When I use the spell it makes the enemy team invulnerable. Not sure how to fix this.

 

[Chaosium]

What is the base spell? Is it used by a dummy caster?

sorry voodo lounge forgot name was changed

 

[Rugarus]

Anyone know the issue?

The spell I'm using is voodo lounge which makes nearby units/structures invulnerable for the duration. Issue I'm having is the enemies are made invulnerable as well even though they aren't marked as the units allowed.

Hi Rugarus,
By voodoo lounge I assume you meant Big Bad Voodoo, (Voodoo lounge is the orc shop).
The last time you had a problem like this you had a trigger that was effecting the spell so check your triggers.

Yeah no, I disabled that trigger. Spell is firing but look at first post it's making the enemy units affected by the spell as well which I can't have for this game.

 

[Abyssion]

Try adding "Friendly" to the units allowed as well.

 

[Rugarus]

still didn't work, makes other team invuln.

Still isn't working properly.

Hence why we trigger spells.

Makes the other team invulnerable.

 

[Chaosium]

I guess Chaosy meant triggering everything, like picking all friendly buildings in range and making them invulnerable without a spell doing so.

i tried to recreate your problem, but for me it works perfectly fine. are you working with the latest patch or on the PTR?

edit: added wrong test map at first

Edit 2: removed map as updated version is further down

Your ability works, dunno what was wrong with the one I was using. Must of messed with some property.

Ok well it works, but the issue now is I need it to not work on allies. If I uncheck friend it makes the enemy team invulnerable. So I guess I'll have to trigger this. But I have an idea to make every unit within X range invulnerable. But how do I detect if the unit who casted moves. Because normally this ability cancels if the unit moves from a stand still position casting orgin.

 

[Chaosium]

I guess you can add all units in range when the spell is cast into a group, and then periodically check for each unit if the distance with the caster is greater than X, and if so, remove the invulnerability.

 

[Rugarus]

Ok so I did it custom and it's working. My question now is, I removed the buff from the spell I was using: voodo lounge or whatever it is. But yet the spell still gives the invulnerability to the units. How can I remove all the effects of the spell yet keep the ability functioning so that the trigger registers that it casted?

 

[UreDe4D]

it also works only for the player, just use "player-units" (if translated correctly) instead of allied, see attached

 

[Chaosium]

If the buff still shows up, try adding a 0.01 duration instead of 0. Alternatively, you could also try to remove the buff via your trigger.

 

[Marcos_M]

Just put 0.01 AoE to avoid affecting units

 

[Rugarus]

If I make it 0.01 it doesn't fire at all.

Removing the buff still doesn't remove the invulnerability it gives.

why not just use the object editor solution?
