Nuclear Catastrophe Needs Assisstance

[CarrionMan19]

I'm having a problem with another spell: Nuclear Catastrophe. It's supposed to be like Cluster Rockets except the rocket explode, damaging everyone in their blast radii. Here's the trigger

• Nuclear Catastrophe
  • Events
    • Unit - Ham 0000 <gen> Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Nuclear Catastrophe
  • Actions
    • Set Target2 = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set Target1 = (Position of Target2)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Target2 has buff Nuclear Catastrophe ) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of Ham 0000 <gen>) at Target1 facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Set level of War Stomp (Dummy) for (Last created unit) to (Level of Nuclear Catastrophe for Ham 0000 <gen>)
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - War Stomp
      • Else - Actions

The problem is that War Stomp is not activating at all. Assisstance is required ASAP. I'd appreciate any help...

Why do you use a specific unit event...?

Also, use Starts the Effect of an Ability; on Begins casting, the target definately won't have the buff, but I'm pretty sure it will on Starts the Effect. Why do you check that anyways?

Why do you use a specific unit event...?

I always have used a specific unit event. It's just one of those things that sticks. By the way it didn't work...

 

[Just_Spectating]

if you use specific unit event you can not apply that trigger to any game created units. does the unit have warstomp ability?

 

[CarrionMan19]

yes the dummy does have war stomp

 

[PurplePoot]

Are you sure it isn't working? The effect won't play if the dummy has no model, that could be the problem. (in my experience, anyways...)

nah, if you have a dummy unt the effect still works. but i dont dl the "dummy" from this site, i just use model tornado spin with model size .10

 

[PurplePoot]

Not if you use a made-up path that doesn't relate to the dummy. (which a lot of people do)

And the dummy model is better - it has vertical rotation, plus probably has attachment points that the tornado, etc, doesn't, plus doesn't have annoying sounds

 

[CarrionMan19]

Actually, scratch the trigger. I've tried everything and it's not working. Also scratch basing it off Cluster Rockets... I just want an ability that sends multiple missiles and have them explode, dealing damage to everything in their blast radius.

 

[Just_Spectating]

make dummy units attack ground with splash damage to the target area.

well buff wont be applied in sametime you cast the ability I guess try something else like dont check the buff

 

[CarrionMan19]

I found the problem... the dummy's not even appearing (or at least I don't think it is). Otherwise it would've casted the ability already. Something must be stopping the dummy from appearing

 

[PurplePoot]

Why do you need to check for the buff, if the ability is already being cast on them?

 

[Just_Spectating]

cluster rockets fire and when they land, then the target being casted gets the buff and damage. but i think your trigger isnt working because the units that are getting clusterrocketted dont have to buff when you are casting the ability, so i think your trigger only checks when the target has the buff right when you cast the ability. i think you should have a periodic event checking when the target has the buff, but i think it will leak..
