The spell is not MUI and it uses waits,that's the main problem.

The reason why it doesn't move is because the trigger can't recogniz the event-related functions,because those functions are overwritten and also the waits causes the problems.

Oh and btw, the spell leaks.

Explain plz

 

[Maker]

Integer A != x

 

[T. D. W.]

Integer A != x

lol didn't see that thx maker

 

[Almia]

@DotCA
Don't make me laugh,i have explained there.

@Maker
Ha,that's the main problem

 

[T. D. W.]

ok one last thing:
i gave a dummy unit a finger of death custom ability and when i order him to fire it he doesn't (it's in the trigger third) anymore help?

 

[Almia]

You are ordering the dummy unit to cast the ability 6 times.
Make sure the dummy has sufficient mana or the ability has no cooldown.
Also,make sure that the dummy has 0 casting animation.

0 manacost 0 cooldown but where do i see the casting animation of the dummy

 

[Almia]

Animation section,its the most top of the list,after the abilities

 

[T. D. W.]

i seted all animations to 0.000 but he still don't cast it even for the last target [6] target

 

[Almia]

How about targets? in the ability

 

[T. D. W.]

first: i made targets allowed: allies as the targets are allies
then i changed it and made targets allowed everything [all checked] and none changed a thing

 

[Nichilus]

You are ordering 1 unit to cast spell 7 times in a row in an instant.
Also, doesn't Lightning Field Dummy have locust ability? That would make it untargetable for direct spells, wouldn't it?

oh yeah it does

then is there a way to make a lightning effect from a unit's origin [not fro his position] to a target point?

 

[Nichilus]

You can create lightning from 1 point to another and then raise the end points (Z axis) through custom script

can you show me how i need the point with 500 height btw

 

[Nichilus]

Actually I can't, sorry I'm not good at custom scripts, so I usually save them in my test map for later easy find... but I've must have accidentally delete the trigger it was in since I can't find it :/

no worry

Can anybody else tell us
change Z offset of a point for lightning effect

 

[Almia]

@Nichilus
Its not an instant.
Loops works like this:

Example we have 3 loops

for each integer 1 to 3
(Actions Here)

is actually this :

(Action Here)
(Action Here)
(Action Here)

ok now do you know how to the offset thingy

I know, but I wrote instant since I believed it is executed faster than the cast time of the spell.

After a little search found this guide.
It says there to use

• Custom script: set udg_YOURVARIABLE = AddLightningEx(LIGHTNING TYPE, CHECKVISIBILITY, X1, Y1, Z1, X2, Y2, Z2)

 

[Almia]

^ Correct.

 

[T. D. W.]

ok we got the script how to apply it with my spell because excluding locals and very very basic things with custom scripts i don't know how to do it

 

[Nichilus]

It's all explained in the guide and there is an example trigger at the end

 

[Wolf_Wing]

I think this could be help

 

[T. D. W.]

I think this could be help

this is the guide that nichilus posted


Anyway thx everybody, found what i wanted gave +rep for you
