How to make a hero

[Oloko]

unittype="tree" does not work :/

how do I create my own unittype, or at least where are the unittypes located? and would it be destroyable by fo example Loggers hatchet?

thanks a lot

To create your own uniytype its pretty easy, you only have to add unittype="myunittypename" in your entity file.

Then to add this unittype to the target scheme that can target tree, you need to edit the base.gamemechanic file. Search in all the <targetscheme .../> where you can find "tree" in it and add your unittype there too. The thing I'm not too sure about is that some spell uses destroytrees="true" and <killtrees />. I doubt it would work with those spells. Since Loggers Hatchet uses <killtrees />, I'm not too sure it would work, it would at best let you target the gadget, but the gadget wouldn't die. Otherwise you would need to script every ability that destroy trees to do it via scripting to cut down your gadget too.

This is the best solution I can think of, but it still isn't that great.

Once again, thanks a lot

But that was actually the point


And a last question : Is it possible to spawn a real tree? for example:

<spawnunit name="tree" ... > or something similar ?


thanks dude, your maps have my support

El problem:

First you use the ability and this happens:

	<onimpact>
		<applystate name="State_Jungler_Ability1" duration="8000" target="target_entity" proxy="source_entity" />
	</onimpact>

So far so good, working as intended. But then for the actual state. I've got this in there:

	<onattackeddamageevent>
		<damageeffecttype effecttype="DOT" />
		<else>
			<setvar0 a="damage_attempted" b="0.25" op="mult" />
			<damage target="source_entity" source="" amount="var0" />
			<setvalue name="damage_attempted" a="damage_attempted" b="0.75" op="mult" />
		</else>
	</onattackeddamageevent>

The idea is that you link an allied hero so that you take 25% of the incoming damage against him and he only takes 75%. The part that isn't working is the 25% damage portion. The targeted unit takes 25% less damage so that is all good, but the <damage> line isn't working. I've tried using proxy_entity in the target field but no dice. Source_entity doesn't work either and I very much doubt target_entity would work either (I'll test that but I'm pretty sure it can't work like that).

So how do I make the damage refer to the person using this ability? This_owner_entity? Do I need to use something besides <onattackeddamageevent>?

In my mind there is no problem here yet it does not function.

Im trying to make a spell, but I'm having some trouble with it (not that experienced).
What is the easiest way to lose some charges per second whenever you gain charges on the spell?

I don't think you can spawn trees like that and if you could, I think it might have some strange effect (like trees respawning in the minddle of the lane).
I think there was a discussion about spells using trees in this thread, you might want to search the thread for it.

In my mind there is no problem here yet it does not function.

It is target_entity, you can do <printdebuginfo /> to find out all the entites related to the event when you need to do something like this. Also, you should look at the Barbed Armor (excrutiator) state to do yours, because you probably want to damage the owner of gadgets and entities like that.

Well there is a lot of way to do this depending on how your ability work. It might be a bit complex for someone new to scripting, but you can look at Balphagore's ultimate that looses charge.

The basic idea is to have a state applied to your unit that will do the following:

<state
    name="State_XXX_AbilityX_Removecharges"

    icon="icon.tga"
    ishidden="true"
    impactinterval="1000"
    
    effecttype=""
>
    <onimpact>
            <removecharge entity="this_spawner_entity" />
    </onimpact>
</state> 

The thing here is that the state remove a charge to the ability every second, so if you gained a charge 0.001 sec before the state impact interval started, you would loose your charge instantly. So you will have to call this state as soon as you gain a charge and probably makes it stop when it reaches 0 charges.

You have a scripting error here first. When thing doesn't work like that, you can try removing the ishidden on your state to see if it does spawn or add some <printdebuginfo /> to see if certain part of your code trigger.

You can't put scripts outside of an "event", so your condition part that add the state wouldn't work. Since you only want the state to start when you have charges you can do the following:

<ability
    
    name="Ability_Yrrac2"

    icon="icon.tga"
    
    maxlevel="4"
    requiredlevel="1,3,5,7"

        </condition>
    </ondamaged>
            
</ability> 

I also removed the duration and set the flag continuous to true, since you want the state to be applied until you have no charges left. So we will leave it to the state to remove itself when there is no charges remaining.

<state
    name="State_Removecharges"

    icon="icon.tga"
    ishidden="true"
    impactinterval="1000"
    
    effecttype=""
>
    <onimpact>
        <addcharges entity="this_proxy_entity" count="0" />
        <condition test="result gt 1">
            <removecharge entity="this_proxy_entity" />
        </condition>
        <else>
            <removecharge entity="this_proxy_entity" />
            <expire />
        </else>
    </onimpact>

</state> 

I use here a <addcharges ... /> that adds 0 charges because it is the only way to know how many charges another entity has by obtaining the result of the operation. So if the result is greater than 0, we need to keep removing charges, otherwise we will expire the state since there is no more need for it.

I think this would work, I don't have the time to test it myself, but if there is something not working I'll try it out.
Also I would recommend you to change the name of your state to something more specific to your hero, since you might end up having another hero with the same state name but with other effects.

Edit: fixed script errors.

(Thanks Oloko, your tips already helped me a lot)

Alright, my hero has an ability wich kills a tree (or a fake tree wich I added to the targetsheme) and spawns a gadget on its location.

    <onimpact>
        <killtrees />
        <kill target="target_entity" source="source_entity" />
        <spawnunit name="Gadget_RulerOfNaturetreeheal" count="1" target="target_position"/>    
    </onimpact> 

This perfectly works if I use it on a real tree. However If I use it on one of my fake trees It kills the (fake)tree as intended and spawns the gadget somewhere NEXT to its position. I just can't figure out why it does not spawn it right on the targets position.

Fake tree:

(Thanks Oloko, your tips already helped me a lot)

Alright, my hero has an ability wich kills a tree (or a fake tree wich I added to the targetsheme) and spawns a gadget on its location.

    <onimpact>
        <killtrees />
        <kill target="target_entity" source="source_entity" />
        <spawnunit name="Gadget_RulerOfNaturetreeheal" count="1" target="target_position"/>    
    </onimpact> 

This perfectly works if I use it on a real tree. However If I use it on one of my fake trees It kills the (fake)tree as intended and spawns the gadget somewhere NEXT to its position. I just can't figure out why it does not spawn it right on the targets position.

what do I write to make an item that spawns trees but with a "nothing around it" radius that only includes cliffs and other pathblocking entities? please and thank you to anyone who answers.

edit: I also want it to be able to be placed in the floor and spawn a tree and respawn it if destroyed or used and of course to be able to be picked up when the player left clicks it if possible.

I don't think you can spawn trees like that and if you could, I think it might have some strange effect (like trees respawning in the minddle of the lane).

So no, you can't spawn trees. But If you browse through the code I posted 2 posts above you'll find out how to create fake trees (basically a gadget with a tree model). You also have to create a new unittype and add it to the base.gamemechanics file targetsheme.

I did it like that.

<targetscheme name="trees" allow="tree,faketree" restrict="corpse"/>

Hope I could help you
