[Solved] impale question

[[K40$]-Spectre]

I am making an impale ability that acts as a sort of charge like ability, doing the effects of impale + moving the caster. Spell looks decent now ingame but problem is when multiple units are going to cast it, units are disappearing .
What be the easiest way to make this impale based ability MUI in GUI ??
ps: triggering unit seems to be pointed to the impale effect , that is why I used casting unit here

doh my eyes are bleeding

Did you edit the Impale buff? If the buff doesn't have that needle-like effect, units won't be thrown into air, but will disappear instead.

I think it is not mui ? What are you gonna use it for ? I also suggest change Casting Unit to Triggering unit if I'm not mistaking . . . . . .

 

[Daffa]

It's not MUI, the variable will be overrides whenever the spell is casted again before triggers end. Use local variable instead.

It is certinly not MUI and I can see you are like trying to do Sand King's Burrow Strike skill in DotA? If yes, here is a link of a spell on how to do it: Burrow Strike 1.3

You could loop this. Waits are not accurate so timers would be better.

And there is the answer XD

Yes that's what he means because look at his triggers !!!!

 

[Binsu]

Well, the spell I linked will answer his problem then and please lessen your use of "!" because I feel that you are angry at me.

But looks like Maker is relly genius so...... his answer will mostly be the one.

I meant to say that my trigger is lacking cause it is not MUI (MUI = Multi Unit Instanceable). So the spell works fine, except when more than one units casts it. Which perfect explainable cause of all the waits and the variables. But I was wondering how this could be improved so that it becomes MUI.

Use local variable instead.

, yes this seems what I was looking for, going to try it out, thanks!

, yes that seems to be almost identical to what I want to make. The only problem is that that spell does not seem to be MUI too (TriggerHappy says that). I need it MUI.

@Maker,

local location udg_TEMP_PointChargePos

does this make the variable local? Where can you find this under configure action?

, hey don't underestimate yourself

But there is an update in the moderation so it is already MUI. =)

 

[Razer!X]

It was updated already and I'm sure it is MUI just like Hell Master said. Hope you find what you need

, sry I oversaw this. Only now that I try the spell in 88WaRCraFT3's map is does not seem to damage anything. The effects show up, the hero is moved too, but no damage is dealt :\. Also very strange that he forget to give the player enough gold/lumber to train the hero in the first place.

The local variable part is just a custom script, I think maker may have forgotten to add it.

• Custom script: local location udg_TEMP_PointChargePos

It just declares a local variable for that trigger

, this seems to remove the bug that the caster disappears when several unit cast the spell. So that is an improvement thanks. Still not castable by several units at once though (they move to the position of the first caster).

1) Calling Target point of ability being cast after a wait -> not MUI
2) You leak TEMP_PointChargePos2 several times
3) The locals need to be nulled

I updated my trigger.
