Damage Won't Come In Right Place

[Aeroblyctos]

Hey.

I have a minor problem. There's a boss I have been doing, he got one special spell. The effect is okay, but the damage isn't going where I exactly want. It should go where the effect goes: front of him like "half-circle".

I wonder what I did wrong? Can you fix this problem? Trigger and map added to this post. Rep & credits will be added to a project I'm doing.

[Maker]

• (Cos((TempReal - (Angle from TempLoc to TempLoc2)))) Greater than (Cos(90.00))

->

• (Cos(((Facing of EPIC_BOSS) - (Angle from TempLoc to TempLoc2)))) Greater than (Cos(90.00))

That should work.

Facing of unit and Angle from point to point can be tricky. Facing of unit can have value from 0 to 360 and Angle from point to point can have from -180 to +180. Just mentioning,i guess the Maker's solution works anyway.

Yeah, it works!

Thanks, mate. I'll be using this cool spell with a boss.
