My twisting trigger doesn't work, why?

[p4ntof3l]

I've made a twisting trigger ability but in about 1/3 of duration time it stops. I don't know why, just take a look:

• Trigger 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit begins to cast a spell
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Twist
  • Actions
    • Set CASTER = (Triggering unit)
    • Set TARGET = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Pause TARGET
    • Trigger - Run Trigger 2<gen> (ignoring conditions)

• Trigger 2
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set ANGLE = (Facing of TARGET)
    • Unit - Make TARGET face ((Facing of TARGET) + 30) over 0.00 seconds
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Facing of TARGET) Equal to ANGLE
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Run Trigger 3<gen> (ignoring conditions)
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

• Trigger 3
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Cause CASTER to damage TARGET dealing 200.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal
    • Unit - Unpause TARGET

The variables are:
CASTER (unit)
TARGET (unit)
ANGLE (real)

Have I made any mistake somewhere? I said what's the problem, if you can help please post here and correct my triggers.

I believe it will work if you put the ''Set ANGLE = (Facing of TARGET)'' action in your first trigger. Because right now, the value of Angle changes every 0.03 seconds as well, which shouldn't happen.

 

[p4ntof3l]

ok, i'll try

 

[Pharaoh_]

The action should be "Trigger - Turn on Trigger2 <gen>", not Trigger - Run trigger, unless you have it "always enabled", which doesn't even require this action, but is inefficient at the same time.
You don't need to add Trigger - Run trigger to damage the target, just add those actions under the "Then" branch.

 

[p4ntof3l]

ok, i'll try this one too
EDIT: still the same :/

Now it looks like you told me to do and problem still exists:

• Trigger 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit begins to cast a spell
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Twist
  • Actions
    • Set CASTER = (Triggering unit)
    • Set TARGET = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set ANGLE = (Facing of (Target unit of ability being cast))
    • Unit - Pause (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Trigger - Turn on Trigger 2<gen>

• Trigger 2
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Make TARGET face (ANGLE + 30.00) over 0.00 seconds
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Facing of TARGET) Equal to ANGLE
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Cause CASTER to damage TARGET, dealing 200.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal
        • Unit - Unpause TARGET
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

Still doesn't work

 

[Ramza]

Your first action in Trigger 2 should still be ''Make TARGET face (Facing of TARGET) + 30) over 0.00 seconds''. Then it keeps rotating till the target will get the facing of ANGLE, which you set in the first trigger.

 

[p4ntof3l]

that's not that :/
my triggers are badass, maybe someone try to do new ones that will work

 

[p4ntof3l]

woow, i made it. i changed ANGLE to:

• Set ANGLE = ((Facing of (Target unit of ability being cast)) - 30.00)

but now it doesn't stop

 

[Ramza]

Of course it won't stop. The Facing of TARGET will never be equal to ANGLE, which is your condition in trigger 2.

Take the two triggers you posted earlier, and change the first action of trigger 2 to ''Unit - Make TARGET face (Facing of TARGET) + 30) over 0.00 seconds)'' instead of ''ANGLE + 30''.

 

[p4ntof3l]

i've done this already

 

[Ramza]

Post your trigger again. I would like to see. xP

I think I'm gonna request such ability and let Pharoh_ or you do that

 

[Ramza]

I don't get why it won't work. x(

Try this:

• Trigger 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit begins to cast a spell
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Twist
  • Actions
    • Set CASTER = (Triggering unit)
    • Set TARGET = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set ANGLE = ((Facing of (Target unit of ability being cast)) - 30.00)
    • Unit - Pause (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Trigger - Turn on Trigger 2<gen>
    • Wait 0.36 seconds (0.03*30)
    • Trigger - Turn off Trigger 2<gen>
    • Unit - Cause CASTER to damage TARGET, dealing 200.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal
    • Unit - Unpause TARGET

• Trigger 2
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Make TARGET face ((Facing of TARGET) + 30.00) over 0.00 seconds

 

[p4ntof3l]

[p4ntof3l]

yeah man, it works :*
i'll add your reputation
