Another MUI Spell Problemo

[GodsHand]

ok so i came back from the dark age and started using hashtables. obviously im no master at so i ran into a problem ive been at all day. im completely stumped! heres the simple bullet system again, all the dummy units move as they should but as soon as one either A. reaches its final distance or B. hits a target, ALL the dummy bullets stop. I based my triggering heavily on the example i recieved earlier and the hashtable tuturial here at the hive.

coz archer_end kills all units in archer group[1] so when one missile finishes then all other missiles will die... here try this

        • Set Archer_Time = (Load 1 of (Key (Temp_Unit[1])) from Hashtables[1])
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions

Use this. Because when you run the Archer end trigger, there is no condition to check if Archer_Time has ended for that particular dummy, so it loop for all dummy and kills it. Also, clear the group, i added inside the code.

        • Set Archer_Time = (Load 1 of (Key (Picked unit)) from Hashtables[1])

I haven't seen the group... I was focused about the fact that they all stop when one missile stops...

Also: Dont run archer's end coz that trigger loops all missiles and kills them...

anyway, here's a new code:

        • Set Archer_Distance = (Load 0 of (Key (Temp_Unit[1])) from Hashtables[1])
        • Set Archer_Time = (Load 1 of (Key (Temp_Unit[1])) from Hashtables[1])
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Archer_Time Greater than 0.00
          • Then - Actions
            • Set TempPoint[1] = (Position of (Temp_Unit[1]))
            • Unit - Move (Temp_Unit[1]) instantly to (TempPoint[1] offset by Archer_Distance towards (Facing of (Temp_Unit[1])) degrees)
            • Set Archer_Group[2] = (Units within 45.00 of TempPoint[1] matching ((((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Picked unit))) Equal to True)))
            • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Archer_Group[2] and do (Actions)

                • Unit - Kill (Temp_Unit[1])
              • Hashtable - Save (Archer_Time - 0.04) as 1 of (Key (Picked unit)) in Hashtables[1]
              • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint[1])

          • Unit Group - Remove (Temp_Unit[1]) from Archer_Group[1]
          • Unit - Kill (Temp_Unit[1])

 

[Maker]

The offset location leaks, you need to set Temp_Loc_2 = Temp_Loc_1 offset by... and then move the unit to Temp_Loc_2.

Also there's some redundant code, clear hashtables, remove from unit group and kill unit. Either remove last three lines, or replace the ones in the unit group loop with "save -1 as 1 of Key(Picked Unit)".

you guys are good haha! thank you so much for all your help. not only does it work but i learned how hashtables work and knowing is half the battle haha +rep for all yay!
