[Spell] Help with Illusions that deal damage upon death..

[SSJ7107]

hey guys..... i'm making a spell based on mirror image where it makes a clone and it will deal damage upon death... i don't know if this is a stupid question or nah but i'm just not too good at triggering

 

[Jampion]

Can you be more specific where your problem is?
- Detecting when the illusion dies
- Dealing Damage

Who gets damaged? Just all enemies wihtin a region?

 

[SSJ7107]

yes all the enemies around the illusion will take damage when the illusion dies

This trigger contains leaks, but I just wanted to quickly show how this would work.

• Illusion
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is an illusion) Equal to True
    • -------- if there are multiple sources of illusions in your map you should add a condition --------
    • -------- to verifiy that this illusion comes from the ability --------
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 300.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) is A structure) Equal to False
            • -------- add a conditions so only certain targets are damaged (do not damage buildings for example) --------
            • ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of (Picked unit))) Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 500.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
          • Else - Actions

Here is the template which allows to explode illusions which are summoned ONLY heroic ability. Try to use Wand of Illusion to make sure. WoI Illusion wouldn't explode.
To configurate the ability go to "INIT" and "USE OR CONFIG".

thanks

You could also try giving it the AOE damage ability that mines have, they explode when they are destroyed, however Im pretty sure you can modify the animation to whatever you want instead of an explosion

 

[SSJ7107]

Hmmm.... maybe you are right but what should i use: "Last created unit" or "Summoned Unit" in the triggers

 

[Lord Siler]

If the unit is created by a trigger use last created unit, if it's summoned by another unit used the summoned unit.

okay thanks
