Mines expiration timer

ZiGOR · Mar 26, 2013

Hi there! My hero has a spell "Nuclear Mushrooms" it works like Goblin Land Mines... Places a mushroom that will explode...
But I want them to last only 5 minutes... I set duration 300, but they still last forever... I also tried this:

Nuclear Mushroom Summon
- Events
  - Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
- Conditions
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Nuclear Mushroom level 1
    - Then - Actions
      - Unit - Add a ((Real((Intelligence of Nuclear_Mushroom_Caster (Include bonuses)))) + 300.00) second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    - Else - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Nuclear Mushroom level 2
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Unit - Add a ((Real((Intelligence of Nuclear_Mushroom_Caster (Include bonuses)))) + 300.00) second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        
        Else - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Nuclear Mushroom level 3
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Unit - Add a ((Real((Intelligence of Nuclear_Mushroom_Caster (Include bonuses)))) + 300.00) second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        
        Else - Actions

Try "Unit - A unit Spawns a summoned unit" event.

Striker21 · Mar 27, 2013

Wait, what is "Nuclear_Mushroom_Caster"? You didn't set it to be the unit enters the map, so... it doesn't work?

UndeadImmortal said:

Daffa · Mar 27, 2013

Make the ability based on Water Elemental, maybe it works

What ability did you based it on? Strange, it works fine on me.

(Last created unit) doesn't respond to your event. Try (Triggering Unit) or (Summoned Unit) (if you are using the summon event) instead.

Sumoned Unit had no effect... :vw_death:

EmoBrother · Mar 28, 2013

I'm wondering a thing...
The LV1,2 and 3 have the same details, why do you do them one by one ?

Weird. I will investigate a bit more then.

because there are 4 different units

Have your test Using Water Elemental and such abilities that have time limits? Maybe Works

iChaos · Mar 28, 2013

If I still have a good badass memory, last created unit has no relationship with enters playable playable map area event. But who knows.

EmoBrother · Mar 28, 2013

Conditions
- Or
  - (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Nuclear Mushroom level 1
  - (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Nuclear Mushroom level 2
  - (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Nuclear Mushroom level 3

Maybe this help you to shorter the actions ?

Water Elemental can't be placed on a point...

Or

(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Nuclear Mushroom level 1

(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Nuclear Mushroom level 2

(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Nuclear Mushroom level 3

Good idea xD

Try this :

If Trained Unit is equaled to Mushroom(??) Then :
Start Triger ( Start triger that will be 300 seconds timer )
Then Kill Nuclear Mushroom!
This should work.

I have project exacly same like him! Techi War! It works fine for me.

I think the best way is this.... if your trigger didn't work

Untitled Trigger 003
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
- Conditions
  - (Ability being cast) Equal to Nuclear Mushroom
- Actions
  - Set temp_location = (Target Point of Ability being Cast)
  - Unit - Create 1 Mushroom[Level of (Ability being cast) for (temp_Unit)] for temp_Player at temp_location facing Default building facing degrees
  - Unit - Add a 300.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
  - Custom Script - call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_location)

Mushroom[X] is a variable that is storing the muchrooms unit type
Ability is Channel with point target
:grin:

iChaos · Mar 29, 2013

If this is not yet solved, I think I must give some of my ideas.

First of all, I observed your trigger and didn't see any unit created. Maybe you can change the 'Last created unit' to Triggering Unit (or Entering unit) so that it will 'fit' to your event. (Your event is enter playable map area)

Untitled Trigger 003

Events

Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to Nuclear Mushroom

Actions

Set temp_Unit = (Triggering Unit)

Set temp_Player = owner of (Triggering Unit)

Set temp_location = (Target Point of Ability being Cast)

Unit - Create 1 Mushroom[Level of (Ability being cast) for (temp_Unit)] for temp_Player at temp_location facing Default building facing degrees

Unit - Add a 300.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

Custom Script - call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_location)

Custom Script - set temp_Unit = null

Custom Script - set temp_Player = null

Mushroom[X] is a variable that is storing the muchrooms unit type
Ability is Channel with point target

Im confused. Why on earth is there any need for creating variables in this trigger (other than point variable)? Why do you store triggering unit if it is only going to be referenced once straight away? Additionally, summoned units can be detected by using "A unit Enters playable map area".

This trigger should work:

Land Mine
- Events
  - Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
- Conditions
  - Or - Any (Conditions) are true
    - Conditions
      - (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Goblin Land Mine
      - (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Goblin Land Mine
      - (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Goblin Land Mine
- Actions
  - Unit - Add a ((Real((Intelligence of MushroomCaster (Include bonuses)))) + 300.00) second Generic expiration timer to (Triggering unit)

Like said above, you need to use "Triggering Unit". There is no "Last created Unit" in the original post's trigger.

The unit and the player is for nothing, the location to make users here tell me: "IT LEAKS"

Radicool · Mar 29, 2013

Sorry, I editted my post to address that, lol.

The unit and the player is for nothing

Precisely my point. It should be good practice to remove redundant code.

There i changed the trigger
Btw for the entering unit, i made the exact thing in my map and worked fine but i don't know why it is not working with him

Daffa · Mar 29, 2013

Lets see, I think DotCa's trigger is the most correct one, well, with exception of Unit and Player Variable
