[JASS] Not working at all...

[Saishy]

private function DamageType takes nothing returns nothing
    local group kunit = GetUnitsInRectAll(gg_rct_Region_000)
    local unit tempunit = FirstOfGroup(kunit)

        call DisplayTextToForce(GetPlayersAll(), "Casting a 100 damage chain lighting")
        call CreateUnitAtLoc(Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE), 'n000', GetRectCenter(gg_rct_Region_001), 90)
        call IssueTargetOrderBJ(GetLastCreatedUnit(), "chainlightning", tempunit)
        call UnitApplyTimedLife(GetLastCreatedUnit(), 'BTLF', 3)
        call FDamage()
    call DestroyGroup(kunit)
    set kunit = null
    set tempunit = null
endfunction

The unit don't cast the chain lighting and stay forever in the map...

Does it show the text?

And i think you should use DBugMsg instead.

Ah yeah DisplayTextToForce is not a good way to display text. You can use

DisplayTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer())

for the same thing for more efficiency.

Also check if the unit can actually *cast* the ability. Make sure that the ability is added to the unit you want. I had cases when the exact same thing happened to me... Hope this helps

Edit: I'm not quite sure but I believe

GetRectCenter

leaks. You could assign it to a local variable then remove the location in the end.

I noticed that you picking all units in region 000, but dummy unit is created in center of region 001. Make sure your dummy unit is enough close to target.

Or check some fields of ability (range, mana cost, requirements) in OE.

About leaks and performance, Its just a test to see the damage of a chain lighting on my unit, don't need to be perfect.

The message shows, also shows that unit took 0 damage, the dummy caster is created, I took control over him and I can cast manually the chain lighting, also, I tried preloading the unit... Nothing worked.

Also, the unit don't have the expiration timer, why?

Edit: Uploaded the test map.
Ps: A cookie to anyone that kills saishy. (The isle in the down / right)

Edit2: Attach removed!

I'm still noob at this so it might be way off,but I think its the GetLastCreatedUnit native that is making the problem here. Try doing something else with it. I tried to get the location (the x y z) of the dummycaster and print it on screen, it just printed all 0's. Also tried to issue a move order to it, wouldn't budge. It just seems the trigger cannot reach the dummy...

 

[Shadow Daemon]

Blah... I realized. You have used native CreateUnitAtLoc (not CreateUnitAtLocSaveLast), that's why GetLastCreatedUnit() returns null. I just wonder, how we didn't noticed that earlier...

So the right code would look like this:

private function DamageType takes nothing returns nothing
  local group kunit = GetUnitsInRectAll(gg_rct_Region_000)
  local unit tempunit = FirstOfGroup(kunit)
  local unit dummy = CreateUnitAtLoc(Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE), 'n000', GetRectCenter(gg_rct_Region_001), 90)
  // --->>
  call DisplayTextToForce(GetPlayersAll(), "Casting a 100 damage chain lighting")
  call IssueTargetOrderBJ(dummy, "chainlightning", tempunit)
  call UnitApplyTimedLife(dummy, 'BTLF', 3)
  call FDamage()
  // <<---
  call DestroyGroup(kunit)
  set kunit = null
  set tempunit = null
  set dummy = null
endfunction

Thanks! I used SaveLast. Worked!

+rep!

(I think nobody killed me, right? xD)
