[Trigger] How can I make this spell do the kill go to the caster?

[Dinodin]

Hi there. I have a problem with a sleep spell which should cause an enemy unit to lose the level of the spell % it's maximum helath but the problem is that the kill does not go the the caster if the enemy unit dies of it. Is there any way to do it? Here is the triggers for the spell.

• Sleep
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Sleep (Grima)
  • Actions
    • Hashtable - Save ((Level of Sleep (Grima) for (Casting unit)) x 5) as 0 of (Key (Target unit of ability being cast)) in Sleep_hashtable
    • Unit Group - Add (Target unit of ability being cast) to Sleeping_units
    • Set Sleep_damage = (((Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit)) x (Integer((Max life of (Target unit of ability being cast))))) / 100)
    • Set Sleep_caster = (Triggering unit)

• Sleep Loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Sleeping_units and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Sleep_time = (Load 0 of (Key (Picked unit)) from Sleep_hashtable)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Sleep_time Greater than 0
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) - (Real(Sleep_damage)))
            • Hashtable - Save (Sleep_time - 1) as 0 of (Key (Picked unit)) in Sleep_hashtable
          • Else - Actions
            • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from Sleeping_units
            • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child (Key (Picked unit)) in Sleep_hashtable
            • Unit - Cause Sleep_caster to damage (Picked unit), dealing 0.01 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

• Unit - Cause Sleep_caster to damage (Picked unit), dealing 0.01 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

Can't you do the same in place of your Set unit life function, just replace the .01 with Sleep_damage?

You can also do:

• If - Conditions
  • Sleep_time Greater than 0
• Then - Actions
  • If - Conditions
    • (Life of (Picked unit)) Greater than Sleep_damage
  • Then - Actions
    • Set Unit life to...
  • Else - Actions
    • Unit - Cause Sleep_caster to damage (Picked unit), dealing (Sleep_damage) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
• Else - Actions

I also suggest you strore your damage and caster into the hashtable. Else, if some other unit owned by someone else casts the same spell, the damage will change to the level of the ability for that unit and that unit will be the one to get credit for anytime the spell kills a unit.

Well could u please fix this to me? I really suck with triggering. There also one more problem with this spell. It still makes the target lose it's hit point a period after the sleep buff is gone :/

Is the ability actually based on the sleep ability?

Yes it is..

 

[Maker]

Save the damage and casting unit to hashtable, use them the same way you use the time.

Could please help me. I know nothing about hashtable..

 

[Maker]

• Save Sleep_Damage as (Key damage) for (Target unit of ability being cast) in Sleep_hashtable
• Save (Triggering unit) as (Key caster) for (Target unit of ability being cast) in Sleep_hashtable

When you want to deal damage, then load that "damage" from the hashtable. Also load "caster".

I use String ID's rather than Handle ID's for saving things. Like "Save *something* as (Key damage)... rather than "Save *something* as 0 ...

Did u both fix so the kill goes to the caster if the unit dies of the spell and make it stop damage the target when the sleep buff is removed?

 

[Beast(TrOg)]

Yes I did.

 

[Dinodin]

Yes I did.

Nice! Can u make it to work in my map becase it crash when I tries :/ I'll send map if you want.
