[General] How to pick each unit in line or like fire breath?

[HammerFist132]

I was thinking something like to pick units in range from point athen set point a in from of where i was before and just repeat action until I finish full long of line, something same like for picking uunits like for breath of fire pick first in big cicrcle in mid and then smaller circles on side until I get all units,
BUT is there betteer way.

First, you pick every unit in range of the spell.
Then, out of those picked units, you pick every unit that is within a certain angle of the hero.
To do this, you compare the angle between the hero and the test unit with the angle between the hero and the target point, adjusting for how big an angle you want.

It would be something like this:

• Carrion Swarm
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Carrion Swarm
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Group = (Units within 400.00 of (Position of (Casting unit)) matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Temp_Group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Caster = (Position of (Casting unit))
        • Set Picked = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Set Temp_Point = (Target point of ability being cast)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Angle from Caster to Picked) Less than or equal to ((Angle from Caster to Temp_Point) + 30.00)
            • (Angle from Caster to Picked) Greater than or equal to ((Angle from Caster to Temp_Point) - 30.00)
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing ((Real((Agility of (Casting unit) (Include bonuses)))) x 5.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
          • Else - Actions
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Caster)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Picked)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Temp_Group)

But try doing it yourself first.

PS: Oh my, quotes doesnt count even for single character

You still need to adjust for when close to 360 degrees.

Here's how my footman defend works:

• Defend Actual
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set tempLoc1 = (Position of DamageEventTarget)
    • Set tempLoc2 = (Position of DamageEventSource)
    • -------- check angle --------
    • Set defendArc = (70.00 + (20.00 x (Real((Level of Defend for DamageEventTarget)))))
    • Set defendArc = (defendArc x 0.50)
    • Set defendFacing = (Facing of DamageEventTarget)
    • Set defendSource = (Angle from tempLoc2 to tempLoc1)
    • Set defendSource = (defendSource + 180.00)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • And - All (Conditions) are true
              • Conditions
                • (defendFacing - defendSource) Less than or equal to defendArc
                • (defendFacing - defendSource) Greater than or equal to (defendArc x -1.00)
            • (defendFacing - defendSource) Greater than or equal to (360.00 - defendArc)
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- get damage reduction --------
        • Set DamageEventAmount = (DamageEventAmount x (0.70 - (0.10 x (Real((Level of Defend for DamageEventTarget))))))
        • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads blocked above DamageEventTarget with Z offset 0.00, using font size 6.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
        • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 96.00 towards 90.00 degrees
        • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
        • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds
        • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 0.75 seconds
      • Else - Actions
    • -------- clean leaks --------
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempLoc1)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempLoc2)
