this triggers is supposed to damage and slow enemy unit near the caster while the caster channeling, but i want to make the skill affect the enemy near his illusions after he uses a mirror image ability and then use the channeling skill, the special effect should be appear at the illusion's position
how to do that?

    • Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Implant_Target)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Implant_Point)

this is a trigger to create special effect and slow the enemy unit nearby the caster upon cast the skill base is Metamorphosis, and yes the caster is transformed, but the trigger is still occurred when the caster transformed back, why?

4. the fourth [SOLVED]

• Hand Sonic

    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_HandSonic_target)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_HandSonic_point)

this is a skill that look like Axe's Counter Helix in DotA but, the Special effect doesn't appear

5. the last [IMPOSSIBLE]
can i give an illusion a passive ability with trigger?

sorry if i asking too much but i hope you can solve it, thanks

 

[Ruke]

1º Trigger:

Remove the "Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_MassHypnosis_target)". Put it in the bottom of the trigger.

And, don't use Casting Unit, use Trigger Unit instead.

Don't use "Do Nothing" action.

2º: I don't understand what you want.

3º: Don't use Waits.
¿Why you turn off the trigger and then turn on?

You need to read what timers are, Wait is not recommended.

5º: No?, I think that you can't.

You've a lot of leaks, read this: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/general-mapping-tutorials-278/complete-list-things-leak-126761/

And, also you need to read about MUI spells: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/hashtables-mui-133407/

Timers are good too : http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...stanceabilty-timers-custom-values-more-96460/

I don't know if these tutorials are updated, but it's an start.

Greetings.

Why i can't use do nothing, and if else action is do nothing then it will do nothing didn't it?

2º: I don't understand what you want.

so, my hero has an ability to create some illusion, what i want is to make the illusions do the same thing and same effect when the hero casts a spell

3º: Don't use Waits.
¿Why you turn off the trigger and then turn on?

You need to read what timers are, Wait is not recommended.

ok i will remove the wait, and i turn the trigger on and off because its occurred when the unit metamorphed back too

i will deal with the leaks later after the trigger functioned properly

Because it's useless.

so, my hero has an ability to create some illusion, what i want is to make the illusions do the same thing and same effect when the hero casts a spell

Maybe you can create a dummy unit an use it like an illusion.

Don't destroy your groups, only clean it.

Maybe you can create a dummy unit an use it like an illusion.

hello anyone please help me..

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in MassHypnosis_target and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Picked unit)) facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
    • Unit - Add a 1.50 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Hero - Create Hogyoku Illusion2 and give it to (Last created unit)
    • Hero - Order (Last created unit) to use (Last created item) on (Picked unit)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_MassHypnosis_target)

Here is one problem. You're destroying the group during enumeration.
You should destroy it after enumeration else this will only work for the first unit.
So, move the DestroyGroup call outside of the block.

Also, remove the Do Nothing, it just adds to the filesize and slows down the processor.

About the second trigger, you have to store the illusions in a unit array and use those units instead of the caster in the rest of the trigger (Unless you wanna get the level data and attributes)

For the third one, I don't know.

For the fourth trigger, it's because you aren't creating the special effect.
Also, you never have to wait before you destroy a special effect.
If you create an effect and then destroy it instantly, the effect will show and it will be destroyed when it finishes.

 

[illmaster]

i have create the SE look carefully below

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in HandSonic_target and do (Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Stampede\MissileDeath.mdl)
• Trigger - Run SFX Destroy <gen> (ignoring conditions)
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in HandSonic_target and do (Unit - Cause (Attacked unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing (100.00 + (Real((Agility of (Attacked unit) (Include bonuses))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal)
• Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_HandSonic_target)
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_HandSonic_point)

about the second trigger what should i set on the array?

 

[Magtheridon96]

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in HandSonic_target and do (Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Stampede\MissileDeath.mdl)
• Trigger - Run SFX Destroy <gen> (ignoring conditions)

This wouldn't work if you set it up like that.
It would only destroy one special effect.
You should do this:

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in HandSonic_target and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Stampede\MissileDeath.mdl)
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

About the second trigger, now that I can think clearly, I realized that I understood you wrong. Could you rephrase this:

this triggers is supposed to damage and slow enemy unit near the caster while the caster channeling, but i want to make the skill affect the enemy near his illusions after he uses a mirror image ability and then use the channeling skill, the special effect should be appear at the illusion's position
how to do that?

 

[illmaster]

so, my hero has an ability to create some illusion, what i want is to make the illusions do the same thing and same effect when the hero casts a spell

 

[Magtheridon96]

Oh!
What you have to do is:
When he casts the illusions spell, store the units in a hashtable with Key(Triggering unit) (meaning the caster)
And when you cast this spell, load the units from the hashtable (his illusions) and order them to cast the spell)
But you have to check if the units are available else you will hit an infinite loop.
To check if the illusions are available, load them from the hashtable using Key(Triggering unit) as an index and check if their HP is greater than 0. (Null units have 0 hp)
If the units are available, order them to cast the spell.
This won't cause an infinite loop because the illusions' instances of the spell won't order anything to cast the spell since loading the units from the hashtable using their keys would return null.

 

[illmaster]

is the illusions have the spell?

 

[Magtheridon96]

You should give the illusions the spell if they don't have it (UnitAddAbility)

 

[illmaster]

but someone said that i cant give the illusion an ability
