Circle Deplacement & Damages when ennemi enter/escape area.

Vladadamm · Sep 25, 2011

So, I tried to make a spell like this :

Spell Effects : Hero target an area. Then, if an ennemi escape or enter the area, he will get damaged. Spell will end after 5seconds.

Special Effects (visuals) : Hero target an area. 18dummys are created around the area. These dummyes will turn around the area center. Dummyes will die after 5seconds.

Now this is the problem :

1. Dummyes aren't turning around the area center.
2. If an ennemi escape or enter the area, he isn't damaged.

I highly recomment you to do it in jass, as i can just imagine it to be a pain doing it in GUI...

You make a timer when the ability kicks in.
This timer picks all units around the caster (removes the caster from this group)
damages all units every 0.5 seconds and checks if the group is the same as before.
If its not, then it picks the missing unit and deals it additional damage.

Jo that the theory, and its doable

Vladadamm · Sep 25, 2011

I don't know anything in jass, and i won't map in jass.

And you don't understand what i want do. I don't want dps, but damages only when ennemi exit/enter the area.

In a way, as the LoL's Veigar's Event Horizon with damages instead of stun and with turning dummyes around the area.

Another Bump. I need correct this bug fast ^^

alfalfa · Sep 27, 2011

For each (Integer A) from CdL_Index2 to CdL_Index, do (Actions)

whats the CdL_Index2 ?

it seems fine to me only possiblity i could think of right now is that it doesnt loop through all the indicies , can that be?

Vladadamm · Sep 27, 2011

Index and Index2 are the two index for the multi-instanciability.

Index = number of spells casts
Index2 = number of finished spells

alfalfa · Sep 27, 2011

ok i understand the trigger now, but i duno why it doesnt work yet^^ it seems fine to me
they are not turning and no damage, this means the loop is not working?
maybe it somehow gets deactivated, how about disableing all functions which disable the trigger just in case mb

Probably because the triggers are in a foreign language is why you aren't getting expedient assistance with this one.

And please Equal do not recommend JASS to GUI users try to keep JASS in the JASS threads and GUI in the GUI threads, becuase anything JASS can do so can GUI just at worst needs a little custom script.

I can make a traduction of french words on my triggers for make them easier to understand. (to note that the GUI balise don't take "é", "è", "à" and this don't help for undestand)

EDIT : Traduction done. I think it will help you.

Vladadamm · Sep 29, 2011

Bump.

Tirlititi · Sep 30, 2011

Set CdL_Group[CdL_Index] = (Units within 300.00 of CdL_Point[(Integer A)] matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of CdL_Caster[(Integer A)])) Equal In TRUE))

This.

You are using Integer A.

Vladadamm · Sep 30, 2011

Thx, but dummyes aren't still turning and enemies still don't take any damages if they escape/enter the area.

Tirlititi · Sep 30, 2011

EDIT : You should init CdL_Index to 0, CdL_Index2 to 1 and check if "(CdL_Index-1) Equals CdL_Index2" in the ending trigger.

And the loop should be from CdL_Index to CdL_Index2, no?

Also, the variable "CdL_GroupeTurnUnits" must be initialized with a good array size (déploiement) in you case, not 0.

Maybe the dummies are not turning around because they don't change their "facing" instantatly with the action "move unit facing point" (they should have a non-zero movespeed too). I suggest you to display if they are really in the group or not.

I don't see any other flaw for now... Tell us if it helped.

No. The Index system is good. CdL_Index(1) is the number of cast and CdL_Index2 is the number of finished spells.

CdL_groupeturnunit has a deployement. (1deploiement)

They have a movement speed, but mbe not turning speed. (if no, the facing will only be the same and no movement).

So need to verify all.

Vladadamm · Oct 1, 2011

The turning dummy has 522movement speed and 0.01 turning speed.
