[Trigger] Heal depends on heroes number

[Veldris]

How do i make a unit heals depending on heroes number around him?

 

[MyPad]

1. Enumerate all units within range of that unit.
2. Filter out Heroes from units within the group, either in filtering phase or enumeration phase (
   • Unit Group - Pick all units in <unit group> and do (Actions)
   )
3. Get the resulting number of units in the group.
4. Do your healing mechanic here. (Edited)

Btw, how would your healing mechanic work exactly?

I want it to have 5 seconds before happening so player get a chance to run before the boss healing off them and i tried to do all you just said but its not working

So the healing mechanic behaves like this? (Pseudo-code below)

PlayerEvent:watch(EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT, function()
    doAfter(5.00, function()
        enumUnitsInRange()
        filterHeroes()
        getGroupCount()
        doHeal()
    end)
end)

If so, then 2 triggers can be configured to do what you need to do in GUI (if map script is in vJASS, otherwise it would be trivial in Lua).

Delayed Trigger Effect:

• Delayed Trigger Effect

    • Event - Every <interval> seconds of game-time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer <index_var>) from 1 to <spell_max_index>, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set <remaining_dur_var>[<index_var>] = <remaining_dur_var>[<index_var>] - <interval>
        • If - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • <remaining_dur_var>[<index_var>] less than or equal to 0.00
          • Then - Actions
            • -------- Do the enumeration and filtering portion here --------
            • Set <temp_point> = (Position of <spell_unit>[<index_var>])
            • Set <enum_group> = Units within <spell_range> of <temp_point>
            • Unit Group - Pick every unit in <enum_group> and do (Actions)
              • Loop - Actions
                • -------- Apply filter here. If the unit doesn't pass the filter, remove it from the group --------
            • Set <hero_count> = (Number of units in <enum_group>)
            • -------- Do the healing mechanic here --------
            • -------- Dynamic Indexing clean-up --------
            • Set <spell_unit>[<index_var>] = <spell_unit>[<spell_max_index>]
            • Set <spell_unit>[<spell_max_index>] = No unit
            • Set <spell_max_index> = <spell_max_index> - 1
            • Set <index_var> = <index_var> - 1

i dont want it to be every second lol just heals instantly if there are units around him

and no jass please!

It actually doesn't heal the unit periodically. It just waits until the remaining duration reaches 0, and does its' business once it does, and gets removed from the loop thereafter. The principles behind this can be read here: Visualize: Dynamic Indexing

Also, jass cannot be avoided in this situation, since there are leaks in the given triggers. However, they are mostly one-liner scripts. A guide can be found here: Memory Leaks

The desired objects to clean up are the group and point variables. They are mostly located in the Delayed Trigger Effect.

What MyPad suggested is for creating an MUI spell. This design is done so that the spell works for multiple units/multiple casts from the same unit. This is great to learn and pretty much required for making MUI spells in GUI.

However, I know from seeing your other triggers that you probably only have 1 Boss casting this spell (Or whatever Event it is that you're using) and MUI is not an issue.

So I think this is what you're looking for:

• Boss Heal
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 5.00 seconds
    • Set Variable TempPoint = (Position of YourBossUnit)
    • Set Variable HealCount = 0
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 500.00 of TempPoint) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Variable HealCount = (HealCount + 1)
          • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • HealCount Greater than 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of YourBossUnit to ((Percentage life of YourBossUnit) + ((Real(HealCount)) x 10.00))%
      • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)

This will Heal the boss for 10% health for each nearby Hero after a 5.00 second delay. I don't know what Events you wanted to use so I left them blank.

You need to explain what you want/your issues in greater detail so people can help you out properly. Remember that it can be difficult to provide a solution when there's so many different methods to solving a problem. Try to remember this when asking for help!
