Order unit to cast Curse on trained unit

[SomeRandomDeleted Dr. Cabbage0]

What is wrong with this trigger?!

• Events
• Unit - A unit finishes training a unit
• Conditions
• (Unit-type of (Trained Unit)) Equal to Footman
• Actions
• Unit - Order Banshee 0078 <gen> to Undead Banshee - Curse Footman

Note, Banshee's ability curse is modified to 99999 range

Still, does not work..

Ok first of all I use this trigger (look at actions - its different)

• UnitIsTrained
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order Banshee 0001 <gen> to Undead Banshee - Curse (Trained unit)

Now we need to make some things sure.
1) Set casting range to maximum
2) Set mana to 0
3) Set cooldown to 0.05
4) Set targets allowed to Air,Ground
5) Make sure that the Banshee has the ability

I tested it for myself - works!

additional: be sure, that the banshee can see the unit (or the whole map)

Can you please post the map so I can have a looksi ?!

I did what you typed there, and still aint working..

additional: be sure, that the banshee can see the unit (or the whole map)

Sight range is only available up to 1800
and black mask + fog is removed

 

[Kercyn]

Remove FoW and Black Mask for the Banshee's owner.

Wondering - I only change that what I said - I don't change something with the fog - just the 5 things. One thing - you need to but the banshee on the map - but I think you get it for your self.

So if it work for me - without every fog changes - maybe you typed something wrong?

Edit: Btw you can change the visible radius over 1800. Hold Shift and double klick. So you can increase the radius up to xxxx

It works now;
"3) Set cooldown to 0.05"

My setting was at 0.01

 

[SomeRandomDeleted Dr. Cabbage0]

1 Problem occured, if I spawn 2 at the same time, the banshee ignores or does not have time to cast curse on the other one, or if they spawn at same time

Seems like 50 % gets cursed .__.''

*Sry for double post*

 

[Kercyn]

Make a banshee dummy? Or set the cooldown to 0.

 

[SomeRandomDeleted Dr. Cabbage0]

Make a banshee dummy? Or set the cooldown to 0.

Cooldown didnt work to change to 0

Dummy didn't work either =/

OK! ^^ now I got a other trigger:

• Curse
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Banshee for Neutral Passive at (Center of (Your Created Rect)) facing (Position of (Trained unit))
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Banshee - Curse (Trained unit)
    • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

1) Create a rect at a place which no one can see in game.
2) Now - if a footmen is trained - a banshee is created - curse the trained unit - and the banshee is removed from game. So for each trained unit a banshee is created and can cast the curse.
3) Neutral passive is ok

4) Jeah my last trigger has the problem - that an ability got still a cooldown even if you set cooldown to 0.5 seconds. So if you cast the curse you need to wait for another curse. This trigger created every time a new banshee with non casted ability so this will work now =)

Dummies must have locust, invulnerability and permanent invisibility with 0.00 seconds fade time. It must work, that's what dummies are for!

• Curse
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Set BansheeLoc at (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Banshee Dummy for <an enemy player of trained unit's owner> at BansheeLoc facing (Position of (Trained unit))
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Banshee - Curse (Trained unit)
    • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_BansheeLoc)

dummies only need locust, makes them untargetable, invurnable and completly invislbe if you have the model file to .mdl or the dummy.mdx model

 

[Adiktuz]

somebody said that dummies with locust can be damaged by triggers..... Even if you set cooldown to 0 it still wont be able to cast the spell because it has a default animation time and cast delay... a normal spell command to a dummy unit will cause it to cast the spell until the normal cast delay/ animation time is finished....

And dummies don't need perm.invi, just set the model to none.mdl or something that is not existent and set the shadow texture to non.

Try it, cast a spell then dont order anything to your unit you will see that the spell icon still has the green border around it for some seconds..

 

[baassee]

units with locust cant be selected by triggers if not set into a variable before they get locust, just set animations to 0

 

[PurplePoot]

somebody said that dummies with locust can be damaged by triggers.....

Yes, but they aren't caught by enumeration other than by player/type so it's a bit of a moot point.

what do you mean with that? I thought that locust dummies can't be either picked nor selected?

 

[SomeRandomDeleted Dr. Cabbage0]

I gave up, sry, but i STILL love to know how to do this

[Kercyn]

So, you tried what we suggested and it doesn't work?

 

[PurplePoot]

Exactly. They can't be enumerated except by OfPlayer and OfType, but people don't tend to use those two for damage spells.

Although I think locusts are probably also invulnerable.

Yes, some gets the curse. and some dont
