AOE Pause

[saidii89]

Hello
I created a custom AOE spell, I want trigger that whoever is hit by this AOE spell is paused for a specific time

I created such trigger but the problem is it pause who is targeted by the AOE circle middle dot, and not who is hit by the AOE circle, if you get my point

Any help?

Store target point of ability being cast into a variable.

I'm still not sure what the question is. If you want to make sure that the AOE actually his all the units its supposed to, then Maker's answer works. Use Target Point of Ability rather than a real distance. But if its something different you are asking please re-phrase the question.

is this what you want?

Trigger

• Cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to -Test-
  • Actions
    • Set Caster = (Triggering unit)
    • Set Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of Target)
    • Set Group = (Units within 200.00 of TempPoint matching ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of Caster)) Equal to True)))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set TempUnit = (Picked unit)
        • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of Caster) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Add Stun to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt TempUnit
        • Unit - Cause Caster to damage TempUnit, dealing Damage[(Level of -Test- for Caster)] damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Group)

Thanks @Rheiko but I still can't target everyone inside the AOE because I'm using distance rather than target point

I'm new to triggers, can you tell me how can I do this? @Maker @Legal_Ease

EDIT:
No Need Anymore, I created a variable, thank you guys

 

[mikagami]

anyway what pause do u mean? stun paused or pause like Chronosphere ability?


and what do you mean by distance? there are specific spell type u can tell...
- unit target
- target point
- area of effect
and combination of those,
u can see that in channel ability....


if you use distance like point target and u want to pick evryone in that area?
u can set

Set Group = (Units within 200.00 of Targetpointofabilitybeingcast(into var) matching ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of Caster)) Equal to True)))
