Expansive Spell

[Sharinganeye]

I'm trying to do an expansive spell that stuns an pull the enemies away, but i don't know how to do a triger to push ONLY enemies when used, can someone tell me how?

 

[Yixx]

Could you post the trigger so we can help you better?
(Remember to use [trigger.][/trigger.] tags (without the dot) to make us read it better =),, )

-Yixx,,-

 

[Element of Water]

something like:

• Set tmp_Group = Units within 500.00 of (Triggering Unit) matching Owner of (Matching Unit) is an enemy of Owner of (Triggering Unit)
• Unit Group - Pick all units in tmp_Group and do actions
  • Loop - Actions
    • -------- Knockback Stuff --------

(I wrote that without the editor so there may be some errors)

 

[Sharinganeye]

Ty elemental of water, that was what i needed

 

[Yixx]

Oh, so when i post it gets ignored like hell, and when element of water posts something, you answer within 2 secs =S,,
i think it is appropriate to say Thank you now,, Not!

 

[Element of Water]

You didn't help him, I did

 

[Yixx]

Yeah, but i tried, i asked for more information so i could give an appropriate answer,,
guess next time i will write some shit and hope for the best -.-

 

[Element of Water]

guess next time i will write some shit and hope for the best -.-

lulz

Yixx, sorry, but you make no sense here .

Sharinganeye, how do you make threads without prefixes?
And on topic, I use Paladon's system for jump and knockback, it works like charm (in case you haven't written one by yourself).

 

[Sharinganeye]

I got on at a time that your post an his post were already posted, so i saw both and like element of water helped me, I didnt need your help but thanks anyway for triying helping me ^^
And what is a prefix?
I have solved it thanks to you anyway

 

[Element of Water]

A prefix is the

 or [TRIGGER] you see at the beginning of thread names BTW.

 

[Sharinganeye]

I just put nothing

 

[Sharinganeye]

thanks for help, but it doesnt work, and i don't know why, so can you help me? (I dont know how to put my trigger here also)

 

[Yixx]

Right click on your trigger, there should be 'Copy as text'
Click that, paste it in here, and put [trigger.][/trigger.] tags around it
(without the dot)

Oh, and dont double post! use the 'EDIT' button

 

[Sharinganeye]

Ok, sry and thanks, ill do that tomorrow

Edit:
I didn't see Element of Water's post before, I'll make the trigger hidden, of you want, you can still use it... Sorry for that.

Trigger

Here is the knock-back trigger that I made... I hope it works (didn't test it thoroughly, just wrote it down and took screenys ^^).

I've used some variables and 2 triggers to make it easier to read, this isn't necessary, it just clears things up

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Push Back
• Actions
  • Set Casting_Unit = (Casting unit)
  • Trigger - Turn on Push back <gen>
  • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of Casting_Unit using Abilities\Spells\Orc\WarStomp\WarStompCaster.mdl
  • Wait 0.10 seconds
  • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of Casting_Unit using Abilities\Spells\Orc\WarStomp\WarStompCaster.mdl
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 350.00 of (Position of Casting_Unit) matching ((matching Owner of (Matching Unit) is an enemy of Owner of (Casting_Unit)))) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Orc\AncestralSpirit\AncestralSpiritCaster.mdl
  • Wait 0.30 seconds
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 360.00 of (Position of (Casting unit)) matching ((matching Owner of (Matching Unit) is an enemy of Owner of (Casting_Unit)) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing ((Real((Strength of (Casting unit) (Include bonuses)))) x 2.00) damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Force
  • Trigger - Turn off Push back <gen>

This was mainly the Special effect and the initializing of the ability (I'm aware of the double War Stomp).

Here comes the actual trigger which lets the enemies move smoothly away from the hero:

• Events
  • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 350.00 of (Position of Casting_Unit) matching ((Owner of (Matching Unit) is an enemy of Owner of (Casting_Unit))) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to ((Position of (Picked unit)) offset by 5.00 towards (180.00 + (Angle from (Position of (Picked unit)) to (Position of Casting_Unit))) degrees)

Screenshots:

Do not mind the "(null)" in this screeny, I was just testing something

If it doesn't work, or there are leaks, please tell me, so I can fix it (or someone else can).

I hope I helped you out a little, have fun.

 

[Element of Water]

There are several leaks and you shouldn't use 0.01 seconds, you should use more like 0.04 or 0.03.

 

[ap0calypse]

There are several leaks and you shouldn't use 0.01 seconds, you should use more like 0.04 or 0.03.

True, I see it now... just destroy the group and special effects at the end and change it to .04/.03 seconds.
I just made it in a few minutes (in a spell-map I always use ^^), I already thought it had some leaks.
