[huntere15]

Sorry if the solution is obvious or this question was newby but i've been trying to figure out this spell for a while.
solved
The spell is called huntdown and this is it's description

Targets an enemy unit revealing it and making the doom tracker charge towards it. The enemy Unit takes 40 damage per second until the doom tracker catches the target. Upon catching it the target takes 10% of it's maxumum hp and creates a Demon if it dies.
it's based on shadowsight
Here are the triggers

people that will help you want to know exactly what is the problem

 

[Storyyeller]

In the caught trigger, you aren't checking who the target was attacked by.

Also, I can't figure out what the purpose of the Dummy Run trigger is. Why are you moving the dummy?

 

[huntere15]

I just wanted to keep it near the target and thanks for pointing that out in the caught trigger.

edit: oh maybe the dummy run is the problem too?

 

[FriXionX]

Well the dummy run looks broken... he wont run towards them, every 0.08 seconds he will teleport to the target... you need an offset if you want them to move gradually.
use "move unit and face point instantly"

• Unit - Move HuntDownCaster instantly to ((Position of HuntDownCaster) offset by 15[change this as you like] towards (Facing of HuntdownCaster) degrees), facing (Position of HuntedTarget)

That should do it, but im not sure what else is wrong, because you didnt explain what is the bug.

 

[huntere15]

it just wasn't working thats all but now thanks to you guys it works

Position of HuntDownCaster leaks, first assign this to a variable eg. TempLoc then remove it with:

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)

 

[Vulcano]

i know its offtopic but does it leak when you don't remove TempLoc and just overwrite it next time you set TempLoc?

EDIT: I didn't believed peeton , so i tested it but he was correct:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 200, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set tempPoint = (Random point in (Playable map area))

this dropped my fps from 60 to 10 in 1 minute.

 

[Peetoon]

Yes, it will leak if you don't remove TempLoc. On a side note, why post a random question on another thread you didn't start? XD
