Chain Incinerate

[JetFangInferno]

I wanted to make a trigger that, when a unit dies under the incinerate buff, creates a dummy that damages nearby enemies. Basically, evertime a unit dies under the incenerate buff, another explosion appears on the dying unit and damages nearby enemies. The explosion damage is based on 2 dummy units: a half bomb and a full bomb. The full bomb does full damage in a smaller area while the half bomb does half damage in a larger area. My problem is it's not working. Here's what I got so far.

• Bomb
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Dying unit) has buff Incinerate) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set Number[(Level of Incinerate for (Killing unit))] = (Real((Level of Incinerate for (Killing unit))))
    • Set IncineratePoint = (Position of (Dying unit))
    • Set FullBombType[1] = Full Bomb [ 1 ]
    • Set FullBombType[2] = Full Bomb [ 2 ]
    • Set FullBombType[3] = Full Bomb [ 3 ]
    • Set HalfBombType[1] = Half Bomb [ 1 ]
    • Set HalfBombType[2] = Half Bomb [ 2 ]
    • Set HalfBombType[3] = Half Bomb [ 3 ]
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at IncineratePoint using Abilities\Spells\Other\Incinerate\FireLordDeathExplode.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Unit - Create 1 FullBombType[(Level of Incinerate for (Killing unit))] for (Owner of (Killing unit)) at IncineratePoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last restored unit) to Neutral - Slam
    • Unit - Create 1 HalfBombType[(Level of Incinerate for (Killing unit))] for (Owner of (Killing unit)) at IncineratePoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last restored unit) to Neutral - Slam
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_IncineratePoint )

• Bomb
  • Unit - Create 1 FullBombType[(Level of Incinerate for (Killing unit))] for (Owner of (Killing unit)) at IncineratePoint facing Default building facing degrees
  • Unit - Order (Last restored unit) to Neutral - Slam
  • Unit - Create 1 HalfBombType[(Level of Incinerate for (Killing unit))] for (Owner of (Killing unit)) at IncineratePoint facing Default building facing degrees
  • Unit - Order (Last restored unit) to Neutral - Slam

Is your Bomb ability based on neutral Slam spell? If not, i think this wont work...

 

[JetFangInferno]

it is but why won't it work? Using blizzard's damage area trigger is stupid because it damages ALL units including the caster and that's not what I want. What spell would you prefer I based it off of then?

 

[raft_pl]

If its not the matter of ability base, then maybe its WE bug, that makes dying unit events and actions dont work sometimes... (Is there a bug like this? <not sure>)

OR!

Unit - Order (Last restored unit) to Neutral - Slam

Change it to Last Created unit and this should work correctly.

 

[JetFangInferno]

yeah I did that... didn't work >< I changed the ability from neutral slam to kaboom so it does damage correctly and easily. the only problem right now is i want this:

Lets say my hero is Hero A. There are 4enemy units: A, B, C, and D respectively. Hero A has Incinerate and successfully kills unit A. Because of Incinerate, Unit A explodes and does damage to Unit B, C, and D. Next, Hero A kills Unit B with incinerate and the resulting explosion kills B. Units C and D die because of the last explosion. I want the spell to detect when a unit dies by the Incinerate explosion and then creates a chain explosion on all units that die under the explosion. Is this possible in GUI?

 

[Just_Spectating]

this is just incarnate tho. i dont get why you want another explosion to occur.

 

[JetFangInferno]

I want it so that once a unit that dies under the explosion of Incinerate (not the original unit but units SURROUNDING the dying unit), an explosion will occur AGAIN if a nearby unit dies under the original explosion. It's pretty hard to explain.

 

[daw_guy]

Well you could pick every unit in the area around the bombs then make them into a unit group.
Then do something that says if _______ unit dies ... Run the trigger at the point of that dieing unit.
I think simple jass can detect units dieing. I dont know though bc im learning it.

• Blah
• Events
  • A Unit Dies
• Conditions
  • OR
    • Dying Unit has buff incinerate equal to True
    • Dying Unit is in Unit Group Unit_Group equal to True (Boolean)
• Actions
  • Set Point = Positon of Dying Unit
  • Set Unit_Group = All Units withing 225 of Point matching condition, matching unit equal to enemy of owner of killing unit.
  • Pick every Unit in Unit_Group and Damage Picked Unit for X Damage. (Damage Target not Area)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_Point )
  • Wait 0.5 Seconds
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Unit_Group)

Maybe? i dont know if the condition dying unit has buff works.

If not you could do something like

• Blah
• Events
  • A Unit is attacked
• Conditions
  • Level of Ability Incinerate for Attacking Unit > 0
• Actions
  • Set IncUnit = Attacked Unit

Then change the condition from the first trigger

• Blah
• Conditions
  • Dying Unit equal to IncUnit

Note, the incinerate explosion damage in object editor should be 0

 

[JetFangInferno]

I don't think you guys understand. I'm trying to edit Incinerate slightly so that when its explosion kills a unit, the dying unit creates more explosions and any unit that dies resulting from these explosions creates even more. It's basically to kill a large mass of units very quickly.

 

[Haunts]

[Just_Spectating]

yeah, Haunts' answer answers your question.

 

[JetFangInferno]

nope it doesn't work. The explosions are supposed to SPREAD on to nearby dying enemies that have killed by an explosion.

 

[TKF]

You mean like the other units get the incinerate buff which is afflicted by the explosion? Chain reaction?

 

[raft_pl]

Guys, he means that, when one unit is dying under Incinerate buff, it damages all nearby units. And, if damaged unit dies, it explodes too, damaging next units, that die and explode, etc, etc...

 

[Need_O2]

stupid question you changed the buff of slam to incinerate right ?
well sounds like a good spell

 

[JetFangInferno]

@ Need_O2, no. I want a spell that explodes a unit that died under the incinerate explosion...

 

[daw_guy]

Ok try making another buff called Incinerate(min) and have it do everything you want but the only way to get it is with a trigger that damages the area.

 

[JetFangInferno]

what abilitiy would I put this buff on?

 

[Need_O2]

@ Need_O2, no. I want a spell that explodes a unit that died under the incinerate explosion...

>.< you sure you readed my post
If you change the buff type of that stomp ability to incinerate
they will have incinerate buff too so they will explode on death toooooooooo
(and make that duration big and moment speed reduction to 0 so it wont slow them)

 

[JetFangInferno]

are you sure that stomp would give nearby units the incinerate buff? I never tried it though ><

 

[Just_Spectating]

it would however i dont think just because it has the buff it will blow up. you would have to check for the unit with the slam buff and make dummy units to attack it or something to make the unit blow up.

 

[JetFangInferno]

perhaps I could create a dummy slam ability that gives the incinerate dummy buff. next, how will i check if a unit died under the original incinerate explosion?

 

[raft_pl]

Or maybe dummy with negative aura, that gives them Incinerate buff.. :?
