use units - issue order targeting a point

• Create a custom ability without a target (Preferably Channel).
• Create a dummy unit with locust ability and blank to all stats.
• Create the 'dummy' shockwave for your dummy unit (be sure to make the mana cost, casting time, and cooldown to 0).
• Create a trigger like this:
  
  Hidden

  • Shockwave
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Shockwave (Instant)
    • Actions
      • Set Temp_Unit = (Triggering unit)
      • Set Temp_Player = (Owner of Temp_Unit)
      • Set Temp_Point = (Position of Temp_Unit)
      • Set Temp_Point2 = (Temp_Point offset by (Facing of Temp_Unit) towards (Facing of Temp_Unit) degrees)
      • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for Temp_Player at Temp_Point facing Default building facing degrees
      • Set Temp_Dummy = (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to Temp_Dummy
      • Unit - Add Shockwave (Custom) to Temp_Dummy
      • Unit - Order Temp_Dummy to Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave Temp_Point2
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_Temp_Point )
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_Temp_Point2 )
      • Custom script: set udg_Temp_Point = null
      • Custom script: set udg_Temp_Point2 = null
      • Custom script: set udg_Temp_Unit = null
      • Custom script: set udg_Temp_Dummy = null
• Done.

Test map is attached if you're confuse.

instead of using custom script to null temp unit and temp dummy just use the GUI action to set them to no unit.

it works but it cast sideways no matter wht direction the unit is,it still cast sideways..lol

Because he creates the dummy unit facing the default building facing degrees. You need to create the dummy facing the Hero's facing angle.

EDIT: Temp_Point2 is also unnecessary I think. You could just order the dummy to use shockwave at the Hero's position and it'll work normally.

I did a quick fix on UndeadImmortal's map.

You accidentally set this wrong

• Set Temp_Point2 = (Temp_Point offset by (Facing of Temp_Unit)towards 0.00 degrees

Nah, the dummy can always turn to face the desired angle

 

[sniper_zero]

Lol, you type fast Doomlord. I was editing my post when you replied. Anyway, why not just create the dummy at Temp_Point facing the Hero's facing angle and order it to use shockwave at Temp_Point as well? You can make do without Temp_Point2 then. Or is there an advantage to having Temp_Point2 that I'm missing?

Nah I didn't think that far. I just fix up the wrong thing in UI's trigger ^^

Well, as the old saying goes, every way leads to Rome.

 

[Adiktuz]

use Temp_Point2 for fool-proofing...

[Tazer]

Dammit! theres a problem again,when i cast da abilites in my custom map it create reincarantion shit stuff?WTF,lol,,i copied dummy,abilites,trigger,variable...so..wht cause it?

 

[UndeadImmortal]

It is probably your map, have you checked the abilities? Maybe the spell id are overriding the other spell.

@Doomlord, oh sry, didn't noticed xD

well i have 2 other custom shockwave in my map....hmhm could be,if it clash with this showckwave then wht do i do?

 

[sniper_zero]

If you just copy pasted the trigger then some values could be wrong. You should make sure the trigger in your map is exactly the same as the one in the test map. Or since you have two other shockwaves, maybe they're all in the same unit?

 

[Daffa]

Make sure you copy and paste the trigger with create unknown variables when pasting trigger data is on, then set the spell on the condition and on the action, they possibly might get overlapped by other abilities like UndeadImmortal said.
