• Set location = (your point)
• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Force Of Nature (location)
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_location)

or

• Set location = (your point)
• Custom script: call IssuePointOrderLoc (GetLastCreatedUnit(), "forceofnature", udg_location)
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_location)

it gives error and disables trigger when i add the custom script

Show me the trigger. If you made a variable with a different name, then you need to add that name, after the udg_ prefix.
You can also try the first option, it does the same.

  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Force of Nature
  • Actions
    • Set location = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Force Of Nature location
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_location)

not about that SET LOCATION = (...)

Don't use last created unit, use Triggering unti

 

[meteOrain-]

it worked but i cant cast it on the ground still

You need a dummy unit to cast it for you :S
You are casting an ability and then you order the same unit to cast it? Create a dummy, give it the modified Force of Nature ability and use it the way I told you; that is why I added "Last created unit", because I believed you would do that with a dummy.

The problem is that the spell can be cast on over trees, and not on ground.
I think this is what he's asking for.

Otherwise you can use different style by creating a dummy spell for the AOE cast (Blizzard is preferable) and then use an summon spell with changed buff (ex: Summon Hawk, Summon Water Elemental) as well as changing the units for the summon spell, and use the dummy to use that summon spell.

PS: Forgot to mention that if you use the this way, you need to check the area for any tree and then destroy them (kill) in the trigger so it won't make units stuck between trees.

 

[Pharaoh_]

I thought that was obvious? If he wanted a summoning spell, there are plenty of them.

you said it had a problem when you used custom script. i'm not sure if maybe you've figured this out since then, and nobody else has said it so i will. if that is what your custom script action looks like in game as well, then remove the space between the word RemoveLocation and (udg_Location) like this

[trigger="Like This"]
Actions
Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_location)
[/trigger]

Cweener, a space between the parameter and the call won't make a difference. Try it

I did and WE got mad at me and wouldnt enable my trigger >.<

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Oh I believe it WILL make a difference because the method is called "RemoveLocation"
AND not "RemoveLocation ". I doubt we will find the method if you enter a space.
It even bugs when writing "removeLocation"...

 

[Damage]

JASS is very pissy about case-sensitivity and spaces...

 

[MortAr]

Lol, you can even have spaces between the ()'s without any errors.
For example, call RemoveLocation ( udg_location ) won't cause any errors.
