Detecting channeling heroes

[Saishy]

I want to do something every 1s to all heroes that are channeling some skill.
How can I do it?

Unit Group - Pick every units in (Playable Map) (Matching ...?)

Hmm..? I probably have to do something with "specific channeled" ability
Like when unit starts channel it "store" it or something like that, than you turn on your trigger that check every 1 second and do what you wish it to do.

Wait till some one smarter than me, submit something else.

Well, this is at the top of my head...

• Begins Channeling
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to ChannelingGroup

• Stop Channeling
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Stops casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from ChannelingGroup

• Every 1 Second
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in ChannelingGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • -------- Do something --------

The bad thing about the first trigger is that it puts any unit who casts a spell into ChannelingGroup so it might not give you the effect you like...

This will not work for me because I need 1s after the unit start channeling the skill.
So if a hero start channeling it, and another channel after 0,5s the first one, it will mess the hole thing.

Jass using locals?

 

[Saishy]

Isn't better just to detect if a unit is channeling before start with more complicated things?
I just want that, a (Matching...) that detect if the unit is channeling a skill.

 

[redmarine]

What about Ability being channelled Equal Something?

 

[Saishy]

Thanks redmarine.

Now I see that I still have the same problem, my skill should deal 100 damage per second channeled. So:

hero1 start channeling
after 0,9s
hero2 start channeling
after 0,1s
hero1 and hero2 got 100 damage.

How can I avoid this?
(Well, if only say "use jass" It will be bad, because I can't really see how to do that with Jass)

Maybe check for order?

(matching unit) has order (channeling)

I do not know if channeling is an order, but i do think so.

We still have the problem with it being 1 second to everyone.
I guess you could use my big nono with custom value, every 0.10 seconds of game time pick all units whose order is channeling and add +1 to their custom value. If the custom value is 10, set it to 0 again and damage the unit.

 

[Saishy]

Using lower numbers as time is not what I was thinking...

I got the answer to all your questions in a single spell of mine: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/showpost.php?p=710670&postcount=99

This Spell uses a channel detection on JASS base.

Detecting channeling units is easy

Event - unit begins channeling an ability

add these units to a unit group


Do whatever you want with the channeling unit group, whatever perioding effects they might have.


When the channeling unit is interrupted, you can use the event triggers detect aborted orders to remove the interrupted unit from the unit group.

Didn't you say that they shouldn't all be damaged at one time? In that case, 0.10 timers is a way of doing it. They won't get damaged each 0.10 second casting, each unit will be damaged when they've channeled for 1, 2 , 3 seconds and so on...
