[Trigger] Auto "random" AOE Heal

[Deliverance]

Good evening (it's evening in my country )

I wanted to make the ability that works like this:

When casted it will add 50 HP to a random unit in a 300 AOE every 1 seconds for 5 seconds.
It should heal 1,5 (rounded) units per level of the ability.

That means:

On level 1 it heals 2 units per second for 5 seconds.
On level 2 it heals 3 units per second for 5 seconds.
On level 3 it heals 5 units per second for 5 seconds.
On level 4 it heals 6 units per second for 5 seconds.

And so on.

I really tried my best but the trigger i made doesn't work AT ALL.

Hope you can help me !

Do you want to pick random units and then heal that unit for 5 seconds? or do you want each second/each tick to heal random units?

Each second/each tick a random unit should be healed by 50.

Thanks for the advise, but as I said, i allready tried to make this spell but it just didn't work. I don't need the whole spell just a few hints how it would be triggered would be enough.

I could publish the trigger I made right now, if that's needed.

this does belong in here since he is asking how to do it.

this would help it is a simple spell tho

edit: here ya go
you have to change the no unit to the unit u want.

Well, I partially disagree
"In this forum you may ask for help on fixing a trigger or script. But if you need help getting started with a trigger, this is not the right place"
but he wrote that he did try to trigger this spell but failed and asked people to do it, and he didn't provide the trigger to fix it
But no matter.

----
Anyway, the only problem I had when I tried to create the ability myself is calculating number of units.

As he wrote in his original post, he wants it to affect units in this fashion:
[ability level] * 1,5 = amount of affected units (round up the number if it's not an integer)

oops i didnt notice this was triggers and scripts lol i thought it was in world editor so ur right. as for the lvls ill have to add it into my post. i already made him a trigger in the post above

the post i made was only for healing random units once this will require slightly more work although i should have it done in 10 min at most

I don't think you have it right.

He wants number of units affected to be [spell lvl]*1,5, while you calculate number of units as [spell lvl] + 1.
So 1*1,5 = 1,5 => 2
2*1,5 = 3
3*1,5 = 4,5 => 5
4*1,5 = 6

I also think he doesn't want the same random units to be healed over 5 seconds, but to pick random units every second and heal them.

Something like this:

• Triggers
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of Caster)
    • Set NumberOfUnits = ((Real((Level of Ability for Caster))) x 1.50)
    • Set TempInteger = (Integer(NumberOfUnits))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • NumberOfUnits Not equal to (Real(TempInteger))
      • Then - Actions
        • Set NumberOfUnits = ((Real(TempInteger)) + 1.00)
      • Else - Actions
    • Set TempGroup = (Units within 312.00 of TempPoint matching ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of Caster)) Equal to True)))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random (Integer(NumberOfUnits)) units from TempGroup) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) + 50.00)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)
    • Custom script: set udg_TempGroup = null
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
    • Custom script: set udg_TempPoint = null

He would need to set "Caster" variable in initial trigger when a unit starts the ability.
(Also this is not MUI)

 

[deathismyfriend]

ya mine does not give desired units he would have to make another array and store those values and call them when needed which isnt hard. urs also does not last the desired 5 seconds and isnt mui. mine does both.

mine is MUI

he can change that value so it comes out to the units he wants.

he also asked # of units for 5 seconds. if its just purely random then my first post is the way to go

 

[Nichilus]

Is there a better way to round up the number, except doing it like me with the ITE action?
I know converting real to integer rounds the number down, but I'd like to know if there is an action/equation for rounding up.

 

[deathismyfriend]

not that ik of. i try to avoid rounding and instead use equations to decide the numbers i want

 

[Deliverance]

Here's the trigger I made (I have much too learn I guess ).

• Enchant
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Enchant
  • Actions
    • Set EnchantCaster = (Casting unit)
    • Set EnchantLevel = (Level of Enchant for EnchantCaster)
    • If (EnchantLevel Equal to 1) then do (Set EnchantCounter = 2) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (EnchantLevel Equal to 2) then do (Set EnchantCounter = 3) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (EnchantLevel Equal to 3) then do (Set EnchantCounter = 5) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (EnchantLevel Equal to 4) then do (Set EnchantCounter = 6) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (EnchantLevel Equal to 5) then do (Set EnchantCounter = 8) else do (Do nothing)
    • Trigger - Turn on EnchantRotat <gen>
    • Wait 5.50 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off EnchantRotat <gen>

• EnchantRotat
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set EnchantPoint = (Position of EnchantCaster)
    • Set EnchantGroup = (Units within 300.00 of EnchantPoint matching ((((Picked unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and ((((Picked unit) is An Ancient) Equal to False) and ((((Picked unit) is dead) Equal to False) and ((((Owner of (Picked unit)) is an ally of (Owner of EnchantCas
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to EnchantCounter, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set EnchantHeal[(Integer A)] = (Random unit from EnchantGroup)
        • Unit - Set life of EnchantHeal[(Integer A)] to ((Life of EnchantHeal[(Integer A)]) + 50.00)
        • Set EnchantHeal[(Integer A)] = No unit

Doesn't work.

I'll try your triggers, they don't have to be MUI btw.

Sorry for posting in the wrong section, if I did!

 

[deathismyfriend]

they do have to be mui because of how u want them to work otherwise it will only attack 2 random units each second.

 

[themerion]

Why it's not working

Units in Group matching ... doesn't use (Picked Unit). Matching uses (Matching Unit).


Other stuff

Use "Event - Starts effect of ability". If you use "Begins" and units have casting animations, they can cancel the spell before it is cast, but the trigger will run anyway.


Leak cleaning

You create a point and a group, and you seem to be aware of doing so (you point variables to them). All that remains is destroying them when you are done with them.

• Actions
  • Set EnchantPoint = (Position of EnchantCaster)
  • Set EnchantGroup = (Units within 300.00 of EnchantPoint matching ((((Picked unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and ((((Picked unit) is An Ancient) Equal to False) and ((((Picked unit) is dead) Equal to False) and ((((Owner of (Picked unit)) is an ally of (Owner of EnchantCas
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to EnchantCounter, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set EnchantHeal[(Integer A)] = (Random unit from EnchantGroup)
      • Unit - Set life of EnchantHeal[(Integer A)] to ((Life of EnchantHeal[(Integer A)]) + 50.00)
  • Custom script - call RemoveLocation(udg_EnchantPoint)
  • Custom script - call DestroyGroup(udg_EnchantGroup)
