[Trigger] Ball Lightning

[marco]

Hey guys, so I was trying to make the "Ball Lightning" Spells from Dota's hero Storm Spirit last night, but the Panda keep rolling to the center of the map no matter where I click the ability target point. Can somebody help me, here is the map and forgive me for bad triggering I am not really good at making trigger spells.

You should use the event SPELL_EFFECT and no one else.

 

[marco]

I changed the event to "unit starts an effect of ability" but its still rolling to the middle

 

[SirNikolas]

Sorry, I don't have the English WE, but in my Editor it's the 4th unit ability event (from 5).

 

[marco]

I fixed it a little bit now, but its still not stopping correctly

heres the fixed verion

 

[Maker]

Don't use wait for this.

Do the distance check in the looping trigger.

 

[marco]

and how do i do distance check?

 

[Maker]

Math - distance between points

 

[marco]

It still doesn't work, but it stopped when i reach the center of the map, idk why but somehow it set the target point to the center of the map

if still dont work upload the map again, if i have time i check if it isnt vjass

 

[marco]

Here's the map, the trigger might not be perfect yet.

 

[shadowvzs]

Set Ball_Lightning_Point3 = (Target point of ability being cast)

somehow this never get value also GetSpellTargetX(), Y and loc is empty or 0 even i use channel ability with point target....

lol i was blind, u paused ur unit in begning the trigger, after u pause ur unit u cant get his spelltarget (weird or no but very damn simple move unit pause to last line in trigger and work flawless)

 

[marco]

it work thank you

 

[marco]

but still, the panda still sometimes turned a little slow and not face the right angle end up not meeting the target point

 

[shadowvzs]

but still, the panda still sometimes turned a little slow and not face the right angle end up not meeting the target point

u tryed on this test map? because i never noticed wrong angle, u can tell me when happen this?

 

[marco]

i have tryed urs but sometimes when i cast the ability right after i csat another one with opposite angle then it would faced the wrong angle

 

[marco]

i have tryed ur map but when i cast the ability right after another one with opposite angle it will face the wrong angle

 

[Maker]

The spell was leaking like a broken drain pipe during a storm. I fixed all the leaks. Pausing/unpausing the unit is not needed I believe.

i have tryed ur map but when i cast the ability right after another one with opposite angle it will face the wrong angle

i cant reproduce that... i tryed alot times still worked well

 

[marco]

it happens when i target it far away on the minimap

 

[shadowvzs]

maybe edit this line

• (Distance between (Position of Ball_Lightning_Ball_Unit) and Ball_Lightning_Point3) Less than or equal to 11.00

to 50, 11 is too small difference

 

[Maker]

If the ball moves at the speed of 10, then 11 is high enough value.

 

[marco]

what should i do then, just change the range to not globe?

 

[marco]

it worked when i add a

• Wait 0.10 second

in front of

• Trigger - Turn on Ball Lightning Loop

 

[marco]

it still doesnt work sometimes, i change the casting range to 9999999 because thats how i want it, and when i target it somewhere on the mini it would faced the wrong angle
