Help mui item trigger

[kruzerg]

i want a system in my map
example
i have hero
and there are a shop sell legendary item
if i buy that item
that item have ability; every xx second call whatever spell (example: frost nova or storm bolt to within 1000 aoe from my hero)

here is the hardest part
if i playing alone its still fine no prob
but if i play multiplayer my trigger wont work (since only the last hero acquired the item the only one will have the spell trigerred on that item), pro said i need MUI, dynamic indexing to be able that item work individually for each players
anyone can teach me that trigger allowed each player can use that item ability individually?

obviously its use player or unit group array that i cant understand?

You don't need dynamic indexing for this. Just add the unit that gets the item to a unit group. In the trigger that periodically activates the effect, change it to "pick every unit in group and do multiple actions". Then do the exact same thing you did before, but replace the unit variable you had before with "picked unit". It will do it separately for each unit in the group. It will work with any number of units. Remove them from the group if they drop the item.

        • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_FACELESSGROUP)

In the first trigger, I removed a couple lines that I don't think do anything.
I made a new variable called FACELESSHEROES. It must be a unit group.

In the second trigger, you loop over the new unit group. To keep it simple, I set FACELESSHERO to Picked unit. This means the rest does not need to be changed. It will switch FACELESSHERO for each unit in the group that got added.

This would do exactly what it was doing before, except for all the units that are in the group. I did notice, however, that there is an if statement after the inner loops that looks like it was meant to be in the actual loop. It may be buggy, especially since picked unit before was null and now it will be the hero that it is currently on in the loop. Just thought this needed mentioning.

thanks a lot , at least its better than before
well i have system if i buy same item the same item will be instantly dropped but i worried since its entered hero inventory 1st before dropped its occured trigger sechzig auto again

so my off trigger should be:
it is right?

• Sechzig off
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Loses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to |cffff8800Claszureme Clock|r
    • (Unit-type of (Hero manipulating item)) Equal to Faceless King
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off Sechzig auto <gen>

btw i will rep you +

Not quite. Turning off the trigger would turn it off for everyone. All you have to do is remove the unit from the group. Like this:

• Sechzig off
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Loses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to |cffff8800Claszureme Clock|r
    • (Unit-type of (Hero manipulating item)) Equal to Faceless King
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from (FACELESSHEROES)

If you want it to be a little more efficient, then you can check if the group is empty after and then turn off the periodic trigger, but once every 60 seconds is actually a pretty low amount. All it would do is make one call that does nothing because the group is empty once per minute.

ty a lot again =) im still weak on unit group and array stuff

btw this stuff dont need indexing or MUI?
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...ials-279/creating-some-basic-abilities-32827/

 

[SAUS]

No problem!

It looks like those ones are labelled if they are not MUI. It looks like just IV and V are not MUI. IV could be made MUI the exact same way as with the trigger here - by using unit groups instead of single units. The knockback one would be more tricky, since the units getting knocked back also need to have a bunch of data associated with them. It could also be done with unit groups, but you would need indexing or a hashtable.

 

[kruzerg]

honestly i dont like knockback because its can screwed up the scenario in my map (example knockbacking unit into forest or gate and led them to boss (shouldnt face the boss yet) like that haha
btw you know how to making http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/fade-step-v1-7-a-190489/ not to pass through doodads or terain? i worried if i use it, the hero can stuck on terain or doodads

 

[SAUS]

Knockback and all that can be set up to not go through doodads, but you would have to find the right system or do some coding yourself. Fade step looks like you would need to add collision detection yourself so that it doesn't go through terran. You might be able to steal the code from a knockback system to detect pathing and plug it into the fade step ability. Make sure to credit the knockback system creator if you do that, though.

looks complicated @@
