[Spell] Help with Spell

[Luk3]

I'm not sure if here is the right local to this topic, sorry if I'm wrong.

I'm trying to make a spell that is basically the Warcraft 3 default spell "Flame Strike", but the damage is 20x(Level of Spell). For that, I will need to use triggers.

I tried a bunch of times, but I can't get it working without keep damaging the units that already moved away from the burning area.

Could someone help me with this? Trying to explain to me using GUI?

Thanks for any answer.

 

[gorillabull]

can you post your code

 

[defskull]

You must trigger from the start of the flame (channeling) until the end of it, all of it trigger-wise.
Therefore you must trigger the creation of Flame Strike model (dummy), and would remove the dummy if the channeling is cancelled, etc etc.

Yeah, it's a hardwork, not just damage x 20 trigger.

maybe create a dummy caster or something

maybe create a dummy caster or something

dummy caster would only cast the spell...

Thanks everyone for the help, I already discovered by myself how to do it, but I'll try the other one you suggest me.

Code:

• Caster Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability bein cast) Equal to [D]Pulverização [Doomage]
    • Actions
      • Set Points[1] = (Target point of ability being cast)
      • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Points[1] using Abilities\Spells\Human\FlameStrike\FlameStrikeTarget.mdl
      • Wait 0.50 seconds
      • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
      • Unit - Move Dummy 0037 <gen> instantly to Points[1]
      • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Points[1] using Abilities\Spells\Human\FlameStrike\FlameStrike1.mdl
      • Wait 5.00 seconds
      • Unit - Move Dummy 0037 <gen> instantly to (Center of Dummy Region <gen>)
      • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

• Damage Trigger
  • Unit - A unit comes within 200.00 of Dummy 0037 <gen>
• Conditions
  • ((Triggering unit) belong to an enemy of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
• Actions
  • Unit - Cause Heroi[6] to damage (Triggering unit), dealing (20.00 x (Real((Level of [d]Pulverização [Doomage] for Heroi[6])))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
  • Wait 1.00 seconds
  • Unit - Cause Heroi[6] to damage (Triggering unit), dealing (20.00 x (Real((Level of [d]Pulverização [Doomage] for Heroi[6])))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
  • Wait 1.00 seconds
  • Unit - Cause Heroi[6] to damage (Triggering unit), dealing (20.00 x (Real((Level of [d]Pulverização [Doomage] for Heroi[6])))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
  • Wait 1.00 seconds
  • Unit - Cause Heroi[6] to damage (Triggering unit), dealing (20.00 x (Real((Level of [d]Pulverização [Doomage] for Heroi[6])))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
  • Wait 1.00 seconds
  • Unit - Cause Heroi[6] to damage (Triggering unit), dealing (20.00 x (Real((Level of [d]Pulverização [Doomage] for Heroi[6])))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
  • Wait 1.00 seconds

Edit:

Ok, I just realized that the problem is still happening, I'll fix it later.

Maybe some Trigger and Variables for run the trigger 5 times, so it can check if the unit is still in the burning area or not.

you should really read up tutorials about MUI and Leaks cleaning before making any complicated spell with triggers, your spell is not MUI and leaking, not even close to MPI. and also using wait is really bad for spells and systems, it's recommended for triggering though but you need to read MUI Triggers with Waits first. Trust me! it works.

 

[Luk3]

I'll read some tutorials in this forum.
I'm not fixing any leaks from the code and everything else, because the map is in the first version of alpha, and I'm making this way for the team could take a look at it and help me better.

I'm planning to learn how to use Hashtables (because I have no idea of what is it, but I'm searching tutorials here) and Jass.

Thanks for the help, anyway. I'll try the codes you suggest me. ^^
