Need help with spell

[biHmapmaker]

This is what I want :

One spell that damage single target and then damage random units (random number of them and random units) around that target (random AOE too) with random damage (betwen 100-600 for example) and slow those units.
I created this but it works only with one unit and that unit ain't slowed ...
And yes, I need, if possible, GUI way to make it.

Longer time ago that I create something in GUI but maybe you can use
something like that:

• YourSpell
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- I think you do single damage with the spell not with the trigger --------
    • Set TempLoc = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
    • Set TempInt[0] = (Random integer number between 1 and 5)
    • Set TempInt[1] = (Random integer number between 100 and 500)
    • Set TempInt[2] = (Random integer number between 100 and 160)
    • Set TempGroup = (Random TempInt[0] units from (Units within (Real(TempInt[1])) of TempLoc))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing (Real(TempInt[2])) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)

TempInt[0] = Number of targets that are picked
TempInt[1] = The AOE Range
TempInt[2] = Damage

Dr. Boom, "Units within Real(TempInt[1]))" leaks: it's a new unit group; you need two units groups. What is more, don't use integers to define the aoe, because values like 324.28 are excluded and they shouldn't.

...values like 324.28 are excluded and they shouldn't.

So, we have to use Real variables ?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Not have to, but it is way better. Integers have less possibilities, while reals have a higher range of numbers.

This version of Dr.Boom doesen't work ... What to change and how to make it work ?

 

[defskull]

Pharaoh_ to the rescue I think ;D

This doesn't work? Hmm wondering why it doesn't but how about that?

function GroupFilter takes nothing returns boolean
    return IsUnitEnemy(GetFilterUnit(),GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit())) == true
endfunction

function GroupAction takes nothing returns nothing
    local real a = GetRandomReal(100.00,160.00)
    
    call UnitDamageTarget(GetTriggerUnit(),GetEnumUnit(),a,true,false,ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL,DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL,WEAPON_TYPE_WHOKNOWS)
endfunction

function SpellActions takes nothing returns nothing
    local real x = GetUnitX(GetSpellTargetUnit())
    local real y = GetUnitY(GetSpellTargetUnit())
    local integer i = GetRandomInt(1,5)
    local real a = GetRandomReal(200.00,600.00)
    local group g = CreateGroup()
    
    if GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A001' then
        call GroupEnumUnitsInRangeCounted(g,x,y,a,Filter(function GroupFilter),i)
        call ForGroup(g,function GroupAction)
    endif
    
    call DestroyGroup(g)
endfunction

function InitTrig_YourSpell takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer a = 0
    
    set gg_trg_YourSpell = CreateTrigger()
    loop
        exitwhen a == bj_MAX_PLAYER_SLOTS
        call TriggerRegisterPlayerUnitEvent(gg_trg_YourSpell,Player(a),EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT,null)
        set a = a + 1
    endloop
    call TriggerAddAction(gg_trg_YourSpell,function SpellActions)
endfunction

If this doesn't work you do something wrong because I tested it and haven't any problems
Name of the trigger was YourSpell. If you have another name for the trigger, you have to change any YourSpell inside the tirgger to the name you have for the trigger

GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))

This will return null. You need globals to store the Triggering unit. If you don't want to use vJass, then you will need a loop.

loop
    exitwhen u == null
    set u = FirstOfGroup (g)
    if IsUnitEnemy (u, GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit())) then
        call KillUnit (u)
    endif
    call GroupRemoveUnit (g, u)
endloop

This is an example. This way, you won't need a new function, but you will implement it within the main actions.

Hi, i made the spell for you IF any changes are required please tell me.

Deals random damage to the guy, slows him, then picks in random area a group and then random people in the random group and then deals random damage (again random) to them and then slows them.

I Called the spell: Spell of Randomness
