"Must Target a Tree" {skill based off Slow can't target trees}

[manstie]

Hi,

I made a skill based off "Slow" and turned it into "Gather some Wood". This skill is trigger-based. The triggers aren't the problem. I have selected allowed targets as the same on Harvest (Gold and Lumber). Tree, Alive, Dead. Whenever I click a tree, or ANYTHING, it says: Must Target a Tree

How can I make it properly be only allowed to target a tree?

Thanks in advanced.

Im not sure but maybe the tree should be selectable.

You probably based your trigger on something wrong,could you also post your code?

-.-
It is not the bloody trigger.
How can it be?
It doesn't even run the trigger for gods sake.
Why would u say that.

The tree is the Ashenvale Tree Wall. If the workers can select it, I think it should be able to select it.

Use another ability which targets trees for default as base.

In my opinion, Thunder_Eye has just got the answer you need. Slow is a spell that was specifically made as a unit-orientated ability, not for trees (Using channel as a template won't work either, interestingly.) If desired, just make a trigger to almost "adjust" the ability to the effects you want it to have.

Just use the eat tree =)

Yea... I used eat trees before, but it doesn't work with my triggers. Eat trees pauses the unit until the target tree is destroyed. When someone harvests a log successfully, the tree loses -10 hp, like so:

• Basic WoodChopping
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Gather Some Wood
  • Actions
    • Set ActionPlayer = (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))
    • Set ActionUnit[ActionPlayer] = (Triggering unit)
    • Set ActionDestructable[ActionPlayer] = (Target destructible of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Pause ActionUnit[ActionPlayer]
    • Wait 0.30 seconds
    • Animation - Play ActionUnit[ActionPlayer]'s Attack animation
    • Wait 0.05 seconds
    • Animation - Play ActionDestructable[ActionPlayer]'s stand hit animation
    • Wait 1.05 seconds
    • Animation - Play ActionUnit[ActionPlayer]'s Attack animation
    • Wait 0.05 seconds
    • Animation - Play ActionDestructable[ActionPlayer]'s stand hit animation
    • Wait 1.05 seconds
    • Animation - Play ActionUnit[ActionPlayer]'s Attack animation
    • Wait 0.05 seconds
    • Animation - Play ActionDestructable[ActionPlayer]'s stand hit animation
    • Wait 1.05 seconds
    • Animation - Play ActionUnit[ActionPlayer]'s Attack animation
    • Wait 0.05 seconds
    • Animation - Play ActionDestructable[ActionPlayer]'s stand hit animation
    • Wait 0.30 seconds
    • Set Chances = ((Real(WoodChoppingLVL[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))])) / 2.00)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Destructible-type of ActionDestructable[ActionPlayer]) Equal to Village Tree Wall
      • Then - Actions
        • Set TreeLVL = 1
      • Else - Actions
    • Set FinalChance = (Random real number between 0.00 and (Real(TreeLVL)))
    • Unit - Unpause ActionUnit[ActionPlayer]
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • FinalChance Less than or equal to Chances
      • Then - Actions
        • Custom script: call DisplayTextToPlayer((GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit())), 0, 0, "You have successfully harvested a log!")
        • Destructible - Set life of ActionDestructable[ActionPlayer] to ((Current life of ActionDestructable[ActionPlayer]) - 10.00)
      • Else - Actions
        • Custom script: call DisplayTextToPlayer((GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit())), 0, 0, "You have failed to harvest a log.")

It keeps looping until the tree is dead - because of "Eat Tree" wanting the tree to die before the unit is unpaused.

You could try using the Scout ability from the priestess of the moon.

 

[manstie]

I'll try that, btw it's "Sentinel" and its from the Huntress.
Thanks DragoonZombie. It worked.
