bomb?

I am making a spell in which we throw a grenade at a location ok when it hits the target it makes explosion i have bot grenade and explosion model can someone type trigger for the explotion part when grenade strikes unit

If your trying to simulate reality (the grenade being thrown realistically, that means it arcs while its on trajectory towards the thrown point), then you'll need a projectile system that supports z offsets, but if not then you could just use a simple projectile system. Which one do you need?

 

[Gogetakao]

the spell is homing when it reaches the target it explodes

 

[chobibo]

Oh, so you're using an ability in the editor right? I don't think its possible to detect a projectile's death when using abilities.

 

[Gogetakao]

i want to in trigger comparing buff if target is stunned play this effect or vice versa

i cannot find it

 

[chobibo]

Using buffs would be inaccurate, unless you don't need the spell to be MUI.

mui?
pls tell me detail i am new with spell trying my hard and my best eager to learn things about spells

IIRC, it means Multi-Unit Instance-able, or maybe I'm wrong lol. In any case, it simply means your spell will work no matter how many times you cast it or how many instances of the spell is currently active.

I'd suggest hitting the tutorial section, since I don't know how MUI is really defined, you're triggering in GUI right? Just wait a bit more, someone will eventually know how to do what you need and help you.

There are qute a few threads about that. Normaly there are:
SUI - Single Unit Instance. The spell/syetem works only for one unit at the same time without causing bugs/side effects. Example: Instant spells ( which all actionas are done in single trigger without waits )

MPI -Multy Player Instance. The spell/system works only once for each player at the same time without causing bugs/side effects. Example: Income system.

MUI - Multy Unit Instance. The spell/system works only once for each unit at the same time without causing bugs/side effects. Example: DoT and Effect-over-time spells.

SUMI - Same Unit <ulty Instance. The spell/system works without buggs or side effects regardless how many of it run for each unit. Exampl: Trap spells ( one unit can have multiple traps and each will work fine ) Spells which have Effect-over-time but the cd ends before the EoT ends so it can have multiple EoT running at the same time.


Now on topic: I think you need this thing for your spell if you are using a spell projectile:

• Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

That will fire the trigger when the projectile hits teh target.

Just a side note, this should be in WEHZ.

On the case, you also needs to know about leaks, they can be dangerous (highly) if not taken properly.

 

[Gogetakao]

a unit starts the effect of an ability then @daffa what actually are leaks?

 

[nedio95]

Basicly "Leaks" are pieces of memory which are used but don't do anything.

There is a very good theread explainign how to avoid and clean them:

If you want more information search for some tutorial about basic coding in teh tutorial section.

Actually, there is a roundabout way to detect when projectile dies (though I am not sure how much efficient) by using Tinker's "Pocket Factory" ability and a dummy.
1) You create a dummy unit (invisible unit which cannot be targeted, does nothing and has Death Type set to "can't raise, does not decay")
2) Base your projectile ability off Pocket Factory spell.
3) Put into "Data - Factory Unit" your dummy unit (instead of the Pocket Factory unit)
4) Set duration to 0.01 seconds.
5) Make a trigger, which detects when the dummy unit dies. When it dies, cause spell effect around the point of triggering unit.

This way you don't need to trigger the projectile and the actual delay between the projectile hitting ground and the spells effect is 0.01 second.
The bad thing is that you create 1 unit each time (and units permanently leak - albeit very little).
