[Trigger] General trigger question

General trigger question and spell prevent

Is there a list of temporar variables and how long they last?

Example: How long (Triggering player) lasts? Does it delete after "Wait" action?

Do all those variables (triggering player, triggering unit, last created unit etc etc) delete after "wait" action?




-----------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: since I opened the topic, I will ask another question

How to prevent hero to cast a spell? Atm trigger looks like this:

• Base Invulnerable prevent spells
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in BaseFountain <gen>) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Casting unit) Equal to (Picked unit)
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to move (Position of Fountain 0075 <gen>)
            • Wait 0.50 seconds
            • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Stop
          • Else - Actions

I tried to prevent spell by issuing movement order but it doesn't work for all spells.

All I need is some kind of silence or spell effect prevention in a specific rect.

Triggering player, triggering unit last for the whole trigger.
Last created unit lasts until another unit is created (well, it's just overwritten).
Other functions such as "dying unit" and "casting unit" disappear after a wait action.

-----

Why don't you simply use silence? Or that firelord hero spell? (don't know the name, incinerate or something?)

You also have a wait action inside your pick every unit action. Try to avoid that because if I recall correctly, this is what happens if you use it:

e.g. 5 units picked:
Unit 1 moves
Wait 0,5 seconds
Stop unit 1
Unit 2 moves
Wait 0,5 seconds
Stop unit 2
Unit 3 moves
...

Soul Burn

or just order to stop

 

[klemen]

Thanks for the first part El.
____________________________

Yes, that wait 0.5 sec is just to stop hero from moving to fountain, movement order itself should stop the casting. The problem is (I think) that only spells with more then 0 sec casting are stopped, but those with 0 seconds casting release effect before movement order. I think that's the problem, but ofc I dunno how to fix it (and I am not making cast time for every spell!).

I guess will make dummy to cast silence every time someone enters, make a big duration and then remove the buff after unit leaves.
I just though there is more simple way.

 

[Eleandor]

Non-target instant spells are cast anyway I think and can be cast while moving. I'm thinking of berserk, ...

 

[Vercas]

Hmmm, no, it remembers the last order issued before casting the abillity, and then runs it again...

 

[Eleandor]

No that's only if you use "shift + order". Berserk is castable while moving.

 

[Vercas]

Ah, ok, sorry

 

[Dr Super Good]

TriggerSleepAction waits a variable ammount of time, generally shorter in single player and longer in multiplayer. For exact timing use timers.

 

[Airandius]

klemen, be careful with waits though.

When you make a trigger with for example wait 20 sec in it. And it's runs again within those 20 seconds, the previous time the trigger ran will be bugged.
At least that's what I know.

 

[klemen]

hmm, dunno guys something is still not working. I am posting the trigger.

What it does? After you type -unstuck your hero is moved in base after 1 minzte, but only if you DON'T move it or order it to cast a spell. I use this, because some spells can stuck hero in trees or cliffs. Move and spell orders are checked, so player can't abuse the command and freely move around.

The problem is, the hero is not moved in base. Displayed messege is shown.

Why don't you just give him blink?

 

[klemen]

there is another bug, when you use blink with item and blink on rect, that throws you out of base, instead of being moved on the play map it moves you in center of the playable area

that's actually the only reason, but I will use your idea if I won't find the bug
