• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to X
• Actions
  • Set AreaOfEffect = 200.00 // Real variable
  • Set Point1 = (Target point of ability being cast)
  • Environment - Create Blight for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) from Point1 to a radius of AreaOfEffect
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

 

[solomon409]

ohh, so i just replace the 200 AOE into my own AOE, right?

 

[Vizel]

Well, yes. Unless you want it only to be 200 units...

Change the number to what you want it to be.

Fortunately you want the blighted area to be permanent, if you want it to be temporary then THAT'S hard, requiring save this and that

Not that difficult actually. Calculate polar points so that each 128x128 square gets a point. You can save all tile types used in a map into an array. Then you loop through the array and check the terrain type at each point and save the inxed. Then you can save the terrain variation as an integer. You can create a timed dummy at the point. When the dummy dies, load the original values for the terrain.

I'm using this kind of system in my Lich King spellpack, where terrain gets temporarily frozen around the hero.

Kind of offtopic though.

I said it is HARDER than the permanent change of the tiles..
Not IMPOSSIBLE..

You said it's hard, not harder.

I never claimed you said it's impossible.

I just explained how it can be done, just incase someone is interested.

okay, sry for being a noob, but i cant find the place to edit the first two actions, where is it?

First don't double post, use the edit button.

Second you find those actions under "set variable". But you must create a variable to use there first. You can create a variable in the X located on the top of trigger editor.

 

[solomon409]

well, yea i know, but when i did this and i selected a REGION varibale, i could not set up a number, so i used a REAL variable to set up a number but then the trigger didnt work. Now what?

 

[Goolygot]

Have you created two variables?
AreaOfEffect (it is a real variable)
Point1 (it is a point variable)

If you have made the trigger right and used those variables nothing should be wrong.

 

[defskull]

Is Pharaoh_ sure AreaOfEffect variable is a real-type variable ?
I always thought it was INTEGER-type variable.. ?

If you look at Pharaoh's trigger you would notice that he wrote:
Set AreaOfEffect = 200.00 // Real variable

I'm just wondering...
