Is something wrong with this trigger? cause
when i pause the unit and make it invulnerable its all ok
but when its the time to unpause and make the unit vunerable its just doesn't
it seems to me the wait action is causing this problem to the trigger
cause when i remove wait it works fine.

this will fix your problem,
you cannot have waits in ForGroup loops.
you could do this more efficiently by picking all destructibles within 200 of the caster.

Well, you -can- do it, though you have to use the MUI Wait method in the tutorial we have, which I would recommend to you on the grounds that the actual wait function is very inaccurate (it varies itself greatly): http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/mui-triggers-waits-218354/

 

[manasou]

Ender your trigger didnt work i tried many other things based on what you told me (including 2 trigger solution) but nothing.. if you could test the trigger it would be really great..thanks for your help so far

Tank-Commander I dont think i m ready to gui but i ll check it..also accuracy its not that important for that perticular ability

 

[Tank-Commander]

Well since it isn't working regardless of that solution I'd suggest this: At the start of the trigger call a custom script:

• Custom script: local unit caster = (triggering unit)

then use that as your ref point rather than (casting unit) though it's a bit late at night for my brain to be in gear to see any other problems that might exist.

 

[defskull]

Custom script: local unit caster = (triggering unit)

Don't you mean GetTriggerUnit() ? ;p

 

[edo494]

there is problem with wait in triggers, nothing except TriggeringUnit will survive wait so everything will return null

 

[defskull]

okay, WHAT EXACTLY YOU'RE TRYING TO DO ?

If you can give me a full explanation on what you want to do, I can reconstruct your trigger and make it MUI.

Come on tell me, what do you want to do ? (full explanation with detail)

 

[Tank-Commander]

Late at night when I said that, gimmme a break, still half right anyway though

 

[manasou]

wtf is MUI?

WHAT EXACTLY YOU'RE TRYING TO DO ?

Well... i want when i cast my spell to pick all the destructbles of a type and then pick every unit in 200 range of my chosen destructble and if picked unit is my casting unit then pick every unit in 200 range of my casting unit, and if picked unit is an enemy do nothing else do pause casting unit/make casting unit invunrable WAIT 1 sec then unpause casting unit/make casting unit vunrable

now i am also confused..

 

[edo494]

MUI(I dont know exactly how it is called in normal form (hope you undestand what I mean)) is basically when a unit casts spell and you have for instance wait in the trigger then if another unit casts it it will not get override but it will work for both. Basically it means that any number of units(teoretically) can cast it at the same time and it will not bug out

Basically what you want, is if your Caster is near any trees, you would Pause and make your Caster Invulnerable for 1 second, then Unpause it and remove Invulnerable ?

 

[manasou]

That wont happed in my game cause its single player and no other unit than the main hero will use that ability

Yes only you forgot if any enemy is in 200 range of casting unit then do nothing

 

[manasou]

well defskull i see your here from 2008 maybe it happens to have a well known model from Dionesiist the imperial assasin cloak (i have the hood).. i search for that model and i cant find it anywhere maybe the dude have delete it or something..

 

[defskull]

Try this test map.

Since you just use this ability for 1 Player, I don't make it MUI.

[SOLVED]
Thanks dude
lol its working only with the ability berserk
(damn and i had it booked for my jump ability :S i guess i ll found another match)
