[Solved] Target Point of Ability Beeing Cast returns the wrong location

Shoto · Feb 8, 2013

My Trigger
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
- Conditions
  - (Ability being cast) Equal to My Ability
- Actions
  - Set TempPoint = (Target point of ability being cast)
  - Cinematic - Ping minimap for (All players) at TempPoint for 1.00 seconds

I cast at one point, it pings halfway across the map, in the wrong direction.
The ability is based on Inferno. I use "finishes casting" because i want the trigger to execute when the infernal lands.

you should test what coordinates returns finishes casting an ability first, I think it may be null for that event but Im not sure(I know GetSpellTargetUnit() will return null with this event)

i have no Jass experience, so i don't know how to do that... But if it's true that it returns null, then how would i go about creating a trigger that executes when the infernal lands?
"A unit starts the effects of an ability" would need a delay of 1,5 seconds... but it needs to be MUI :/

how you print it is basically use the same event and put in Game - print message (Integer to string(X of point(Target point of ability being cast))) for player 1 - red ...
and the same for Y, if it is 0, 0 or if it didnt even print you are getting invalid values

you could still save the point to some hashtable or w/e and load it when the unit finishes casting using key(Triggering Unit)

Fix'd it by storing point during "starts the effect". Thanks for the help

yeah only with start effect and begin casting/channeling give back the casted spell id, rest can't give back because the ability already shout since unknow time

The spell id is there, target point of ability being cast doesn't exist for Finishes casting.
