[Spell] Mana Bomb Help with trigger please

[_Tactical_]

Well ive been away for along time and forget how to use World Editor its been 4 years :O

How could i make a trigger spell that takes the remaining mana your hero has and creates a Bomb of mana that does 100% damage = to amount of mana he has remaining it will drain all his mana and slow him down for 10 seconds its sort of like a last resort spell could you guys help me out and explain how i can make it thanks <3

you don't need any trigger bro, just use mana burn ability and make the Data - max mana drained = 99999
but i'm not sure you can change mana burn effect since it's a lightning effect
if you use trigger, maybe this can help

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Mana Bomb
  • Actions
    • Set Mana_Unit = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set Mana_Loc = (Position of Mana_Unit)
    • Set Mana_Real = (Mana of Mana_Unit)
    • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage Mana_Unit, dealing Mana_Real damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
    • Unit - Set mana of Mana_Unit to 0.00
    • -------- Create dummy to slow the target --------
    • Unit - Create 1 Mana_Dummy for (Triggering player) at Mana_Loc facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • -------- I use purge based ability to slow the target --------
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shaman - Purge Mana_Unit
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Mana_Loc)

Hope the trigger above could help

anything u use twice or more store into a variable and use that instead. example target unit of ability being cast. it is more efficient and faster when u use the variable.

Since it's not my spell, i'm too lazy to make the variable

 

[deathismyfriend]

u made the spell it should be good not poorly coded lol.

not a good idea to basically say im putting up poorly coded triggers because its not for me lol

 

[Sapi]

alright, i'll edit it soon
actually using "Target unit of ability being cast" is optional, after all it's a local

Edited!

 

[deathismyfriend]

actually using "Target unit of ability being cast" is optional, after all it's a local

it is not a local. triggering unit is treated as a local

 

[Sapi]

it is not a local. triggering unit is treated as a local

only "triggering unit" is local?
i don't know that, but now i know
thanks anyway

no prob

Triggering unit is the only real local, others are globals, but can be treated as shadowed globals to be local, check death's tutorial.
Anyway, seems problem solved, we'll just have to wait for OP response.
