[Trigger] Multi-sliding spell

[StaberFire]

Well here's the jist of what I want to happen: When my hero casts the spell, he will become invulnerable and paused for 6 seconds, during which he moves to several randomized points between 100 and 250 units away from him. As he moves, he will damage enemy units he passes by.

Heres my Initialization trigger:

• FWInit
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Fatal Winds
  • Actions
    • Set FWCaster = (Casting unit)
    • Set FWPos = (Position of FWCaster)
    • Set FWPoint = (FWPos offset by (Random real number between 100.00 and 250.00) towards (Random angle) degrees)
    • Set FWDistance = (Distance between FWPos and FWPoint)
    • Set FWAngle = (Angle from FWPos to FWPoint)
    • Set FWN = 0.00
    • Wait 0.20 seconds
    • Unit - Create 1 FWEffect for (Owner of FWCaster) at FWPos facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
    • Set FWNulledUnit = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add a 6.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Make FWCaster face FWAngle over 0.00 seconds
    • Unit - Pause FWCaster

    • Trigger - Turn on FWEffect <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn on FWEffect2 <gen>
    • Wait 6.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off FWEffect <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn off FWEffect2 <gen>
    • Unit - Unpause FWCaster
    • Unit - Make FWCaster Vulnerable
    • Animation - Reset FWCaster's animation

The problem is fixed, the trigger works fine now.

Ok, in your second trigger, that is where all the fault should lie. First, the invulnerable and paused bug. You set the FWCaster to null, so if you refer to it in your first trigger, it will unpause no unit and make no unit vulnerable. So I suggest you cut and paste the unpause and make vulnerable, together with the turn off trigger thing to the if then else part of the trigger.
Next, the movement problem. I have no idea why it is so but I have encountered it somewhere. I will get back to you ASAP about that.
Next, your first trigger leaks locations so please do fix it.

Actually I fixed it by removing those custom scripts and just having the trigger reset the variables, it works perfectly now. I edited the triggers in my previous post.

Cool ! Nice spell

Indeed, it works quite nicely as an escaping spell, or a mass damage spell in tight quarters.

You don't actually need the second effect or the Damage event, those are just optional.
