Remove the Pause/Unpause operations.

 

[venger07]

Putting wait inside a 0.03 per second ... this is very very very wrong..
on your first trigger create a REAL variable >>this is for replacing the WAIT action!!!

• add this on your first trigger
• set - Meteor_Height = 1000
• set - Meteor_Speed = 10

and make sure to put the Height before turning on the 2nd trigger...
also remove the unpause Madara_Caster 2 in the first trigger because I think you're channeling the meteor?? so I put it on the 2nd trigger

  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set - Meteor_Height = Meteor_Height - Meteor_Speed

      • if conditions
        • (Meteor_Height) is Less than or equal to 0
      • then - actions
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        • Set - Madara_Point_6 = Position of Madara_Dummy_2
        • Unit - Unpause Madara_Caster_2

        • Unit - Create 1 Nuclear Explosion for (Owner of Madara_Caster_2) at Madara_Point_6 facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees

I don't think they've caught the problem. I think the problem is that you remove MandaraPoint5 in the original trigger. This destroys that point. This means in your repeat trigger, you cannot use MandaraPoint5:

• Set Madara_Point_6 = (Madara_Point_5 offset by 256.00 towards Madara_Angel_2 degrees)

This Mandara_Point_5 will reference a non-existent point. You'll need to hold on to that point and RemoveLocation the point only after the spell is done.

^His problem is:

i want to create a dummy at the position of my area i tried it with point of abbility being cast but i didnt worked

If he removes pause/unpause it will/should work, that he creates a unit onCast.
Because like now "TargetPointOfAbilityBeingCast" won't work properly iirc with unit being paused.

 

[venger07]

Basically the unit is successfully created ...unfortunately the 2nd trigger moves the dummy

• Set Madara_Point_6 = (Madara_Point_5 offset by 256.00 towards Madara_Angel_2 degrees)
• -------- - --------
• Unit - Move Madara_Dummy_2 instantly to Madara_Point_6

So.. he won't be able to see the dummy in the targetpoint because he moved it 256 offset from the targetpoint in every 0.03 seconds..
as darwin said...there is no reference for Madara_Point_5 so it will be referenced in the center of playable map area..

 

[IcemanBo]

How do you know that he successfully creates the unit at correct location? If the target points would not work, so the unit would directly be created in centre of map.

 

[venger07]

^ok, let me try to do that in weditor...

[edit]: you we're correct.. But I did only say that the unit is successfully created ... :3

 

[Warcraft_3]
