[Spell] order dummy to cast stun on all picked units

[cyberend]

Greetings. I have a problem where this skill only stuns one unit from the picked group


Here is my trigger:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Mana Blast
  • Actions
    • Set Location[1] = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 300.00 of Location[1] matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) belongs to an enemy of (Triggering player)) Equal to True
            • ((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to True
            • ((Picked unit) is Mechanical) Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Weapons\LordofFlameMissile\LordofFlameMissile.mdl
            • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Level of boss (Least) for (Picked unit)) Not equal to 1
              • Then - Actions
                • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Location[1] facing Default building facing degrees
                • Unit - Add stun 1 sec (Neutral Hostile) to (Last created unit)
                • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral - Firebolt (Picked unit)
                • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
              • Else - Actions
            • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing (0.00 + (1.25 x (Real((Agility of (Triggering unit) (Include bonuses)))))) damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Location[1])

The event responses of the casting events are cleared/overwritten on Issue Order-actions, save them at the beginning of the trigger.

 

[Malhorne]

You check two times if the unis is owned by an enemy. That can be avoided.
Anyway the answer is just above.

 

[cyberend]

Hmmm I see... I'm not so sure if I get it but I think what you mean is it checks again if a unit casts a spell and since the spell cast by the dummy is not Mana Blast it ends the trigger. Thanks for the reply ^_^

Oh XD I didn't see that I put a condition in the picked units part haha thanks

 

[Malhorne]

Not he means that you should store triggering unit.

 

[cyberend]

Ah ok ok thanks

 

[Malhorne]

No problem since the memory of triggering unit is overwritten.

set ug= units with 1000 of location[1] matching : matching unit is not a boss and matching unit is alive and matching unit is a mechanical equalls to false and matching unit is magic immune equalls to false and ... etc.
pick every unit in ug and do {
}
Custom script "call DestroyGroup(udg_ug)"
fixing the lag and making everying more simple, to allow you to find the blind spot that made your ability not working.
On another question "make the ability damage only one unit among the unit group?"
pick every unit in unit group{
set UNIT = PICKED UNIT
}
do something with that randomed unit from that unit group

Its amazing how you done everything right exepts for 1 things, I AM impressed.
Instead of Player = triggered player -> use Player = owner of Triggered Unit.
As it is right now, the computer does not know who is the player, since Trigger Player reffering to player who used chat. Since the trigger does not know whos the player, the game would probably crash - or create dummy units for the wrong player, and you cant go storm bolt on ally unit.
Tell me if it is still not working.

try it first before telling me that

In jass I would not create the unit if the was no units to cast the ability on.

I know that this sounds odd but this is the truth: a single dummy unit for a group will only target one unit, the reason is not known, even a dummy with 0.0 cast animation time and is flying and turn rate is 1.00, still will only target one unit and ignore the others I noticed this on my maps and either I don't know how to fix this or its impossible.

 

[Maker]

Set the movement speed to 0 in object editor or remove move ability from the unit. Then as long as the unit can see the target, it will cast it on as many as you need.

I am going to check it, if it works, I would rep you tommorow as I allready given maximum rep alloweded for a day. Really hope you are correct brother.
Edit:
HAHA Its AMAZING! Its working! No more 25 casters for 25 units hahaha this is so much help for my costum spells THANK YOU

 

[FUJI]

There's a tutorial made by Rheiko like casting for multiple units.

 

[Rheiko]

it's not completed yet, but here it is

 

[best_player_88]

it's not completed yet, but here it is

giving a unit attack damage of "0"? the unit will still attack but with 0 damage, If you want a dummy to damage with poison sting, go shift enter and give it -9999 so even a kodo beast wont add to its damage and only the poison applies, if you do not want that, set the unit's "attack enable" to "none". Either way, as it is right now the dummy will attack even with 0 damage as its attack power. (Intenses that you do not need like "unit was attacked" and "unit got damaged").

 

[Rheiko]

like i said, the tutorial is not completed yet
just set attack per dice and, .. i forgot the other one, to 0
unit can no longer attack

Tested and proven correct -> even with kodo beast aura any whatever modifiers, the unit would not attack if it had 0-0-0 (attack/ number of dice/ damage per dice)
