[Trigger] Math Problem

[Airandius]

I still don't get it why but my AoE of a custum spell won't work properly.
It has 5 levels, and the AoE starts at 300, then 400, then 500 etc
So in normal math you would get the formula: 200 + 100x = y

But it wont work here... The below trigger makes AoE that are way to big.
But when I try 100 + 50x = y they become to small.... (Half)

So what do I need to do in the below trigger to get the correct formula?

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within (200.00 + (100.00 x (Real((Level of Excorcism [E] for (Triggering unit)))))) of CastPoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions

so u want it to have a radius of 300, right? that means it is a 600 area as far as i know

this leaks, too

better make a unit group using

Set AOEGroup = Every unit within (200 + ((Level of Ability for unit) x 100) range of Point

and remove it later with

call DestroyGroup(udg_AOEGroup)

I just use a bj function to destroy the group. But isn't your formula the same as mine?

 

[Palaslayer]

it is, but i used to use a mroe complicated one and just cant think of it right now xD

here it is

300 + ((level of ability for unit - 1) x 100)

Picks a way to big range.. =/ Tried casting it far from the zombies away and they still got targeted.... (Spells shows an AoE circle btw.)

 

[Palaslayer]

lol, why the hag

it picks 300 range from point (a 600 area) at lvl one and at lvl two it should pick a 400 range just type the numbers into the (taschenrechner?) the thing to type in numbers ^^

Calculator

 

[Palaslayer]

thx ^^

if i do it the right numbers for each level appear

300, 400, 500 etc.
this might be a bug or wc3 interprets the formuala wrong, could have to do with the mechanics of the game

 

[Airandius]

(taschenrechner?) ????? I'll post the entire trigger. [Oh a calculator, yeh I know normal math. 200 + 100x = y should also work but it doesn't]

• Excorcism
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Excorcism [E]
  • Actions
    • Set CastPoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within (300.00 + (((Real((Level of Excorcism [E] for (Triggering unit)))) - 1.00) x 100.00)) of CastPoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Unit-type of (Picked unit)) is Undead) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at CastPoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] facing Default building facing degrees
            • Unit - Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
            • Unit - Add Exorcism to (Last created unit)
            • Unit - Set level of Exorcism for (Last created unit) to (Level of Excorcism [E] for (Triggering unit))
            • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Sorceress - Slow (Picked unit)
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_CastPoint[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))])

Now lvl1 Channel has a targeting image of 300 AoE, lvl2 400 AoE.
This Channel ability is called Excorcism [E], it will trigger the dummy to cast; Excorcism on the level of the triggering unit. blabla....

Why does it pick a to big AoE? xD I want this one to be done before I make more....

 

[Palaslayer]

what cooldown has exorcism?
is it channeling?
why do u work with reals 300.00, 100.00, 1.00 ...... and so on and then convert an integer to real Real(Level of Excorsism) ???

i might see this wrong but try to fix those

 

[Airandius]

Got it to work, I made a very stupid mistake.
The dummy was not at fault, I just picked the wrong position to base the group off...

Anyway, you tried to help me, but could not help me because I was just being plain dumb. Have some rep though.

 

[Palaslayer]

lawl, so the mistake wasnt in our formulas? ^^

 

[Airandius]

This:

• Set CastPoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Position of (Triggering unit))

Was still from my previous custom spell trigger and I forgot to edit it.
When I read my trigger I suddenly realized that.
I changed it into:

• Set CastPoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Target point of ability being cast)

And now it work's fine. ^^
