[Trigger] Losing control of unit for a short period of time?

[Nackel]

• Events
  • Time - Every 3.00 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 350.00 of FEARTRAP matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) is an enemy of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set loc = (Position of (Picked unit))
      • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Move To (loc offset by (-300.00, (Facing of (Picked unit))))

I'm trying to make it so that when the unit gets "Feared" you can't control it for about 3 seconds, and maybe adding a buff on the Feared units if possible.
I don't know.

So why you don't only switch Unit-Owner from Player X to Neutral Player or Player 12 or whatever?

Yeah that's the best idea.

Buy you can't choose neutral as the "move to" won't work with neutral I think.

Just choose player 12.

This would work well if i could figure out how to only have the units ownership changed for 3 seconds, any ideas?

 

[Cokemonkey11]

local unit u = (unit)
change ownereship of u
trigger sleep (3)
change ownership of u

Ah i have used an AoE fear spell in my map i used it like this way:

Main Trigger

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Howl of Terror
• Actions
  • Set HowlofTerrorPoint = (Position of (Casting Unit))
  • Region - Center HowlofTerrorGroup on HowlofTerrorPoint
  • Comment - HowlofTerrorGroup is a rather huge region used for ordering the units.
  • Unit - Create 1 Dummy (Modified Silence) for (Owner of (Casting Unit)) at HowlofTerrorPoint facing Default building degrees
  • Set Dummy = (Last created unit)
  • Unit - Set level of Disable for Dummy to (Level of Howl of Terror For (Casting unit))
  • Comment - Disable ability is made from silence, the AoE needs to be same with the Howl of Terror's AoE so it won't disable unnecessary units (It disables melee/ranged/spells/specials)
  • Unit - Order Dumym to Neutral Dark Ranger - Silence HowlofTerrorPoint
  • Unit - Remove Dummy from the game
  • Set HoTGroup = (Units within 525.00 of HowlofTerrorPoint matching (((Matching unit ) has buff Fear) Equal to True))
• Comment - The buff is from the Howl of Terror or from the silence and the range should not be less than the max AoE on the spells.
  • Trigger - Run Fleeing in Terror <gen> (Checking conditions)
• Countdown Timer - Start HowlOfTerrorTimer as a Reapeating timer that will expire in 2 seconds.
  • Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_HowlofTerrorPoint)

Run Trigger

• Events
  • Time - HowlOfTerrorTimer expires
• Actions
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in HoTGroup and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • ((Picked unit) has buff Fear) Equal to True
        • Then - Actions
          • Set HowlofTerrorPoint = (Random point in HowlofTerrorGroup)
          • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Move To HowlofTerrorPoint
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_HowlofTerrorPoint)
        • Else - Actions
          • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_HoTGroup)
          • Countdown Timer - Pause HowlOfTerrorTimer

That has been working pretty fine with me. it orders every 2 seconds the unit to go somewhere in the region.
And i think changing to Neutral Hostile wouldn't be that bad idea? you just need to detect into a variable what unit belongs to what player and then when the buff is worn off it changes the ownership back to real owner.

Note: i use this trigger on my campaign so i made it only for single player, computers won't do much than run away with their unit when they cannot do anything else, but move.

(TRIGGER)
Events
Unit - Unit is attacked
Conditions
((Attacking unit) is equal to A Hero) Equal to True
Actions
Trigger - This is Trigger
(/TRIGGER)

you simply write them in a TRIGGER tag. Change the "(" with "[" and ")" with "]" so it becomes "[ TRIGGER ]" (without the spaces).

Sample

• Events
  • Unit - Unit is attacked
• Conditions
  • ((Attacking unit) is equal to A Hero) Equal to True
• Actions
  • Trigger - This is Trigger
