All point variables being treated as center of playable map area

[GoGoTauren]

Like the title says. Its absolutely retarded...

If you don't believe me download it. Pick druid as hero and try his lightning spell. No matter where you target everything will happen at the center of the map. I tried using different array indexes, a new point variable but its still stuffed.

have i done something really stupid? or is there some way to fix it? because i don't really feel like starting the map again...

You set the point variable after the wait. Set the point variable and then set the Wait.
I will make you a Jass MUI version, since you want a timer.

Is the wait stuffing it up?

I dont think it can... Try the druid's summoning spell too. It makes the summons at the center of the map.

edit: wow it does work if i set it before the wait. But still... how does the wait stuff it up?
summons still arent working either

It doesn't 'stuff it up', it's just it cannot refer to that point anymore, probably because it is an event response.

 

[GoGoTauren]

fair enough. How about the summons? thats stuffed up if you ask me

Lightning Strike (it responds to the rawcode of your ability)
You just need to create 3 variables:
• L_Hash (Hashtable)
• L_Caster (Unit)
• L_Group (Unit Group)

• Trigger
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
  • Set L_Hash = (Last created hashtable)

function Trig_lightning_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A00E'
endfunction

function Filter1 takes nothing returns boolean
    local unit filt = GetFilterUnit()
    if IsUnitEnemy (filt, GetOwningPlayer(udg_L_Caster)) then
        call UnitDamageTarget (udg_L_Caster, filt, 50, true, false, ATTACK_TYPE_CHAOS, DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL, WEAPON_TYPE_WHOKNOWS)
    endif
    return true
    set filt = null
endfunction

function Timer takes nothing returns nothing
    local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
    local integer id = GetHandleId(t)
    local real x = LoadReal (udg_L_Hash, id, StringHash("x"))
    local real y = LoadReal (udg_L_Hash, id, StringHash("y"))
    local effect sfx 
    call AddSpecialEffect("Doodads\\Cinematic\\Lightningbolt\\Lightningbolt.mdl", x, y)
    call GroupEnumUnitsInRange (udg_L_Group, x, y, 300, Filter (function Filter1))
    set t = null
    call DestroyTimer (t)
    call FlushChildHashtable (udg_L_Hash, id)
    call DestroyEffect (sfx)
endfunction

function Trig_lightning_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local real x = GetSpellTargetX()
    local real y = GetSpellTargetY()
    local timer t = CreateTimer()
    local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
    local real r = GetRandomReal (0, 3)
    set udg_L_Caster = u
    call SaveReal (udg_L_Hash, GetHandleId(t), StringHash("x"), x)
    call SaveReal (udg_L_Hash, GetHandleId(t), StringHash("y"), y)
    call TimerStart (t, r, false, function Timer)
    set u = null
    set t = null
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_lightning takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( t, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( t, Condition( function Trig_lightning_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( t, function Trig_lightning_Actions )
endfunction

For the Call of the Wild, you have an error:

• Set temppoint[0] = (temppoint[0] offset by 100.00 towards (Facing of (Casting unit)) degrees)

You offset the wrong point; it should be temppoint[1] offset by 100.00..

ah lol. I was messing around with all the point references to see if i could fix it before.

Thanks for your effort in the lightning spell, but it only really needs to be a 4 player max mpi spell, which i can make with some locals. but anyways, thanks a lot ^^
