[Trigger] Cinematic Fire Help please.

ominitsu · Jan 30, 2008

Ok, I'm making my first map and I'm trying to make it pretty good. I'm trying to get the Cinematic spell up but its giving me two problems.
1st. I'm trying to make it have an are of damage of the camera but it keeps hurting everything on the map.
2nd. For some reason the fly ability does not work.
Down below will be the trigger. Thanks ahead of time for the help.

Anything?
Hmm, well I would like the help if someone knows how.

GhostWolf · Jan 31, 2008

Im too lazy to read all that.
However, from the few first lines I saw, you leak... A LOT.
If you don't know what are leaks or don't know how to remove them... hmm... I don't know any tutorial for GUI :/
Just go to the sticky thread "Things That Leak" then.

Now if you want further help (keep this tip to the future too), explain what exacly you are trying to do and what is happening/not happening.
We cannot know what you are doing by you saying you are trying to make "Cinematic spell".

ominitsu · Jan 31, 2008

No, i'm taking the spell from this site but ill go read the Leak post later. I don't have much time tonight. Thanks for the post.

....

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Current camera bounds) matching ((Matching unit) Not equal to (Triggering unit))) and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

This picks every unit in the camera bounds which is why it hurts everything except the caster.
I also don't advise

Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) - (Real(random_damage)))

because it won't give bounty if bounty is enabled. Instead, you could make it

Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing (Random real number between 500.00 and 1000.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Fire

ominitsu · Jan 31, 2008

Thanks for the advise.
but no the problem is,
It kills EVERYTHING.
Not just whats in the camera.

GhostWolf · Feb 1, 2008

Camera bounds are a x and y coordinates that you can move your camera to.
They are NOT what you see on the screen.

Couldn't find anything of use, I do remember there was such a thing though.

Anyway, good night.

[Edit] Maybe you can use this "GetCameraEyePositionLoc", then create a region based on that location and pick every one in it and damage.
If you don't know how to do it ill help you when ill be back.

[Trigger] Cinematic Fire Help please.
