Creating Trees {spawning trees that will surround a target or an area}

[tdrsmynm]

Hello thanks for viewing!
I know this is a bit easy, but I cant figure it out.

How can I spawn trees at a target or an area? Like the Sprout ability of Furion (Prophet) in Dota..

Thanks in advance

From the target point, create another point offset from the target by, say, 0 degrees and place a tree there. Now add it by 45 degrees and place another tree. And so on, and so on...

• Set point[0] = (Target point of ability being cast)
• For each (Integer loop) from 0 to 7, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set facing = (0.00 + (45.00 x (Real(loop))))
    • Set point[1] = (point[0] offset by 250.00 towards facing degrees)
    • Destructible - Create a Summer Tree Wall at point[1] facing (Random angle) with scale 1.00 and variation 0
    • Set dest[loop] = (Last created destructible)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_point[1])
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_point[0])

I set the destructibles to a variable so you can remove them later like Sprout. (You'd need to index the destructibles properly using an indexing system if you want the trigger to be MUI, which this trigger isn't)

Thanks sir I already +rep you and I will be honest.

Im new to triggers and im looking for tutorials to learn this trigger because I could barely understand it. And im not sure what variables to use for this one.

also, if it would be easier that the trees would be permanent then it would be fine.

facing - real
point - point
loop - integer
dest - destructible

Here are the variable names and types.

This is the triggers I tried and it creates the trees in the middle of the map

- Does the "slow" ability have a "target point", or does it have a "target unit"? (I'm guessing it has a unt)
- In that case, the trigger can't respond to "(Target point of ability being cast)"
- Instead use, "Unit -get position of (Target unit of ability being cast)"

 

[tdrsmynm]

I tried your suggestion but still the same results.
Here's what I changed.
(Changed the slow ability to entangling roots)

and i tried using blink for the target point and still the same results.

Can you try changing "Finishes casting an ability" to "Starts the effect of an ability"?

 

[tdrsmynm]

OMG it worked! Thanks sir. the trees are a bit far but I think it will do.

If they are too far away or apart just modify the values used to spawn them

I lowered down the offset and it kinda works. Also, do you have any idea how to make it disappear after a few seconds??

 

[Light]

• For each (Integer loop) from 0 to 7, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Destructible - Destroy dest[loop]

Something like that. This method is non-MUI, though.

 

[Chaosy]

There are plenty of ways to do it, none that suits a beginner though.

Here is MUI version with configurations. + Remove from the game, because dead desctuctibles can't be removed by decaying like corpses. and as consequence they load the game memory each spell use.
