Need Trigger Help

[phoenixfire]

I'm making this spell, called "Prone", which is basically just "Defend" without any factors. Instead, I have triggered the spell using:

Trigger 1

• Prone
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Prone
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set (Casting unit) movement speed to 50.00
    • Unit - Add Prone Effect to (Casting unit)
    • Unit - Add Prone Effect II to (Casting unit)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Trigger - Turn on Prone Undo <gen>

and

Trigger 2

• Prone Undo
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Prone
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove Prone Effect from (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Remove Prone Effect II from (Triggering unit)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Trigger - Turn on Prone <gen>

The problem is the movement speed does not change, and Prone Effect/II are not added. I was wondering why this is, and if there is a better way to trigger this.

Why cant you just use movement speed reduction that is in Defend spell?

And you can use events Unit is issued order and then condition defend and undefend so you dont have to mess up with turning on and off triggers.

 

[phoenixfire]

BEcause Defend's speed reduction is limited to -10.00

 

[millzy]

well the base spell is defend right try using

• prone
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Level of prone for (Triggering unit)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(defend))
      • Then - Actions
        • add effects
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(undefend))
      • Then - Actions
        • remove effects
      • Else - Actions

this will also make the spell MUI and more sufficent

lol
1.00 = 0% speed (the footman wont move at all)
0.00 = 100% speed (normal speed)
-10 = +1000% speed (seriously?)

And when you are messing with movement speeds you can try to change Advanced -> Gameplay Constants -> Movement

 

[Darkzealot_128]

That's wierd. Maybe you should check the condition. I think it could be that 50 is close to the movement speed of the unit. If it doesn't work, then maybe try restarting WE. If that doesn't work then you could try to store the movement speed into a variable. I know these sound stupid but just try them.

 

[phoenixfire]

lol
1.00 = 0% speed (the footman wont move at all)
0.00 = 100% speed (normal speed)
-10 = +1000% speed (seriously?)

How the fuck would -10 = +1000% speed? I thought this was %s

There normal movement speed is 270. I'll try your variable idea

No. Its factor.

1.00 = reduce all speed
0.00 = reduce nothing
0.30 = reduce 30%
etc

 

[phoenixfire]

Even if it is a factor, it doesn't help Prone Effect/II's activation. The variable didn't work either :S

 

[Darkzealot_128]

OH WAIT! I UNDERSTAND WHY THE PRONES ARE ADDED! Because there are no waits, this all happens at the same time so the triggers both screw eachother up, so the second you add the prone effect in the first trigger the second trigger will just remove it.

 

[phoenixfire]

This doesn't work darkzealot.

Try this function,use arithmetic and the default unit's speed then divide it by 2 (half of the current speed aka 50%)

• Actions
  • Unit - Set YourUnit movement speed to ((Default movement speed of (Triggering unit)) / 2.00)

 

[phoenixfire]

Just noticed none of my triggers are working...

 

[Assassins-Creed]

• Actions
  • Unit Group - Add YourUnit to YourUnitGroup
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in YourUnitGroup and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Set (Picked unit) movement speed to ((Current movement speed of (Picked unit)) / 2.00)
      • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from YourUnitGroup

Proven to have worked by this trigger.

• Events
  • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
• Actions
  • Game - Display to (All players) for 0.50 seconds the text: (String((Current movement speed of Footman 0001 <gen>)))

^ Doesn't work for me. Actually, right now no trigger is working, not even the ones I got from the Konstrukt models on how to attach weapons to the units... what the fuck is wrong with my world editor?

 

[Assassins-Creed]

I heard someone hade a similar problem,try restarting the editor or copy over your map,you have to copy your terrain and triggers over to a different map and it will work again.

 

[phoenixfire]

Doesnt terrain get fucked over when you copy it?

 

[Assassins-Creed]

its better then nothing lol

 

[phoenixfire]

When I attempted to copy terrain my World Editor got an error...

 

[Assassins-Creed]

pm me the map xD

 

[phoenixfire]

C&Ped it. The terrain is too fucked up, have to restart.

 

[Assassins-Creed]

GL then,and btw its better then no terrain at all =3

 

[phoenixfire]

Since my World Editor was fucked up, maybe it messed up my C&P aswell... could somebody try to C&P the terrain/triggers from Mission 1 to a new map? I know there isn't much on it but I'd appreciate it. I'm going to reinstall my WE.

Read the others posts before posting please.

 

[phoenixfire]

NONE of my triggers work.

 

[cboy123]

NONE of my triggers work.

Oh Sorry.I thought I'll help

 

[mckill2009]

I think you must create an effect first before adding it and there is no 'delay time' after "Trigger - Turn on Prone Undo <gen>", so basically the trigger will run after it executes that command...

Also you must do "Run Trigger" not "Turn On"...

 

[-Kobas-]

BEcause Defend's speed reduction is limited to -10.00

Try with "Shift + Double Click/Enter"

 

[phoenixfire]

Ok lol... I got the triggers working.

However, now when they are in prone they take 0 damage for some reason. The "Miss" sign doesn't even come up... anybody have any ideas?

 

[millzy]

make sure in the defend ability
you have set "Data - Damage Dealt (%)" to 1 not 0
and "Data - Damage Taken (%)" to 1 not 0
