[Trigger] Need some easy help.

[MYHummeR]

I have some questions.
All good answers that solves my questions will be given +rep.
But I will need the triggers in

• codes and good descriptions.
• Question 1: How do you use numbers in chat to trigger some actions?
• For an example, if a player types "add gold 9384", he will get 9384 gold. How can this be done?
• Question 2: How do you make a "nova" spell?
• For an example, when a hero uses the spell, dummy units will spawn and move out away from the hero and damage nearby enemies. How do you make such trigger?
• These are really nooby questions I know, I know quite alot about GUI but I sort of cant figgure this out... Do you move the dummys instandly to locations and change that location for each time it moves or what?
• Thanks!

Question 1:
You have to use substring to do that. Like in the example below;

• Events
  • Player - Player red enters chat string containing "-add gold " as substring
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set integer_gold = Substring((Entered Chat string), 11, 16)
  • Player - Add gold to (Triggering player)'s current gold

11 is number of characters in string "-add gold ", 16 is the end of the string.

Question 2:
You need to make a movement trigger, ie. every 0.04 move dummies to calculated location. This can be done this way:

troggers

• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) equal to your_nova_ability
• Actions
  • Set Caster = Triggering unit
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6 do Actions:
    • Set temp_point = Position of (Triggering Unit)
    • Unit - Create 1 dummy at temp_point facing 0 degrees
    • Set dummy_unit[(Integer A)] = (Last Created unit)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_point)
  • Trigger - Enable Movement trigger <gen>

• Movement trigger
• Events
  • Time - Every 0.04 seconds
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If dummy_unit[1] equal to (No unit)
    • If - Then actions
      • Trigger - Disable (This trigger)
    • If - Else actions
      • Set loop_counter = loop_counter + 1
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6 do Actions:
        • Set temp_point = Position of Caster
        • Set temp_point2 = temp_point offset by 5 towards ((Integer A)*60) degrees
        • Unit - Move dummy_unit[(Integer A)] instantly to temp_point2
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_point)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_point2)
        • If loop_counter Greater than or equal to 50
          • If - Then actions
            • Unit - Kill dummy_unit[(Integer A)]
            • Trigger - Disable (This trigger)
            • Set loop_counter = 0

@raft_pl, replace "16" with "(Length of (Entered chat string))". 11 to 16 will be able of holding 4 digits, while Length of (Entered chat string) will be able of holding as many digits as you place.

You are using temp_point within the IntegerA loop. It should be out of it. You are not creating a circle, if you were planning to.
