Making a spell activate after you deactivate a other spell

[wrath bringer]

Hi everyone
Can someone please help me
You see I want to make it that if I deactivate Immolation, It will release fire spell around the caster and it will make the enemy's around the caster get fire damage.

If you need more detail tell me.
This is my first thread so I dont really know how to ask this, or what info I must get

You can catch the order like so:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit is issued an order with no target
• Conditions
  • (issued order) equal to unimmolate
  • (Level of (your immolate ability) for (triggering unit)) greater than 0
• Actions
  • -------- Do your explosion here --------

The event will not fire if the unit runs out of mana or otherwise passively deactivates immolation.

 

[wrath bringer]

Thanks I will try that now

 

[wrath bringer]

dont seem to get the conditions right
cant find the things..this may take longer then I planned, will just need to search through everything in till I get it
unimmolate is well hidden, or I am just not looking right

 

[LordDz]

It's a string, as in text. You have to write it yourself.

 

[wrath bringer]

Is this right?

• 
  Events
  • 
    
    Unit - A unit is issued an order with no target
• 
  Conditions
  • 
    
    (Issued order) Equal to (==) (unimmolation)
  • 
    
    (Level of Immolation for (Triggering unit)) Greater than (>) 0

 

[Pyrogasm]

It's literally unimmolate not unimmolation.

 

[wrath bringer]

Oh sorry, I changed it back to unimmolate
So it is now right?
just add the explosion in the actions and I am done?

 

[Pyrogasm]

yep

 

[wrath bringer]

I get this

Line 115: Undeclared variable unimmolate
Line 115: Comparing two variables of different primitive types (except real and integer) is not allowed

 

[Pyrogasm]

Maybe string comparison: "String(Issued order) equal to "unimmolate"?

 

[Kaijyuu]

Order IDs are secretly integers. Unimmolate's ID is 852178, if google can be trusted. Compare Issued Order to that.

 

[Pyrogasm]

Not every integer order has a equivalent string order, but every string order has an integer. You can check the order string for things that HAVE an order string, which unimmolate does.

 

[wrath bringer]

Thanks, I dont know what you are talking about but I will google everything
-Thanks again

 

[Pyrogasm]

I tried it myself and I guess there's no way to get the issued order into an integer comparison. I was wrong that it could be detected with the "unimmolate" order, so I had to do this:

• GUI
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: if GetIssuedOrderId() == 852178 then
    • -------- Do your stuff here --------
    • Custom script: endif

 

[wrath bringer]

Thanks you very much. I am opening the world editor right now

 

[Dehua_Darbuya]

Is this right?

• 
  Events
  • 
    
    Unit - A unit is issued an order with no target
• 
  Conditions
  • 
    
    (Issued order) Equal to (==) (unimmolation)
  • 
    
    (Level of Immolation for (Triggering unit)) Greater than (>) 0

It's literally unimmolate not unimmolation.

This is incorrect; the order string is in fact "unimmolation." His trigger also fails because he didn't convert the string into an order.


The following example works as intended and will display "unimmolation" when the order is given.

• Unimmolation
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(unimmolation))
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Issued order)))

 

[wrath bringer]

Cool, I will try it both ways..
Will report back tonight

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

• Unimmolation
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(unimmolation))
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Issued order)))

I just tried that trig.... it doesn't work

Hasn't anyone ever solved this problem before?

If you guys don't solve it, I'm claiming bragging rights for life!!!! and if I don't solve it

EPIC BRAGGING RIGHTS to however can


PERFECT I SOLVED IT FIRST!!!!!!

Bad news ThelordofChaos but this works, so you will not be the first. Thanks @Pyrogasm you are awesome
@TheLordOfChaos201 try his trigger it works perfect for the timing. I did not test it with a complete spell, but with a quick trigger to test if it works.

Hope me luck guys. I am struggling so that the spell does not dmg and kill me xD
poor demon Hunter died 11 time because of his own spell LOLZ

Don't use triggers like "A unit Is issued an order", because when Immolation fades while hero is out of mana and you wouldn't get an action you want. Here is a template for you which allows to do action while hero cancelled it without your order.
In this map Demon Hunter has low mana and the hero had to cancel it without your order.
If you are using "A unit Is issued an order", then in this case trigger wouldn't see it.

 

[wrath bringer]

Lol and they all wen BOOM

Thanks man I am happy that you made a map to show me. That is just awesome
It works great yay

 

[Pyrogasm]

Here are triggers from the map:

Hidden

• EVERY 001
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set temp_group = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in temp_group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) has buff IMMOLATION) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Level of Dummy Spell 0 for (Picked unit)) Equal to 0
              • Then - Actions
                • Unit - Add Dummy Spell 0 to (Picked unit)
              • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Level of Dummy Spell 0 for (Picked unit)) Greater than 0
              • Then - Actions
                • Unit - Remove Dummy Spell 0 from (Picked unit)
                • Set temp_unit = (Picked unit)
                • Trigger - Run DO ACTION <gen> (checking conditions)
              • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup( udg_temp_group )

• DO ACTION
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- ENTER HERE ACTION (TRIGGERING UNIT IS temp_unit) --------
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads BOOM above temp_unit with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
    • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 3.00 seconds
    • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds

1. This method will work, but IMO it's not good coding practice. First off 0.01 seconds is far too quick, and too many concurrent low-timeout timers can be a real pain; generally speaking you never want to put a periodic timer below ~0.0325, which is about 30 runs per second. In this case you could get away with 0.25 or 0.5 seconds with no real downside.
2. No reason to track which units using a dummy ability; it's better to just use a unit group and check if the unit is in the group. Additionally you did not disable the dummy ability for all players at map init so it would have been visible on the units.
3. Always avoid "every X seconds... pick all units in playable map area" if you can; in this case we can again filter the number of units we have to check by making a trigger to automatically add the correct units to a different group and loop through them every time the trigger runs.

I re-wrote the code to be (IMO) better:

• Register
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(immolation))
    • (Level of Immolation for (Triggering unit)) Greater than 0
    • ((Triggering unit) is in Immo_Group) Equal to False
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to Immo_Group
• Per Second
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.25 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Immo_Group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set temp_unit = (Picked unit)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (temp_unit has buff IMMOLATION) Equal to True
            • (temp_unit is in Immo_On_Group) Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit Group - Add temp_unit to Immo_On_Group
          • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (temp_unit is in Immo_On_Group) Equal to True
            • (temp_unit has buff IMMOLATION) Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit Group - Remove temp_unit from Immo_On_Group
            • Trigger - Run DO ACTION <gen> (checking conditions)
          • Else - Actions
• Clear
  • Events
    • Time - Every 600.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (Immo_On_Group is empty) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Immo_Group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from Immo_Group
            • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from Immo_On_Group
          • Else - Actions
• DO ACTION
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- ENTER HERE ACTION (TRIGGERING UNIT IS temp_unit) --------
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads BOOM above temp_unit with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
    • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 3.00 seconds
    • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds

The Clear trigger is really not super necessary, but it can be good practice to clear the groups of unnecessary (dead) units after a while.
