[Trigger] Another spell

[Destroyer95]

I saw a spell inside a turorial and i wanted to try and make my own spell. But it doesn't work.

Here's the spell:

• Rage Cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Rage
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local unit udg_Caster
    • Custom script: local effect udg_Effect1
    • Custom script: local effect udg_Effect2
    • Custom script: local effect udg_Effect3
    • Set Caster = (Triggering unit)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the weapon of Caster using Abilities\Spells\Orc\TrollBerserk\HeadhunterWEAPONSLeft.mdl
    • Set Effect1 = (Last created special effect)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of Caster using Abilities\Spells\Other\Drain\DrainTarget.mdl
    • Set Effect2 = (Last created special effect)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of Caster using Abilities\Weapons\NecromancerMissile\NecromancerMissile.mdl
    • Set Effect3 = (Last created special effect)
    • Unit - Add Rage Life to Caster
    • Unit - Add Rage Speed to Caster
    • Unit - Add Rage Damage to Caster
    • Unit - Add Rage Drain to Caster
    • Wait 20.00 seconds
    • Special Effect - Destroy Effect1
    • Special Effect - Destroy Effect2
    • Special Effect - Destroy Effect3
    • Unit - Remove Rage Damage from Caster
    • Unit - Remove Rage Life from Caster
    • Unit - Remove Rage Drain from Caster
    • Unit - Remove Rage Speed from Caster

The caster is supposed to gain a few skills like life drain, attack speed and damage bonus and a negative life regen. Can someone tell me what did i do wrong?

Thx in advance thumbs_up:

Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability; Replace it with Unit - A unit Finishes or Begins casting an ability.

 

[Just_Spectating]

probably start the effect of an ability would be better

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Depends on base ability.

 

[Just_Spectating]

its usually the best pick though.

 

[Destroyer95]

I tried all of those but it didn't work...so at the end i tried to make it like in the turorial (it was beggins channeling) and it still didn't work. The effect on the weapon appears, but nothing more happens.

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

I agree, though it sometimes bugs with channel (point targeted) and Target Point of Ability Being Cast...

well, if the trigger was firing, then the abilities would be added on the the unit, so perhaps there is something about the abilities that wouldn't be added to the hero?

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Let's just wait the Event change testing.

 

[Just_Spectating]

o.o?

he just said he tried them all...

 

[Destroyer95]

I actualy did try to make these bonuses again and see if i made a mistake somewhere. Didn't work. But the first time i tried it, the hero got an attack speed bonus for like 1 sec.

 

[Just_Spectating]

does your hero have enough space for 4 abilities?

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Mwwh, sorry I didn't see it.

Then, there must be a problem with those spells. Maybe your spells don't have correct targets allowed or something...

You could attach an example map as I don't really see anything wrong (maybe I'm just tired)

 

[Destroyer95]

Attached a map.

 

[Just_Spectating]

those abilities arent hero abilities thats why.


you'd want to use auras, like vampiric aura, command aura, and unholy aura
and probably hiddin inside a disabled spell book so that it doesn't give you a massive load of ability icons on your hero

 

[Destroyer95]

It worked fine before....and it worked for 1 sec the first time i tried it :O

 

[Just_Spectating]

yeah and now it doesnt work.

so its so much easier to have an ability that Always works right?

its not much work.

 

[Destroyer95]

Tried making them hero abilities....doesn't work

 

[Just_Spectating]

no not just switching the tab to hero..

you have to create new abilities, based on the hero auras.

 

[Squiggy]

Further, get rid of the usage of sfx, variables and locals.
Just make an ability which adds the sfx for 20 seconds and use (Triggering Unit) instead of the variable.
Also, remove the 'wait' ^.^

 

[Just_Spectating]

you could probably make this spell more efficient with dummy units.

 

[Destroyer95]

I made it again with hero abilities (auras) and it still doesn't work :O

You bugged the function.
Basically each function only supports 1 local with the same name as a global. Anymore causes serious and major errors. You used clearly more than 1 thus serious and major errors occured so it did not work.

Upgrade to full JASS and use propperly local locals, or use the new hashtable natives (available in GUI in the newest beta patch or future patch) to store the values onto a unit and then recall them later.

Also use gametime wait (polledwait) not TriggerSleepAction wait as polledwait maintains some form of real time accuracy unlike TriggerSleepAction (even though it uses it as well).
