Locusted units Bugs

NBalfa · May 18, 2014

I have been working on a chaos knight (a slightly different version of the original one in DotA) "request" recently. It involves creating locusted illusions with his passive skill while the real thing is in moving them with the reality rift (based exactly on the original one). so to select these illusions, i hide them, order the remove locust order(through custom script) and unhide them (the reason behind this is to select them through the: units within range of point command).
The units are being moved properly that way but there is a bug/glitch where there appears 1 more illusion dying close to the position of the locusted units (this glich does not always happen but i would say that you can see that at about 60% of the times) so does anyone know how to fix this one?

Post the triggers.

NBalfa · May 18, 2014

Done.
Check the triggers inside the Reality rift "folder".
The problem lies in the first trigger, and it uses units created by the Chaos Strike Folder.
I dont care much about leaks right now(nor does the person that is to get the map in the end) as the purpose of it, is some kind of presentation/explanation
you can see the discription of the Chaos Strike here
Some triggers inside the Reality Rift Folder might or might not be used later on depending on the way that you are going to fix this problem.
also i have set the chance on chaos strike to 100% for testing purposes so do not put more than 1 point into this skill as it can easily cause some problems.
with esc you can reset all your abilities cooldowns as well as get full hp/mp.

Would you mind to post triggers? It's some easier to look at triggers, because we don't have to download the whole map. (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/miscellaneous-tutorials-456/how-easily-post-triggers-163285/)

Also I understand you right? You hide unit, remove locust, unhide unit. And after this one nearby illusion dies?
Anyway, if it's something like this I would check any other possible mistaks in other parts of your trigger(s). Maybe you made a mistake somewhere.

ok will post the triggers.

also there isnt a nearby illusion that dies, it is just more like the effect of the illusion death spawns next to the illusion that gets moved. (also this doesnt always happen)

also i dont think that the mistake is in the rest of the triggers though you can have a look at em if you want to

IcemanBo · May 23, 2014

So nothing dies, but there is the death animation of an illusion?

NBalfa · May 23, 2014

pretty much yes

Ceday · May 25, 2014

If you are doing this for range checking, you are checking range in a weird hard way.Use this:

Distance between (Position of illusion) and (Position of Reality_Rift_Caster) less than or equal to 1200

It is under real comparasion > math.

NBalfa · May 25, 2014

oh damn i though that i couldnt get the position of the locusted illusion either.
anyways thanks
: though the visual bug i have encountered is quite interesting. It would be nice if someone makes some use/tests with it to see its "exact" origin and maybe ways to abuse it
