[Dinodin]

Hi. I need help to make a spell who works like a trap that is hidden for enemies and explodes and affects enemies with poison if the walks on it. The poison shall do damage per second. Any idéas how to do this?

Doesnt xecollider call GroupEnum every .025 or .03 sec?

It might be better to use that unit comes in range event thingy.

If you dont like destroying triggers you can also recycle those trap units.

Use goblin land mine.

Unit dies, if dying unit is land mine, then pick all units in 300 range of dying unit matching is enemy and alive and use dummy unit to apply poisons.

The period is whatever you set it to.

And I can have dozens of those things flying around in my map at the same time without any problems.

Dont know how much you can modify that what units trigger goblin landmine, but if it works for you, you should use it.

Naturally, but its still waste. One can make a map with laggless projectiles with GUI too, but thats still not the best way.

edit. Actually, GroupEnum periodicly might be better way afterall, Im not sure. Its been long since I used that unit comes in range event thingy, and if I remember correctly it had some delay when triggering. I cant test this stuff now, because Im on vacation, so Dinodin I suggest you to try both ways and see which one works better.

Thx for helping me but I'm noob at triggers. Could you please send me a map with it so I can paste it in to mine?

I have the exact spell but with entangle, so i could send it if you like. Easy as shit, just that i thought it didn't work until i realised that i had turned the trigger off....

Sure send it! Do you mean it has an entangling root effect when it explodes??

yes, but just change that. I don't really have time right now to send it, but i send it either later today(night for me) or tomorrow, that is oki?

Best and simpliest idea, xD

 

[Dinodin]

One more thing! If the enemies are killed by the poison I want the kill to go to the owner of the trap not to a dummy unit or something else.

 

[Erkowich]

The map, i place a dummy unit and the trigger inside of it. I suggest you try figuring the rest out ofr your self. So you learn something from this^^

Doesn't work :/ When the trap dies, no dummy unit is coming and not casting a poison either and I can only order it to cast normal spells not custom spells I have made by myself :/

 

[Dinodin]

Plz there must be a way to do a spell like this. I really need it to my map..

This is from one of my old maps. You can replace the Net Trap ability with a different ability for the effect you want, in this case its poison. So you can give the dummy unit 0-0 dmg and a poison attack and order it to attack the picked unit or use Shadow Strike or any similiar effect.

• Net Trap
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Net Trap
  • Actions
    • Set Point1 = (Position of (Dying unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Dying unit)) at Point1 facing 0.00 degrees
    • Set Dummy = (Last created unit)
    • -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- --------
    • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to Dummy
    • -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- --------
    • Set UnitGroup1 = (Units within 200.00 of Point1 matching ((((Owner of (Matching unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of (Dying unit))) Equal to True) and (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Mountain King) and (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True))))
    • Set UnitGroup2 = (Random 1 units from UnitGroup1)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup2 and do (Unit - Order Dummy to Orc Raider - Ensnare (Picked unit))
    • -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- --------
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point1)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_UnitGroup1)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_UnitGroup2)

EDIT
Dont use OR in the conditions and UnitGroup2 is unnecessary it will just make your trap to work on one unit only.

That doesn't work! No dummy unit is created when it dies...and I don't want them to be trapped in poison like "Net" I want a damage per second effect on them. Is there no simple trigger where you just can cause a poison buff to all enemies within the area of the poison trap when it explodes?

 

[Super-Sheep]

Yes it works.

If you dont undestand anything just quit it.

 

[Dinodin]

Yes it works.

If you dont undestand anything just quit it.

Could you please make a map with it then? I can't get it work Are you sure all units near the trap will be effect and not just a random one?

 

[Super-Sheep]

Yeah sorry. You need "Pick all units in UnitGroup1 and do actions - Create 1 dummy, order dummy to cast to picked unit, add expiration timer". Now it should work on multiple units.

Would you please make a map then with this trigger? Can you try make 4 lvls for it too?..I have tried to do like your trigger but I fail everytime

To make more levels you can create new traps and name them as Trap lvl 1, 2, 3 and 4. And then use If/Then/Else actions to check if the unit was level 1, 2, 3 or 4 and then create the corresponding dummy.

Yay! Thx it worked. I made one dummy unit for each lvl with a higher poison attack lvl in each and made triggers for them. Works perfect!
