[Trigger] Bouncle Like Spell Help

[-Berz-]

Hello!

I made this trigger(I'm totally lost in it)
It somehow works but it leads to infinity "crate special effect and dummies casting spells"

OK, i based spell on Cluster rockets with arc 0.50 and only one projectile. And dummies gets that ability too.

So i made a few points and order dummies to cast a spell on another point(somesort of chain) than i make special effects, so the spell looks like you throw a ball and than it jumps around...But its not working right..

Now the question, why doesn't this work right? Because of the waits? D:

And tell me if i should attach a map.

Thanks!

Edit:
Ohh i made a typo in the thread name... I meant bounce not bouncle..silly me D:
Edit2:
And if its possible to make this in a loop?

 

[xD.Schurke]

never null globals and arrays!
so lets see what u've got
why 4 diffrent dummys? :O (arrays) think one var is enough... i'm not that good in gui xd in jass it would simpler for me sry ....

 

[GhostWolf]

First off - both of those arrays are not needed.

As to why it's an infinite loop, just look at your event and condition. Every time someone casts Cluster Rockets it fires off, but also your dummies cast Cluster Rockets and then they create more dummies which create more dummies which ... infinity!

And of course it can be done in a loop.

Thanks for that info, but some say null them some say don't...
And dummy is the same only that it have different value. Dunno i thought that so it won't get messed up..

edit:
@Ghostwolf, Omfg..how come that i didn't think of that..Please kill me D:

 

[Xarwin]

Another simple solution would be (its only a guess) adding to the bottom of the triggers:
Turn off this trigger and then Turn on this trigger.

 

[-Berz-]

@Xarwin, i tried that too, but i fucked up with dummies when i gave the same ability so that caused infinity loop, but thanks for response =)

 

[Xarwin]

Oh, I see.
Well, you're welcome!

 

[Rmx]

hey bezerker i made the same abilitie and it has the thunder clap effect too man so who should post it on spell section?????????????????? MINE is bouncing thunder ball that bounces 500 range then 400 then 300 then 200 then 100 then stops bouncing and every bound deals 100 damage soooooo waht's ur idea .. ??

 

[-Berz-]

Well i just tried something, no basic idea...I was just wondering i can make one...But it doesn't work well, so i quit D:

 

[Rmx]

i will post mine soon in my spellpack so if u wish u could look at it heheh !!!

 

[-Berz-]

Sure, I will ^^
Can't wait to see your

Edit:
*off-topic*
Most likely next year xD

 

[Rmx]

hehhe thnx man i will pm soon as i update my map RMX SPELLPACK

 

[Palaslayer]

lol @ rmx

dont promote ur spell here, help him better.
u could give him ur trigger, if u release it anyway...
ur answer just sucks

so you want a throw ball spell based on the cluster rockets spell? how often shall it bounce and shall it do damage in the area where it hits the ground?

 

[-Berz-]

I made it, but i don't need it anymore... i just made it for fun
