Freeze Spell

[Pekisa7]

Hello. Its Pekisa7 again. I've receantley looked up a thread about how to freeze a unit in place. I did everything the thread told me by making the triggers but it dosen't work. Instead of storm bolt + buff i made my abillty howling blast + freeze ( Entagling Roots buff). Can it be done that way? Can someone help. Id aprriciate it. Best regards from Pekisa7. Here are the triggers :

• Freeze
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Howling Blast (Lich King)
  • Actions
    • Set Freeze_Unit = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Unit Group - Add Freeze_Unit to Freeze_Group
    • Animation - Change Freeze_Unit's animation speed to 0.00% of its original speed

• Freeze Loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Freeze_Group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Freeze_Unit = (Picked unit)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Freeze_Unit has buff Freeze (Ice)) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit Group - Remove Freeze_Unit from Freeze_Group
            • Animation - Change Freeze_Unit's animation speed to 100.00% of its original speed
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Number of units in Freeze_Group) Equal to 0
              • Then - Actions
                • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
              • Else - Actions
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • (Freeze_Unit has buff Divine Shield) Equal to False
                    • (Freeze_Unit has buff Cyclone) Equal to False
                    • (Freeze_Unit has buff Invulnerable) Equal to False
                    • (Freeze_Unit has buff Sleep) Equal to False
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Unit - Make Freeze_Unit Vulnerable
                  • Else - Actions
                    • Unit - Make Freeze_Unit Invulnerable

Does anyone know?

• (Freeze_Unit has buff Freeze (Ice)) Equal to True

Shouldn't this be false instead of true? The point of this trigger is to remove affected units from the group, I assume when they have lost the buff right?

Also the trigger is set to be turned off if the group is empty, which is a good idea because of the periodic event, but do you turn it on elsewhere? Otherwise your spell will probaby only work 1 time and never again

I set the freeze unit has buff to false it dosen't still work.

@Pekisa7 You forgot to respond to this part.

I have questions too. Which ability is Howling Blast based on? Does it cast a missile that travels toward the target?

Howling Blast is based on Blizzard.

The triggers that i put never implemented that i turn it on somwhere.

Oh well that's the problem, Blizzard targets a point not an unit, so (Target unit of ability being cast) = nothing

You could instead pick every unit in a radius of X around the target point of ability being cast

Okay. Thanks for the reply.

what freezes a unit?
1.

• Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)

OR
2.

• Animation - Change (Last created unit)'s animation speed to 0.00% of its original speed

you dont need to checlk ever 0.01s.
here is a plan:
variables:
freeze_unit_group
Countdown_timer[array of 1000 or another big number]
int incremented_id

when a unit casts this freeze ability, increment incremented_id, give this id as custom-int to the unit, then put the unit inside freeze_unit_group. the nstart Countdown_timer[incremented_id] to expire in (x seconds * levle of freeze ability for casting unit)
then have a trigger to check every 1 second if freeze_unit_group is empty, if not then for each unit check the remaining time of Countdown_timer[ccustom value of picked unit]

something like that
