Avalanche spell - problem

[redblack]

Hi
I based on Frost nova - the spell should work normaly as nova but also should stun the target unit of ability beign cast for 2/3/4 seconds.
Any ideas??

• Untitled Trigger 007
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Frost Nova
  • Actions
    • Set u1 = (Triggering unit)
    • Set u2 = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set l1 = (Position of u2)
    • Unit - Create 1 SpellDummy for Neutral Passive at l1 facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add Storm Bolt (custom) to u3
    • Unit - Set level of Storm Bolt for u3 to (Level of Frost Nova for u1)
    • Unit - Order u3 to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt u2
    • Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to u3

Create a dummy unit, make it have none.mdl model. Set
Art - Animation - Cast backswing to 0
Art - Animation - Cas point to 0

Create custom Strom Bolt, make it cost 0 mana, make it non-hero ability. Add neutral to targets allowed if it isn't there already.

You are missing "Set u3 = (Last Created Unit)"
Also u1 and u2 are clearly unneeded here.

I'm also missing

• Custom Script: calll RemoveLocation(udg_l1)

so all in all it was a great trigger.

Can I ask why you always add spell/ability to dummy units!
Why not to add ability already in object editor?

I can think of only 2 reasons:
1st Maybe a little faster
2nd Because of easy spell importing

 

[GhostThruster]

Because if you have, for example 2 spells based on the same ability normally added to the unit, it can stuff up. Whereas, just leaving the dummy with no spells and adding spells via trigger solves this problem. Also, why do you use u1, u2 and u3(unless for future use, which wouldn't work anyway, because of the need for arrays)? Units don't leak. but variables take up map space.

 

[redblack]

This doesnt work, I made this aand not stunning the target.
the U, U1,U2,U3 are variables without arrays

 

[MortAr]

u3 should be after you've created the dummy.

Use Inferno and edit the ability to your liking in the object editor. If you want an actual nova then use the above suggestions.

For the stun part, why not use a dummy with a Bash ability with 100% chance?
(I think it causes problems with ethereal units though)

I think that's more work than ordering a dummy unit to cast an ability.
