Why my unit moved to center of playable map?

[userid907]

I've create blink spell that gives damage to nearby enemy unit before caster is moved after the animation complete, the damage work but my caster moved to center of map, not to target point. i dont know why

• Untitled Trigger 005
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finisheh casting ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to (Boa) Poison Trail
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 300.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
    • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Target point of ability being cast)

if i use start the effect of an ability, the caster will instantly moved (work to target point) but dont play the animation
and when i use finishes casting an ability or stop casting an ability the caster moved after the animation complete but it moved to center of map
dont worry about the leaks.

Could you please post the trigger as well?

There is no (Target point) if you're using the event "Finishes casting an ability". You will need to use a loop that starts on cast so that you can store the location of the targeted point and then move them after the "animation duration" is reached.


So if your animation time is 5 seconds:

Cast Events Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability Conditions (Ability being cast) Equal to Your ability Actions Set Caster = (Triggering unit) Set Target = (Target point of ability being cast) Set Counter = 0.00 Trigger - Turn on Loop <gen>

Loop Events Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time Conditions Actions Set Counter = (Counter + 1.00) If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions Counter Greater than or equal to 5.00 Then - Actions Unit - Move Caster instantly to Target Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Target) Trigger - Turn off Loop <gen> Else - Actions

I'm not sure what makes it move to the center of the map but you should use start the effect of an ability. Input the art duration so your unit will do its animation while waiting for the follow through time.

And also don't forget to destroy the leaks.

"A unit Finisheh an ability" 0.o

At least on the event that we do know (Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability), the data of the target is lost.
So the location created from the targeted coordinates is created on (0, 0)... which is ussually the center of the map.

What you could do is add a casting time in the ability you are casting... then using another event that we know (Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability).
Then it would work properly.

I don't think that's MUI

It's not. However, I didn't find the need to add that to the explanation since it's not relevant.

emm, how to make that mui?

Usually,I found people using Integer or Unit Group to make a trigger MUI.

Using Spell System gives you access to the target point even from a "spell finish" event.

• Spell Config
  • Events
    • Map Initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Spell__Ability = (Boa) Poison Trail
    • Set Spell__Trigger_OnFinish = Spell Cast <gen>
    • Trigger - Run Spell System <gen> (ignoring conditions)

• Spell Finish
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Spell__InRangePoint = Spell__CastPoint
    • Set Spell__InRange = 300.00
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Spell__InRangeGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Cause Spell__Caster to damage (Picked unit), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
    • Unit - Move Spell__Caster instantly to Spell__TargetPoint

MUI, has no leaks and only picks enemy vulnerable units to be damaged.
