A fun spell I am trying to make - Solved

Thanks for the help IcemanBo, problems solved.

Why do you use "Facing Of Unit" as parameter. Just replace these facings with 2 reals which are depended on the current index of it's instance.

QQSFsfx1 and QQSFsfx2 are the dummies? Why you change their facing? And it anyway is not instant (even you use 0.00 seconds), so your further action won't be correctly. Thats why you should work with reals.

Other action is ok I think, "offset of 20 towards <increasing/decreasing> real".

Just in case you've forgot: put "Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true" before you create your unit groups, so they get destroyed.

And I know this is very subjective now, but OMG names like "QQSFsfx1" .... I would definitly change the names. :d I had exactly to read the actions that I understood that this variable is the circeling dummy. ^_^

Edit: The trigger streches the site for me. Please put it in hidden tags.

Thanks I didn't clean all the leaks yet because I am having trouble with the movement of the spell. That's the issue, I don't know what to do for the reals to make it circle.

If start spell:

Set Real1[index] = 0
Set Real2[index] = 0

Then in peioridc trigger:

Set Real1[index] = Real1[index] + 5
Set Real2[index] = Real2[index] - 5

Move Dummy1 = Point1 with offset 20 towards Real1[index]
Move Dummy2 = Point2 with offset 20 towards Real2[index]

Hm... Thanks IcemanBo, trying now. Though that does help.. it still doesn't solve my problem.

 

[IcemanBo]

you're welcome. hope didnt forget anything :s

I want the dummy units to move with the caster while moving in a circle.

 

[IcemanBo]

Yes. Point1/2 are locations of Unit1/2.

 

[Tal'Rarity]

=) Moving outwards and inwards while moving with the caster?

EDIT: Though you have a good idea, I shall see what I can do.

 

[IcemanBo]

You want to change the offset of circleing dummy?

 

[Tal'Rarity]

Hm... yup.

EDIT: Got an idea, working on it now.

When start spell:

Set offset1[index] = 20
Set offsetChange1[index] = 3

Set offset2[index] = 20
Set offsetChange2[index] = -3

Periodic trigger:

• Set Real1[index] = Real1[index] + 5
  • If- Conditions
    • (offset1[index] + offsetChange1[index]) > MAX_OFFSET
  • Then - Actions
    • Set offsetChange1[index] = -3
  • Else - Actions
    • If - Conditions
      • (offset1[index] + offsetChange1[index]) < MIN_OFFSET
    • Then - Actions
      • Set offsetChange1[index] = + 3
    • Else - Actions
• Set offset1[index] = offset1[index] + offsetChange1[index]
• Unit - Move Dummy1 to Point1 with offset offset1[index] towards Real1[index]

This example was only for 1 dummy. For second one do same but with Real2 = Real - 5
