Nothing is wrong. The definition of wrong means it must violate specified behaviour. Since you did not specify any it cannot violate any and thus cannot be wrong.

What is the trigger meant to do? What does it do instead? You tired insterting debug messages to see where it goes wrong?

 

[jot0017]

Well, its supposed to make a sand explosion at a random unit position, then it entangles him. The explosion appears but the entanglement doesn't (sorry, bad english). The dummy skill has no mana and no cooldown btw.

 

[Super Pingwin]

Did you set range of the entangling roots ability to a couple thousand to ensure it isn't a range problem ?

Something else you could try : simply put the Entangling Roots spell in the Boss_Dummy unit's spells in the Object Editor instead of adding it through triggers, could be the problem.

Lastly, I don't like cooldowns set to 0, try setting it to something like 1, that too could work.

 

[jot0017]

It's 700 so, i dont think thats a problem

 

[Super Pingwin]

I edited my first post, try that out.

 

[jot0017]

Mmm, i think setting the cooldown may be a problem cuz it could entangle many unit, and I'll try making a separate dummy for the boss
EDIT: Yupe you are right, i didnt thought about the spawn for every unit

 

[Super Pingwin]

Your spell creates one dummy for each entangled unit, therefore increasing the cooldown won't be a problem.

 

[jot0017]

Nope, nothing yet, thanks for helping but

 

[Super Pingwin]

Make sure the spell you created works on heroes, I think (can't remember though) that Entangling Roots checks for Resistant Skin so maybe that could be the problem.

Something else you could try is dropping the Boss_Dummy variable and using instead "Last Created Unit", it could overwrite itself when entangling multiple people.

 

[jot0017]

But what if i use a spell with a dummy and screws up with that?

 

[Super Pingwin]

It won't ^^

If my understanding of triggers is correct, stuff like "Last Created Unit" doesn't get overwritter by other "Last Created Unit"s from other functions. Same goes for Triggering Unit, Attacking Unit, etc

 

[jot0017]

Okey, i have followed all of your advices, and nothing, i think there is something wrong with the order or the unit picking

 

[Super Pingwin]

Okay ...

Create an integer variable with a base value of 1. Make the array of your Boss_TempLoc equal to that variable, and within your "Picked Unit" loop, add a function:
Set Array_Variable = Array_Variable + 1

Also, try adding your Entangle Spell to a footman in the Object Editor and try it on a Neutral Hostile Hero, to see if the spell itself works from a manaless, non-hero caster

 

[jot0017]

Im sorry to say it super penguin, but i did that already, and nothing happened, maybe if i send you the map could you see the problem i dont see?

 

[Super Pingwin]

Sure

 

[jot0017]

lol i didnt saw the 2nd page of the thread, wait a few minutes and i upload it thanks for your constant help dude +rep my friend
http://depositfiles.com/files/wl0st9jh6 here's the map

 

[Super Pingwin]

No problem man, I just wish my help would be of any use

 

[deathismyfriend]

whenever u upload a map use this site to upload it tht way if tht site goes down it can still be accessed by the members on here

 

[jot0017]

Okey thanks! btw you saw any solution, (Just in case you tried the map)

 

[Super Pingwin]

I can't open your map, says "trigger - firstofgroup does not exist"

... I started using NewGen WE yesterday, been having these kind of issues ever since, eh. But it's my only choice, I hit the doodad limit on project valley D:

 

[Dr Super Good]

I cannot open the map either, you must be using a non-standard version of WorldEdit. As such there is a high chance the problem is the result of the editor you are using.

 

[jot0017]

Mmmm, my version is 1.26a, and i installed JNGP but i use the regular WE
