  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions

[Ofel]

Death Pact is an ability that target a unit not point...

• Unit - Order Caster to Undead Death Knight - Death Pact Target

 

[Shanghai]

ok thnx + rep.

But is this leak free or do i need set variable?

• Meat Hook
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Unit = (Random unit from AI_Group)
    • Unit - Order TempUnit to Undead Death Knight - Death Pact (Random unit from (Units in Arena <gen>))

it dident work :/

I want so it randomly use it for enemy in arena area.

 

[Ofel]

You leak the (Units in Arena <gen>) ...
set it in any unit group variable and destroy it

 

[Shanghai]

ok but the trigger dident work :/

 

[Ofel]

show us the all triggers that have any connection with Meat Hook trigger, or check again AI_Group and other things used in this trigger

Well, if that is all your trigger then you forgot to add the units on the AI_Group, you need to add something to it for the AI_Group to take effect as far as I know.

 

[Shanghai]

ah ok thnx mate. also how do i clean the variables? thnx alot guys.

 

[Ofel]

- The loc variable is useless
- Don't forget to store (Units in Arena Center <gen>) in a variable with type group and destroy it with "call DestroyGroup(group)"
- As hell_master said, you are picking a random unit from AI_Group, if everything seems alright, that means the AI_Group is empty

 

[Shanghai]

the ai group havent been set up can you pls help me show a little minimap or something?

and also can you show me how the trigger should look like. Mybe add a simple little minimap so i can check and thnx for help so far.

and its only for computer aswell.

 

[Ofel]

perhaps its because this:

• Set Temp_Unit = (Random unit from AI_Group)
• Unit - Order TempUnit to Undead Death Knight - Death Pact (Random unit from (Units in Arena Center <gen>))

You did set the "Temp_Unit" variable but used "TempUnit" variable (it's different), see?

How the trigger should look like

• Meat Hook
  • Events
    • Time - Every 7.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Unit = (Random unit from AI_Group)
    • Unit - Add Death Pact to Temp_Unit
    • Set Temp_Group = (Units in Arena Center <gen>)
    • Unit - Order Temp_Unit to Undead Death Knight - Death Pact (Random unit from Temp_Group)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_Group)

 

[Shanghai]

ok thnx bud.

• Use Death Pact
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Unit = (Random unit from AI_Group)
    • Set Temp_Group = (Units in Arena Center <gen>)
    • Unit - Order Temp_Unit to Undead Death Knight - Death Pact (Random unit from Temp_Group)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_Group)

i made this trigger and they still not use the spell :/ strange...

 

[deathismyfriend]

ok thnx bud.

• Use Death Pact
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Unit = (Random unit from AI_Group)
    • Set Temp_Group = (Units in Arena Center <gen>)
    • Unit - Order Temp_Unit to Undead Death Knight - Death Pact (Random unit from Temp_Group)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_Group)

i made this trigger and they still not use the spell :/ strange...

The above still leaks. You need to do this to clear all the leaks.

• Use Death Pact
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Set Temp_Unit = (Random unit from AI_Group)
    • Set Temp_Group = (Units in Arena Center <gen>)
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit - Order Temp_Unit to Undead Death Knight - Death Pact (Random unit from Temp_Group)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_Group)

If it still isn't working check to see if the unit groups are empty and display a message if they are.

 

[Shanghai]

it still doesent work they dont use the spell. and Base ID is some unsubmerge i dont know why. and also unit or target point.

I FIXED IT thnx anyway.

 

[deathismyfriend]

Did you do what i said with checking for empty unit groups ?

Are you using the Death Pact spell ? Did you alter it ?

 

[Shanghai]

yes i think the unit group is empty :/

 

[deathismyfriend]

yes i think the unit group is empty :/

That is the problem then lol.

 

[Shanghai]

how do i set it up?

 

[Shanghai]

Also both your set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true's are unnecessary.
The first one is destroying AI_Group after a unit has been chosen from it (bad, it means it'll only work once before the AI_Group is gone!).
The second is unnecessary because of the call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_Group) at the end. You should only use one or the other.

how come?

also the AI doesent work.

• SetupAIGroup
• Collapse Events
• Map initialization
• Conditions
• Collapse Actions
• Unit Group - Add YourUnitHere! to AI_Group

 

[Dr Super Good]

The AI does not use death pact as it is a move that only very experienced players can even consider using with any success. Sacrificing one unit for another is not an easy to make tactical decision. Since the AI in WC3 is kind of poor, it was not designed to make such decisions so was not programed to ever cast the ability. Same applies for the Lich's equivalent.

 

[pOke]

it still doesent work they dont use the spell. and Base ID is some unsubmerge i dont know why. and also unit or target point.

You're using channel? If so unsubmerge cannot be the baseorderid because the original submerge ability is an instant cast with no target ...

How can you cast death pact on a point? iirc you sacrifice a unit to get its hp back....

Look at abilities that are typical for unit only targeting...such as frost nova and use that as the base order id, or just use the regular death pact ability.

 

[Chaosy]

send me the map.

 

[Chaosy]

fixed. He had the wrong order id in the object editor. He had "unsubmerge" instead of deathpact

 

[Shanghai]

oh thnx. what spell is unsubmerge so it works now?

 

[Chaosy]

change it to deathpact and youre done

 

[Shanghai]

i tested he still doesent throw the spell for some reason :/

 

[Chaosy]

because there is no target to throw on. But you can see that it tries to cast by looking at the spell icon

 

[Shanghai]

hmm how do i make it throw the spell? change combat range on hero?

 

[Chaosy]

maybe place out some enemy? lol

 

[Shanghai]

but there is enemys. AI computer. i tested it with unserbmerge > death pact playing vs computer and still no throw ?

 

[Chaosy]

there is no enemies. You remove them unless theyre players.

 

[Shanghai]

where do i remove them? how to fix?

 

[Chaosy]

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) slot status) Not equal to Is playing)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game

Melee Initialization trigger, you should really know this

 

[Shanghai]

is it possible to make this trigger if not equal computer because i need this trigger for multiboard. how do i make such trigger?

 

[Shanghai]

And btw i need unsubmerge for the spell to work. how do i fix the ai then?

 

[Dr Super Good]

And btw i need unsubmerge for the spell to work. how do i fix the ai then?

Object editor abilities generally use either a constant order id (most abilities) or what ever order ID you specify (Channel). In the case of Channel you can simply change the order ID to something that does work.

 

[Shanghai]

I tested to use death pact as AI spell and they do not still throw this blade. And i dont know how to fix this. can some one just have a look at the map and fix?

so now finaly fixed it on my own. thnx anyway.

 

[pOke]

Mind explaining why you want/need the base order id to unsubmerge ? And how you "fixed" it?

 

[Shanghai]

the spell used unsubmerge as ID. i changed that ID in the spell. it was an unsubmerge ID in the spell i saw. its why it dident work and now i changed it to death pact instead. and its working. PERFECT!
