Ok im VERRY new to jass and im trying something but it dosent seem to work :(

So how can i make this work??

I did:
  • Kaboom
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Suicide Bomb
    • Actions
      • Custom script: local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
      • Custom script: local location Kaboom
      • Wait 2.00 seconds
      • Custom script: set Kaboom = GetUnitLoc( u )
      • Custom script: set udg_Group = GetUnitsInRangeOfLocMatching(500.00, Kaboom, Condition(function Trig_Kaboom_Func011002003))
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Group and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
      • Custom script: set u = null
Hows how it looks in Converted Text
JASS:
function Trig_Kaboom_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A000' ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_Kaboom_Func012002003 takes nothing returns boolean
    return ( IsUnitEnemy(GetFilterUnit(), GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit())) == true )
endfunction

function Trig_Kaboom_Func013A takes nothing returns nothing
endfunction

function Trig_Kaboom_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
    local location Kaboom
    call PlaySoundBJ( udg_Lalalalalala[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))] )
    call TriggerSleepAction( 2.00 )
    call CameraSetEQNoiseForPlayer( GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()), 8.00 )
    call CreateNUnitsAtLoc( 1, 'h000', GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()), GetRectCenter(GetPlayableMapRect()), bj_UNIT_FACING )
    call UnitApplyTimedLifeBJ( 4.00, 'BTLF', GetLastCreatedUnit() )
    call AddSpecialEffectLocBJ( GetRectCenter(GetPlayableMapRect()), "Objects\\Spawnmodels\\Other\\NeutralBuildingExplosion\\NeutralBuildingExplosion.mdl" )
    call DestroyEffectBJ( GetLastCreatedEffectBJ() )
    set Kaboom = GetUnitLoc( u )
    set udg_Group = GetUnitsInRangeOfLocMatching(500.00, Kaboom, Condition(function Trig_Kaboom_Func011002003))
    set udg_Group = GetUnitsInRangeOfLocMatching(500.00, GetRectCenter(GetPlayableMapRect()), Condition(function Trig_Kaboom_Func012002003))
    call ForGroupBJ( udg_Group, function Trig_Kaboom_Func013A )
    call TriggerSleepAction( 1.50 )
    call CameraClearNoiseForPlayer( GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) )
    set u = null
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Kaboom takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Kaboom = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Kaboom, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_CAST )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Kaboom, Condition( function Trig_Kaboom_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Kaboom, function Trig_Kaboom_Actions )
endfunction

Would be nice if someone told me why
JASS:
set udg_Group = GetUnitsInRangeOfLocMatching(500.00, Kaboom, Condition(function Trig_Kaboom_Func011002003))
Does not work.

[+] if someone knew how to make a local group and do the things that i wanted to do, plz post it :).

Thx

I think the problem is that Trig_Kaboom_Func012002003 does not detect 'GetTriggerUnit()' anymore.
Instead of using 'ForGroupBJ' and 'GetUnitsInRangeOfLocMatching' you should make loops for both events. this way you avoid that 'GetTriggerUnit' bug like this:

JASS:
function mytrigger takes nothing returns nothing
local unit u=GetTriggerUnit()
local unit x
local group g=CreateGroup()
local group h=CreateGroup()
local location kaboom

//some code
call TriggerSleepAction(2.) // The wait function that causes the GetTriggerUnit()-error

set kaboom=GetUnitLoc(u)
set g=GetUnitsInRangeOfLocAll(500.,kaboom)
loop
    set x=FirstOfGroup(g)
    exitwhen x==null
    if IsUnitEnemy(x,GetOwningPlayer(u)) and GetUnitState(x,UNIT_STATE_LIFE)>0 then
        call GroupAddUnit(h,x)
    endif
    call GroupRemoveUnit(g,x)    
endloop
call DestroyGroup(g)
// now all units that are in group h are living enemys in 500 range of your unit, now do with them what you want
loop
    set x=FirstOfGroup(h)
    exitwhen x==null
    //actions with each unit
    call GroupRemoveUnit(h,x)
endloop
call DestroyGroup(h)
call RemoveLocation(kaboom)
set h=null
set g=null
set u=null
set kaboom=null
endfunction

And here some tips to improve your code:

JASS:
//locations leak, because of that use
call RemoveLoaction(kaboom) // and
set kaboom=null // so it doesnt leak anymore
in my script you see other things that leak, e.g. a group. next thing is this trigger

JASS:
function Trig_Kaboom_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A000' ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

if you look closely you recognize that you can rewrite it to a faster way:
JASS:
function Trig_Kaboom_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A000'
endfunction

another hint are nearly all BJ-functions WE uses when you convert things. for example
JASS:
call UnitApplyTimedLifeBJ( 4.00, 'BTLF', GetLastCreatedUnit() )
just makes this
JASS:
function UnitApplyTimedLifeBJ takes real duration, integer buffId, unit whichUnit returns nothing
    call UnitApplyTimedLife(whichUnit, buffId, duration)
endfunction
so you could write
JASS:
call UnitApplyTimedLife(GetLastCreatedUnit(),'BTLF',4.)
This is a faster way.

That's all i can tell you for now. I don't have more time.
