[Trigger] Help with damage trigger

[VampireHeart]

Im having trouble with a trigger.

What i want is when you press an ability it the unit deals damage, in line with its facing angle, to enemy units.

I dont want to have to select a target though, like shockwave or something.

I have tried something like this but it does not work (also it does not incorporate facing angle and what not):

• strike air
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Strike air
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All enemies of Player 1 (Red)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Matching player)) and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Unit - Cause Player1Unit to damage (Picked unit), dealing 500.00 damage of attack type Normal and damage type Normal

Your right, line damage is tricky. But, I made a trigger that can do it.

• Line Damage
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Your Ability
  • Actions
    • Set TempLocA = (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Set TempLocC = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and ((Matching unit) Not equal to (Casting unit))))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set TempLocB = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Set TempRealA = (Distance between TempLocA and TempLocB)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Region centered at (TempLocA offset by TempRealA towards (Angle from TempLocA to TempLocC) degrees) with size (50.00, 50.00)) contains (Picked unit)) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 50.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
            • Special Effect - Create a special effect at TempLocB using Objects\Spawnmodels\Human\FragmentationShards\FragBoomSpawn.mdl
            • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
          • Else - Actions
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLocB)
        • Custom script: set udg_TempRealA = 0
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLocA)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLocC)

If you have any questions just ask.

the problem is that is only for one player, this is how i make it MUI, i just changet a player..

 

[graystuff111]

It doesnt matter. Jese, your slow. Mine is MUI. My trigger runs instantly, and my varibles are removed as quickly as they are placed. Just because you array everything doesnt make it the only MUI thing.

 

[graystuff111]

Your trigger just damages in a circle also, not a line. LINE!!!!

[graystuff111]

Maby your just not noticing an effect. Attach a special effect to TempLocA.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

You should set TempLocB = (Position of (Picked unit)) before TempRealA so no one have to stand on you because at the moment the distance is 0.
The region size is a bit small i think.
And you don't need to set TempRealA = 0 at the end.

This should work, but it still leaks though.

[graystuff111]

It still wont work. You removed TempLocA in the loop.

Bring it out of the Unit Group.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Ops. Didn't see that. Thanks for pointing that out.
I have now edited the post above. I hope it's correct now.

 

[graystuff111]

Ya, well I was the person who originly wrote the trigger, and if you need a working trigger then look at the first trigger posted.
