[Trigger] Lightning effects

[Squiggy]

Urr yeah,
isn't it possible to make lightning effects work like special effects?
When you remove special effects using

• Custom script: call DestroyEffect(udg_tempeffect)

, they play their death anim.
But if I use

• Lightning - Create a 'chainlightning' primary lightning effect from source tmppt[0] to target tmppt[1]
• Set templightning = (last created lightning effect)
• Custom script: call DestroyLightning(udg_templightning)

it surely gets destroyed at once but doesn't appear.

Now my question is in particular, can I get lightning effects to stay a time on the map?

(Please don't come up with 'abilities aka chainlightning', this is just for curiosity)

Pie will be given..

Delicious Pie

i would be interested in how to work with lightnings as well, because i never did before ^^

anyway you could check paladons chainlightning sys...

he uses lightnings

This is like creating a unit then removing it.

Lightnings dont die, they are just removed.


Try using some timer system or fading to make the lightnings stay on the map




Now, GIVE ME PIE!

 

[Palaslayer]

can i have pie too? O.O

• Custom script: local lightning lightE
• Lightning - Create a Chain Lightning - Primary lightning effect from source tmppt[0] to target tmppt[1])
• Custom script: set lightE = GetLastCreatedLightningBJ()
• Wait 1.50 game-time seconds
• Custom script: call DestroyLightningBJ(lightE)

Well , by using local variable..

You can also try to create 2 dummy:
A : locust with life drain ability . without attack ability.
B : without locust ability , instant paused after create , neutral passive unit , size = 0.00 scale value.

create A at source , B at target point .Order A to life drain B and hide B instantly.

Ok, first of all; BJ's are stupid, they just fuck up Wc3 and using waits is not that good
But hey, you're learning Jass right?

 

[Squiggy]

I am.. concerned with the issues of waits so far.. but please, can we get back to topic?

 

[fattyghost]

Well , can't consider learning , JASS needed in quite a number of triggering .
Hence , a little knowledge in JASS in needed.

Wait game-time is ok , i think . since it is follow the game time .
BJ suck Then use :

• Custom script: call DestroyLightning(lightE)
