How to make whisps cast a spell on sight?

[Hordeon]

How to make all whisps to use the Detonate spell on sight automatically (AI powered)?

I'm creating Survival/RPG. so I'll need that. It would be really cool and something new Like wandering whisps around, and then trying to detonate.

• Set Temp_Point = [your point]
• Unit - Order [your wisp] to Night Elf Wisp - Detonate Temp_Point
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point)

 

[Hordeon]

I need all whisps to do that automatically without triggering single whisp. It should be on sight like 600aoe sight.

then make check that the unit - unit type is equal to Wisp
and do the action
simple . just add an if statement

 

[Hordeon]

what about the Event?

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set temppoint = YOUR POINT
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 600.00 of temppoint matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Wisp)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set temppoint2 = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Night Elf Wisp - Detonate temppoint2
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint2)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint)

N00000! **** I'm asking, how to make whisps to cast a spell when THEY SIGHT SOMEONE, AS THE EXAMPLE - random idiotic hero! and then comes near him and detonates!

You could use "unit acquires a target" event. Make acquisition range same as sightrange. Make a hidden attack for wisps, then remove it and order to use hidden detonate ability on the target.

but it would make a single unit to do that. I wanna that to be like - FOR EVERY WHISP ON THE MAP! It'll be rpg, man, cmon Imagine -

you came to the forest, full of wandering spirits, you can try to walk throughout those, but if you will come too near, those will detonate and absorb mana.

Idea: in the forest will be other creeps too, who will attack, so XP farming will be more difficult!

Acquires a target works on units with attack, if I recall.
I'd be using comes in range of unit. You'll need a hashtable for this.

What about this:

• detonate
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Neutral Hostile of type Wisp) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set p = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Set p = (Position of (Random unit from (Units within 500.00 of p matching ((((Owner of (Matching unit)) is an enemy of Neutral Hostile) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True)))))
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Night Elf Wisp - Detonate p
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_p)

kk this is better

Using loops is better ? Seriously?

Try download this test map.

I'd go for Pharaoh_'s suggestion >>> unit in range is better than loops...
