Custom Feral Spirit. Trigger problem.

[SpasMaster]

Hello, Hive!

I am working on a Hero right now and I've ran into a problem with one of his spells - Feral Spirit. Basically it's the original Feral Spirit spell, but it adds healing on the attacks of the wolves. Here is what I wanted to achieve:

• Feral Spirits must always heal the Far Seer no matter where he is.
• Feral Spirits heal allied units within 150 range of the attacked target.
• Feral Spirits cannot heal themselves. One Spirit can heal the other, but not itself.

The problem I ran into is that the Feral Spirits heal the Far Seer not only when they attack, but also when they are attacked. I've spent hours and hours to find the problem, but so far - no luck. I'll post the triggers now and after that I will explain what I thought that could be the problem, but isn't.

Here is the trigger where I set the Far_Seer variable.
[trigger=""]FS Setup
Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Feral Spirit (Far Seer)
Actions
Set Far_Seer = (Triggering unit)
[/trigger]

Hidden

Here is trigger one of the Damage Configuration.
[trigger=""]FS Configuration
Events
Map initialization
Conditions
Actions
Set FS_Config_Group = (Units in (Playable map area))
Unit Group - Pick every unit in FS_Config_Group and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Trigger - Add to FS Heal <gen> the event (Unit - (Picked unit) Takes damage)
Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_FS_Config_Group)
[/trigger]

Here is trigger two of the Damage Configuration.
[trigger=""]FS Configuration 2
Events
Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
Conditions
And - All (Conditions) are true
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Spirit Wolf (Level 1)
(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Dire Wolf (Level 2)
(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Shadow Wolf (Level 3)
(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Elemental Wolf (Level 4)
Actions
Trigger - Add to FS Heal <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)
[/trigger]

Hidden

And here is the actual effect trigger.
[trigger=""]FS Heal
Events
Conditions
Or - Any (Conditions) are true
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Damage source)) Equal to Spirit Wolf (Level 1)
(Unit-type of (Damage source)) Equal to Dire Wolf (Level 2)
(Unit-type of (Damage source)) Equal to Shadow Wolf (Level 3)
(Unit-type of (Damage source)) Equal to Elemental Wolf (Level 4)
Actions
-------- HEAL FAR SEER --------
Set Heal_FeralSpirit_Amount = ((0.00 + (5.00 x (Real((Level of Feral Spirit (Far Seer) for Far_Seer))))) + (0.25 x (Real((Intelligence of Far_Seer (Include bonuses))))))
Unit - Set life of Far_Seer to ((Life of Far_Seer) + Heal_FeralSpirit_Amount)
Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (|c0010db0a+ + (String((Integer(Heal_FeralSpirit_Amount))))) above Far_Seer with Z offset 0.00, using font size 8.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 100.00 towards (Random real number between 45.00 and 135.00) degrees
Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.30 seconds
Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 0.65 seconds
-------- HEAL AOE --------
Set FeralSpirit_Point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
Set FeralSpirit_Group = (Units within 150.00 of FeralSpirit_Point matching ((((Matching unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Damage source))) Equal to True) and (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Not equal to |c00ffff99Far Seer|r) and (((Matching unit) Not equal to (Damage source))
Unit Group - Pick every unit in FeralSpirit_Group and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) + Heal_FeralSpirit_Amount)
Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (|c0010db0a+ + (String((Integer(Heal_FeralSpirit_Amount))))) above (Picked unit) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 8.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 100.00 towards (Random real number between 45.00 and 135.00) degrees
Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.30 seconds
Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 0.65 seconds
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_FeralSpirit_Point)
Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_FeralSpirit_Group)
[/trigger]

Here is what came to my mind:

• Maybe another trigger makes it so when Feral Spirits are attacked to heal the Far Seer. Checked, this isn't the issue.
• I played with the conditions countless of times. None seem to work.
• I've tried the system without the AoE heal once, and the second time without the Far Seer heal. This isn't the issue.

Just as a side note. Here is a very simple trigger that has almost the same effect. It works perfectly. Events are added in same manner as shown above.

[trigger=""]Demonic Bond

Well, basically the problem is here:

• FS Configuration 2
• Events
• Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
• Conditions
• Actions
• Trigger - Add to FS Heal <gen> the event (Unit - (Entering unit) Takes damage)

If a spirit enters in the map he will be registered in the event so you have to put conditions of the spirits unit type. By the way, change Entering unit to triggering unit, it's way faster.

It used to have conditions. Still didn't work. Besides I have the conditions in the FS Heal trigger.

EDIT: It's updated with conditions now. Still heals far seer when the Spirits are attacked.

 

[Wrda]

Then try to add conditions on FS Heal trigger like

• (Unit-type of (Attacked unit) Not equal to Spirit Wolf (Level 1)

but as "and conditions"

• Trigger - Add to FS Heal <gen> the event (Unit - (Entering unit) Takes damage)

By the way, change Entering unit to triggering unit, it's way faster.

Attacked Unit? The event is:

• Trigger - Add to FS Heal <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)

It will do nothing.

I have this:

• Or - Any (Conditions) are true
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Damage source)) Equal to Spirit Wolf (Level 1)
    • (Unit-type of (Damage source)) Equal to Dire Wolf (Level 2)
    • (Unit-type of (Damage source)) Equal to Shadow Wolf (Level 3)
    • (Unit-type of (Damage source)) Equal to Elemental Wolf (Level 4)

Updated trigger with "Triggering Unit" instead of "Entering Unit".

Attacked Unit? The event is:

• Trigger - Add to FS Heal <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)

It does, trust me.

No no, besides this:

    • (Unit-type of (Damage source)) Equal to Spirit Wolf (Level 1)

    • (Unit-type of (Damage source)) Equal to Shadow Wolf (Level 3)
    • (Unit-type of (Damage source)) Equal to Elemental Wolf (Level 4)

Add that part of conditions:

• Conditions
• And - All (Conditions) are true
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Attacked unit)) Not equal to Spirit Wolf (Level 1)
    • (Unit-type of (Attacked unit)) Not equal to Dire Wolf (Level 2)

I would change the

• (Unit-type of (Attacked unit))

into

• (Unit-type of (Triggering unit))

since "attacked unit" is a response only to the "Unit is attacked" event I think.
Because your event is "Unit takes damage", it could be triggering unit instead.

No, attacked unit works.

 

[SpasMaster]

The triggers seem to be fine. There is an aura in my map that causes units to reflect damage.

When Feral Spirits reflect damage they also heal the Far Seer.

Problem solved, +repping.
