Hi all,

I'm trying to create an ability for one of my heroes that randomly increases his attack speed by 20%.

So what I did was create an ability of type behavior and then created a behavior that increases the attack speed. I then created a requirement for the behavior that the learn ability must be greater than or equal to 1 in order to use/show the behavior on the unit. That works fine except the unit has the increased attack speed 100% of the time, so I thought I could create an effect with a lower % chance and put that in for the effect-effect-periodic for the behavior and that it would only have the effect 50% of the time - but that's not the case. It seems to cycle randomly but as soon as the behavior drops off, it never comes back on. I even tried adding the effect on effect-initial and effect-refresh effect, but no matter what I try it won't come back on once it drops off. Can anyone help?

I did set a period of 3 seconds, which is the same as my behavior duration - basically I want the increased attack speed to buff the unit for 3 seconds, drop off, and then randomly reapply itself with some % chance.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

You would have to do something like that:

- Initial Behavior

• Duration: 0
• Period: 3
• Effect Periodic: Apply Attack Speed Buff

- Apply Attack Speed Buff (Effect)

• Behavior: Attack Speed Buff
• Chance: 0.125

- Attack Speed Buff

• Modification: Combat: Attack Speed Multi: 1.2
• Duration: 3

This works fine for me.

So what I said meant nothing?

What you say always means something to me. Hobrow's answer was exactly what I was looking for though :P
