How to damage unit once

[BloodDrunk]

How do I damage enemy units once?

Like here: when the dummy comes near enemy, I want to damage the enemy only once, not 33 times...

• Mortal Soul Moving
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer TempInt) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set TempPoint = (Position of MortalSoul_Dummy[TempInt])
        • Set TempPoint2 = (TempPoint offset by 10.00 towards (Facing of MortalSoul_Dummy[TempInt]) degrees)
        • Unit - Move MortalSoul_Dummy[TempInt] instantly to TempPoint2, facing (Facing of MortalSoul_Dummy[TempInt]) degrees
        • Set TempUnitGroup = (Units within 200.00 of TempPoint matching ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and ((((Matching unit) is dead) Equal to False) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of MortalSoul_TrigUnit)) Equal to True))))
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempUnitGroup and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Unit - Cause MortalSoul_TrigUnit to damage (Picked unit), dealing MortalSoul_DealingDamage damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2)
        • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempUnitGroup)
        • Custom script: set udg_TempPoint = null
        • Custom script: set udg_TempPoint2 = null
        • Custom script: set udg_TempUnitGroup = null

You can always add a custom value after the picked unit is hit and check for the custom value in a new condition inside the loop.
You can add some invisible buff too to revert the custom value back to zero so it'll be hit once it comes near the unit again or if the abilty already is an aura just check it's buff.

oh right, the buff....
Thanks for reminding dude

this is also not MUI btw.

Not needed and also the spell is very hard to make it MUI (Atleast for me)

 

[deathismyfriend]

ok. also every spell may look different but all u have to do is break them down to the basics. once u learn that they will all be very easy to make them MUI. An alternative to only damaging the unit once, would be to damage it every time but instead of doing 200 damage a shot divide that over then length of the spell and damage them that amount. for example: u have a spell that lasts 2 seconds, u do 500 damage to them.
ur loop is .03 so about 33.3 times per second. so u will damage the units 66.6 times so take 500 diveded by 66 and u get 7.58 damage per loop period. now u dont need the thing to store units and check if they have been damaged already.

that's what I though of doing...
But shouldn't that lag PC? cuz that's pretty many actions for every unit in unit group...

 

[deathismyfriend]

it should cause lag unless there are a ton of units around the person casting it.

That is kinda often in XHS u know....
If you get introuble and then you can't kill enemies cuz you're weak and in a matter of seconds, there are ton of them

Strong PC is needed then to handle all that shit
