Minimal Range Question

[Impereal Gardian]

Hello, was wondering if there was a way to work this trigger.
I'm pretty bad at certain triggers, and was needing help.

Okay, so a unit has 0-1000 range, but what I would was to know is if a unit comes within 400 range of the my unit (in this case, Sniper), Sniper gets a 50% miss chance on JUST that target, changing targets will give him his range back.
(Planning on having a skill that increases his range if this changes anything)

^ I think I can already tell this sounds almost like its set up how it should be, but having a little difficulty with the setup.
Thanks

I think you'd do something like:

• Untitled Trigger 003
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to YOUR_UNIT
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(attack))
            • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(smart))
      • Then - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Target unit of issued order) is in (Units within 400.00 of (Position of (Ordered unit)))) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Create 1 DUMMY_UNIT for (Owner of (Ordered unit)) at (Position of (Ordered unit)) facing (Position of (Ordered unit))
            • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Banshee - Curse (Ordered unit)
            • Unit - Add a 1.00 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
                • ((Target unit of issued order) is in (Units within 400.00 of (Position of (Ordered unit)))) Equal to False
              • Then - Actions
                • Unit - Remove Curse buff from (Ordered unit)
              • Else - Actions
      • Else - Actions

That should work.

Now, to set up your DUMMY unit, you make sure:

Art - Model File = BlankModel.Mdx
Art - Shadow Image (Unit) = None
Art - Animation - Cast Backswing = 0
Art - Animation - Cast Point = 0
Combat - Attacks Enabled = No attacks

And You make sure it has the Locust (Aloc) ability.

How does the spell Undead Banshee - Curse know the % i want for miss chance?

Q2 - I may be wrong, but does not removing Dummy units create leaks?
^ Edit : Or is this what this does
Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

 

[Karzama]

Setting the % of Curse to 100% will cause it to miss on all attacks. The Dummy will leak a point but other than that it'll be fine.

 

[water_Knight]

To remove the leak just make a point varible and set that point to where the dummy with spawn then spawn the dummy there. After it spawns use a custom script

call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)

Karzama, how do I change that?

And thanks water knight, will do.

Karzama, how do I change that?

And thanks water knight, will do.

Just go into the Object Editor and look for the Undead unit ability - Curse, then look for the field where it is % miss chance and set it to 0.40 for 40% miss rate.
