Missing Effect

[Karzama]

Hi

I'm making a spell where the Hero sends out loads of bolts of lightning for a short time and get attack speed (it's based on Berserk). Anyway the spell works fine other than that to make the lightning I've used dummy units and they don't use chain lightning when the ability kills an enemy.

I know that I could use lightning effects but I have no idea how they work so yer. Any ideas?

trigger

  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions

            • Set TS_CasterUnit = (Picked unit)
            • Set TS_CasterPoint = (Position of TS_CasterUnit)
            • Set TS_Group = (Units within 800.00 of TS_CasterPoint matching ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and ((((Matching unit) is visible to (Owner of TS_CasterUnit)) Equal to True) and (((Owner of (Matching unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of TS_CasterUnit)) Equal to True))
            • Set TS_Damage = ((Real((Agility of TS_CasterUnit (Exclude bonuses)))) x 2.00)
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

                • Set TS_TargetUnit = (Random unit from TS_Group)
                • Set TS_Damage = (TS_Damage + ((Mana of TS_CasterUnit) x 0.05))
                • Unit - Set mana of TS_CasterUnit to ((Mana of TS_CasterUnit) x 0.95)
                • Unit - Create 1 Dummy (Thunder Storm) for (Owner of TS_CasterUnit) at TS_CasterPoint facing Default building facing degrees
                • Set TempUnit = (Last created unit)
                • Unit - Add a 0.10 second Generic expiration timer to TempUnit
                • Unit - Order TempUnit to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning TS_TargetUnit
                • Unit - Cause TS_CasterUnit to damage TS_TargetUnit, dealing TS_Damage damage of attack type Spells and damage type Universal
              • Else - Actions
            • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TS_Group)
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TS_CasterPoint)
      • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempUnitGroup)

P.S. Note that this doesn't need to be GUI as you can only have one of this Hero.

EDIT - Fixed it by adding "Dead" and "Alive" tags to the Chain Lightning ability.

It's already GUI (Graphical User Interface). xD

You might mean MUI (Multi-user instance-ability).

Of course a dummy cannot cast against a dead unit. Either add 'Dead' to allowed targets in the dummy spell, or make a dummy target on the attacked unit's location.

Ahh I meant MUI XD

I was getting confused because I made the damage be dealt after ordering the dummy. But it works all fine now so it's all good

Thanks anyway
