help on a spell

[darkrider]

ok... heres the deal...

i have one spell that is like impale... but it doesnt lift you up... it freezes you (frost armor efect attached to chest) and creates some ices beneth you...

what i need is to know if there is a posibilty (or another skill) that dont make the enemy unit face in the direccion of the caster...

i tried to make them (enemies) face in the same direccion of the caster ( because this hero has a backstab passive skill) but they turno slowly to the angle i tell them... (i want them to face instantly to that angle)...

after this i tried to move them instantly to the same position they where facing the same degrees the caster is facing... i only achieved an increase in the speed they turn... but not instantly...

Do i have to create 6 dummy units in front of the caster with a war stomp ability of 100 aoe (because the wave distance is 1200) that stuns the enmies and gives them the frost armor effect?... or is there another way?

EDIT: impale ability makes the enemies face the caster

I would simply change the data files if I were you. Triggered/Scripted spell problems go on the Spells and Systems forum.
~Thread Moved

 

[Razorbrain]

please show us your triggers when it comes to the facing change

i would think the problem is there

 

[Just_Spectating]

you could move the unit instantly to position of the same unit facing whatever degrees

Rui: how do i do that?
srry didnt know the thread belongs there :/

Razorbrain: the problem is that impale is configured to make you face the caster... but... if you wanna see... heres my trigger

• Shido casts Blue Pulse
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Blue Pulse (Mizar Shido)
  • Actions
    • If ((Level of Blue Pulse (Mizar Shido) for (Casting unit)) Equal to 1) then do (Set Bluepulse_Time = 1.10) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Level of Blue Pulse (Mizar Shido) for (Casting unit)) Equal to 2) then do (Set Bluepulse_Time = 1.40) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Level of Blue Pulse (Mizar Shido) for (Casting unit)) Equal to 3) then do (Set Bluepulse_Time = 1.70) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Level of Blue Pulse (Mizar Shido) for (Casting unit)) Equal to 4) then do (Set Bluepulse_Time = 2.00) else do (Do nothing)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 1200.00 of (Position of Mizar Shido 0242 <gen>) matching ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Not equal to True) and ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) is in Spell_Imunity_Group) Not equal to True)))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (((Picked unit) has buff Blue Pulse ) Equal to True) then do (Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to (Position of (Picked unit)), facing (Facing of (Casting unit)) degrees) else do (Do nothing)

Just_spectating: thats what i said i did...


PS:those variable set were used when i used the trigger "make unit face angle" if the trigger is gonna stay like this they are gonna disappear

 

[Razorbrain]

try replacing "A unit Finishes casting an ability" with "A unit Starts the effect of an ability" or "A unit begins casting an ability"

 

[darkrider]

ill try... later ill edit and say what happened

EDIT:nop.. nothing happened

 

[Razorbrain]

have you tried using Carrion Swarm instead of Impale? You can edit it to go in a straight line aswell

I think he needs the stun nature of impale, like he said.

Using carrion swarm, you must use a different solution for the freeze (stun)

 

[darkrider]

i tried with carrion swarm... but i cant make it buff the enemy target... :S

im such a noob... -.-

 

[Razorbrain]

to buff the enemy target(s) you can use triggers to create a group of units infront of your caster and add the buffs through the trigger
