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
Special Effect - Create a special

Highlighted in red is where you problem lies, This trigger will work, because it multiplies the level of ability being cast(Blink in this case) times a constant value which gives it more damage, the more expereinced the hero, the more damage will accure.

Problem #2) I will edit with fix, currently busy atm
