Cool spell idea

[Dethellica]

So today i came up with a spell idea. If i would decide to make it i would put it in a map that is like DotA. Anyway spell name would be Death Magnetic and the basic idea would be that it pulls x amount of units from all over map to the caster and then make AOE effect at the point where units are pulled and stun them and then finally it would return units to where they were. That was my idea and i think it would be awsome but i just don't know is it possible to make all that happen.

Not so hard to make... Use Position Variable, that's all

• Death Magnetic
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Death Magnetic
  • Actions
    • Set CasterPos = (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Set Caster = (Casting unit)
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to X, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Target[(Integer A)] = (Random unit from (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) controller) Equal to Computer)))
        • Set TargetPos[(Integer A)] = (Position of Target[(Integer A)])
        • Unit - Move Target[(Integer A)] instantly to CasterPos, facing CasterPos
        • Wait - 0.50 Seconds
        • Unit - Cause Caster to damage Target[(Integer A)], dealing 300.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Magic
        • Unit - Move Target[(Integer A)] instantly to TargetPos[(Integer A)]
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_CasterPos )
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_TargetPos )

I think that's all
Oh and X=Number of Targets
Target and TargetPos are arrays with as many slots as many targets you want
Make some variables:
Target-Unit Array
Caster-Unit
TargetPos-Point Array
CasterPos-Point

To make some cool flashy animation put there some special effects after the Wait (And if you want to make wait time longer Pause the enemy units, cos' if you don't they'll attack you )

Make a Dummy Spell and it's done

Hmm I still have the feeling he wants to like knockback or leap or whatever them to caster and back

 

[Kanadaj]

That's not so hard (But if he couldn't do this trigger himself, I think it may be hard for him )

 

[Adiktuz]

use

• Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability

instead of begins casting...

If you use begins casting, you can still execute the trigger even if the spell is stopped before you actually use it (before mana is used etc...) so in you current trigger someone can spam that spell without using any mana...

 

[Dethellica]

Well yea im not really that great with triggers but anyway thx kanadaj i might atleast try to do this.

Wait in a loop? Tahts not cool.

Wait in a loop? Tahts not cool.

That would be true, but if you want it to make special effects and others like this you'll have to put in a wait, or it'll be a mess...
Or you can make 2 different triggers for it, but I don't believe in that for such easy spell liek this.
