[Spell] Creep stop attacking my unit after a few time.

[Kusanagi Kuro]

I make a Fire Shield spell that base on Inner Fire. It cause enemy unit to take damage every time it attack or move too close to my unit that has this spell's buff on it. I using 3 trigger (1 heal, one damage the enemy when they attack the unit, one damage the enemy when they are too close to the unit). Here are the trigger:

Trigger

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Is attacked
• Conditions
  • ((Triggering unit) has buff Fire Shield ) Equal to True
• Actions
  • Set FireShield = (Level of Fire Shield for CastingHero2)
  • Set Damage = (((Real(FireShield)) - 1.00) + 24.00)
  • Unit - Cause CastingHero2 to damage (Attacking unit), dealing Damage damage of attack type Spells and damage type Enhanced

• Events
  • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
• Actions
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • ((Picked unit) has buff Fire Shield ) Equal to True
        • Then - Actions
          • Set Damage = (18.00 + ((Real(FireShield)) x 12.00))
          • Set AOE = (Position of (Picked unit))
          • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 250.00 of AOE) and do (If ((((Picked unit) is A structure) Equal to True) or ((Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Owner of CastingHero2))) then do (Do nothing) else do (Unit - Cause CastingHero2 to damage (Picked unit), dealing Damage damage of attack type Spells and damage type En
        • Else - Actions
          • Do nothing

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions

  • Set CastingHero2 = (Triggering unit)
  • Set Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)

After a few times using this skill and it work really perfect except for 1 thing: THE ENEMY AI CREEP DONT ATTACK MY UNIT ANYMORE. >.<
I cant figure it out. Some one help me plz.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

AH, 33 viewers but no one can help me? >.<

 

[OmNomNom]

I think it has something to do with the first trigger, the one with "A unit is Attacked" event. Still wondering why, though.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Okay, thks for taking some time. Plz tell me when u figure it out.

 

[CroMoX]

Ok so I'm not sure what the problem is, but it has to do with the every 1 second loop, the attack event is fine, it just can be abused, but since it's an enemy won't be abused. Now you have several leaks in your trigger I would suggest using these custom scripts to remove it;

• Custom Script: call DestroyGroup (udg_UnitGroup)

• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true

I would not suggest the second one, since it will destroy both groups instantly, so I would set them both to a Unit Group variable array, with UnitGroup as the name

Also read up about this

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

I'll try but about "things that leak", I still cant understand it. Can u explain plz?
Edit: what trigger do i need to put the custom script into?
Edit 2: This problem only happens with ranged unit (LOL), this is the only thing I discovered when testing ur cript.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

I'm still waiting. Anybody has any ideas about my problem?
I'll repeat my problem again:
I make a Fire Shield spell that base on Inner Fire skill. This skill gives a targeted unit a shield which cause any enemy unit that is too close to the unit or attack it will be damaged. Also the spell heal the targeted unit for 10% of the caster max Hp.
When I testing it, it works fine but suddenly the Ranged Unit (Controlled by AI) which used to attack my unit never order to attack it again. U can see my trigger on the 1st post. If u think it's necessary to have my map to test it, I'll send u.
Waiting for any response. Hope u guys can help me.

yeah, hayaku1412.
that would be better if you want to post your map so we could have a better understanding of what problem you are having since i'm so confused about these things you called "AI"

is it either

You are making an AI for your map with AI Editor
or
You called Neutral Hostile as Creep AI

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Here it is. I'm not making an AI for my map and AI is Computer 2 when testing. The Paladin has the skill (Fire Shield) and the enemy is Shadow Shaman.

hi, hayaku1412.
i'm back from testing your map and i know exactly what problem you are having right now. the problem doesn't lie on your new spell (i really love your spell).

have you ever played any melee map ? where each time a hero of AI is attacked by any units, they would run, run, run until they're safe and not attacked anymore. now, try to change shadow hunter with any neutral hostile both ranged and melee unit. they shouldn't run and would attack you

Note : Place the Neutral Hostiles AWAY from Player Start Location or else it would vanish

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Oh, thks so much. I'm just afraid that I have to delete that spell for that bug.
But now, after knowing the problem, how can I fix it?
Also thks for liking my spell. I will soon post a new spells pack on spells trigger.

go to Object Editor > Search for your enemy (Shadow Hunter) > set the Stats - Can Flee from True to False.

another thing i spotted was

• Set Damage = (Real(FireShield)) - 1.00) + 24.00
• Set Damage = (18 + (Real(FireShield)) x 12.00))

you are setting the damage with the same variable which would resulting the variable to replace one after another..
so the damage would be either (Real(FireShield)) - 1.00) + 24.00 or (18 + (Real(FireShield)) x 12.00)).. use different..
variable for each different damage that would be deal at the same time (e.g Damage1, Damage2 or Damage[1], Damage[2])

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Og, about that bug, I forget to create a new variable. . So ur solution is to turn off the stat can flee right? Thks for helping.
