[Trigger] Help me with a spell

[stan0033]

The spell is Entangling Roots, but they apply to every unit in the range of the spell. I used Blizzard to make the "cloak" of the spell and I made a dummy with the real Entangling Roots.

Race of (picked unit) should be Race of (matching unit)?

 

[Maker]

^Yes.

You leak a point and a group.. this leaks will cause lag to your map. you don't want that do you..

    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Entangling Roots k
  • Actions
    • Set Point = Target point of ability being Cast
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 250.00 of Point matching ((Race of (Matching unit)) Equal to Human) and ((Matching unit) is alive)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order Dummy Rooter 0044 <gen> to Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Entangling Roots (Picked unit)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point)

1)Make sure that the dummy you are using has sufficient mana to cast the Entangling Roots...
2)Make sure the dummy has the ability Entangling Roots..
3)Make sure that the ability Entangling Roots cast range is 9999 or enough for to cast it to the distance between the dummy and the target..

Isn't it better to create the unit when you cast the spell, i don't know how can one unit to root more than 1 unit at the same time, with an one target spell.

• Events
• Unit - A unit Starts an effect of an ability
• Conditions
• (Ability being cast) Equal to Entangling Roots k
• Actions
• Set Point1 = Target point of abillity being Cast
• Set Group = Units withing 250.00 of Point1 matching ((Race of matching unit)) equal to human) and ((Matching unit) is alive)).
• Pick every unit in Group and do:
• Loop - Action
  • Set point2 = Position of picked unit
  • Unit - create 1 dummy rooter at point2
  • unit - order last created unit to nelf keeper of the grove - entangling roots picked unit
  • unit - add 0.50 expiration time to last created
  • Custom Script: Call RemoveLocation(udg_Point2)
• Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)
• custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Group)

It is possible.. just create 1 dummy to cast entangling roots for each unit that is picked..

And what did i said @venger, to create a dummy for each picked unit, before, he was using 1 unit he already had in map, but ONE, to use entangling on more than 1 unit.

 

[venger07]

i don't know how can one unit to root more than 1 unit at the same time, with an one target spell.

I didn't quite understand this sentence.. I thought you were asking help to know how to make a trigger that can root more than 1 unit.

 

[Maker]

One unit can root multiple targets. You can create the dummy before the loop and order it in the loop. Set the dummy's cast point, cast backswing and movement speed to 0.
