Exploding Barrels

[Ralme360]

Hi.

I have many "Barrel of Explosives" that is standing next to each others.
If one of them is attacked and killed it will explode, but i want all the others to explode too. Not all at once but like a chain-reaction. (if you understand me)

Happy for help

Edit: I also want units/buildings close to the barrels to die, or get hurt

I don't know if you or I failed...

But i can't make this work..


I made the trigger exactly as you wrote but still isn't working...

Check if you did something wrong.
Thanks anyway.

That's no problem, but I tested it again and it works for me.

Anyway I give you the small test map, so you can copy the trigger or get a closer look for any difference.

( I use the Destructible "Barrel of Explosives" - if you use another Destructible you have to change it )
( This work only with Destructibles not with Doodads - get a look what you are using )

 

[Ralme360]

Thanks, will test this...

Edit:

Scary....
It isn't working though i copied the trigger from your map. (Must be something with the barrels.)
And I think I'm using the right destructible.

Also in you own map the effect is not blowing up all barrels (if you add more barrels (longer away from TempPoint1) they will not explode...

Dr. Boom does not work, it will not cause a chain reaction like he wants.

Basically what you are after is putting a small wait (TriggerSleepAction(x)) inside the actions so that when the barrel dies it damages nearby units then waits. After the wait it then kills all nearby barrlels.

Omg - Now I think I understand what he want . "CHAIN" ... not directly explode =S <-- Sorry for that - missed that point

This is correct.

Can you please modify the trigger so it will cause a "chain"reaction? (and working, cause i cant make it work...)

Why don't you just add to your barrels "Explode on death" ability,there is one in object editor already,it works nice for me

Wonder why it doesnt work. Maybe because you turn off the trigger when it starts?

Anyway, i'd use the exact trigger Dr. Boom used with a little change.

When a barrel of explosives dies, it deals damage to units around and destroys all barrels in a ... say... 150 range. Each of the barrels will also trigger the trigger, so it should work.

Imma gonna get to work now


Edit : After a little thinking, the method i wanted to use seems not to be able to work. I can, however, replace the destructibles with units that have the barrel model, so i can add abilities to them. Is it ok with you?

@EMPerror: I missed the point that he wants a chain reaction not a directly explode but I got something else =)

Ok it isn't the best way I think ... but somehow I like it =)

Nice name on the map, will test this now (just got home...)



SWEET MAN!!!! This is just what i wanted!

Ty very much for the BOOM!
+Rep in ages!

 

[Garfield1337]

I think using just 1 ability is far more easy than making that trigger...

 

[Damage]

I'd love to know how you plan on adding an ability to a destructible, Garfield1337....

 

[Garfield1337]

Erm...Seems i didn't think about that
Still,this is good way if it's about units

 

[Ralme360]

Thanks anyway guys!

It works fine.
