[Solved] Bug when using Jump System [Paladon]

[Unregret]

I try to apply this system: Jump System [Paladon] - for an auto-cast spell (Curse).

Normally, it will work if we manually cast the spell but will not work if we let a unit auto-casting it. The unit just simply fly off to the center of the map. I guess the auto-cast spells cannot detect "Target point of ability being cast" thus switch it backs to default location?

Are you sure the ability is being cast at all? because I do not think it is possible to make a spell like blink or flamestrike auto cast, at least not through the object editor.
You'd need an AI for t hat.

Yes, I'm sure it is auto-casted because it is based on Curse ability, with sample setting from Paladon system. I try to use my units to attack an enemy (these units has the spell) while the custom spell is activated and they just fly away, unless when we cast the spell manually.

I am amazed that actually works.
Still, can you post the trigger of the spell?

function Trig_Leap_Assault_Copy_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A13S' ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_Leap_Assault_Copy_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    set udg_JDA_JumpHigh_Distance = ( 0.33 * I2R(GetUnitAbilityLevelSwapped(GetSpellAbilityId(), GetTriggerUnit())) )
    set udg_JDA_DestroyTrees_Dash = false
    set udg_JDA_Collusion = false
    set udg_JDA_TargetPoint = GetSpellTargetLoc()
    set udg_JDA_Unit = GetTriggerUnit()
    set udg_JDA_Speed = 30.00
    set udg_JDA_SpecialEffect = "Abilities\\Weapons\\FaerieDragonMissile\\FaerieDragonMissile.mdl"
    set udg_JDA_Animation = "walk"
    set udg_JDA_AnimationSpeed = 0.60
    call ConditionalTriggerExecute( gg_trg_Jump_System_1 )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Leap_Assault_Copy takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Leap_Assault_Copy = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Leap_Assault_Copy, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Leap_Assault_Copy, Condition( function Trig_Leap_Assault_Copy_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Leap_Assault_Copy, function Trig_Leap_Assault_Copy_Actions )
endfunction

AS you see, I change only spell ID based on Paladon system.

Curse is a unit-target spell. "Target point of ability being cast" would return null, making the coordinates 0,0 (the center of the map).

Also just use [code=jass][/code] tags, not [code][/code].

 

[Chaosy]

I was thinking that too, but he says it works if he presses it manually.

 

[KILLCIDE]

Woops I missed that. Could you post a sample map?

 

[Unregret]

Here it is.

Okay so my intuition was right. Manually casting the spell gives you the right coordinates, but autocasting returns a null value, so it sends the unit to the center of the map (0, 0).

So is there a solution to this? If not, maybe I just skip this away and use another thing instead

Edit: I change the setting to "Position of Target Unit of Ability Being Cast" and it works flawlessly. Thanks, guy anyway. +rep.

Yeah i was going to suggest though.
