[Trigger] Help this trigger doesn't work

[syltman]

• Attack
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Attack
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for Neutral Extra at ((Position of Hero 0001 <gen>) offset by 100.00 towards (Facing of Hero 0001 <gen>) degrees) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Dummy_Unit = (Last created unit)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 99.00 of (Position of Dummy_Unit) matching (((Picked unit) is in (Units owned by Player 12 (Brown))) Equal to True)) and do (Unit - Cause Hero 0001 <gen> to damage (Picked unit), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal)
    • Unit - Remove Dummy_Unit from the game

What I wanted to create was a trigger that targets all units within range owned by player 12 to be damaged for X damage whenever this ability is casted

this line is wrong:

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 99.00 of (Position of Dummy_Unit) matching (((Picked unit) is in (Units owned by Player 12 (Brown))) Equal to True)) and do (Unit - Cause Hero 0001 <gen> to damage (Picked unit), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal)

after the word matching u must define the matching unit like this:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 99.00 of (Position of Dummy_Unit) matching (((Matching unit) is in (Units owned by Player 12 (Brown))) Equal to True)) and do (Unit - Cause Hero 0001 <gen> to damage (Picked unit), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal)

so it is

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 99.00 of (Position of Dummy_Unit) matching (((Matching unit) is in (Units owned by Player 12 (Brown))) Equal to True)) and do (Unit - Cause Hero 0001 <gen> to damage (Picked unit), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal)

Alright thanks man! You're the best!

Can I ask why do you use dummy unit in this trigger?

 

[bReathl3sS]

well he could just use a location or coordinates, but instead he used a dummy, i think it is easier to understand and to do unless you are not familiar with triggering.

 

[Restor]

well maybe, it can be done without dummy, but it stil has leaks
