[Spell] Polar Offset not working?!?!

[Gideon13]

This is really freaking me out.

I have a dummy spell (based on channel) and a trigger.

Once the spell is cast the trigger is supposed to create some Tree Wall destructibles.... but it is not working... I am using polar offset from where the ability is targeting as the point but it keeps defaulting to the center of the map for some reason... it is really annoying...

here is the trigger....

• Nature Tree Spawn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Nature Stimulation
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Destructible - Create a Tree Wall at (TempPoint offset by (Random real number between 25.00 and 50.00) towards (Random real number between 1.00 and 359.00) degrees) facing (Random angle) with scale (Random real number between 0.80 and 1.20) and variation (Random integer number between 1 and 10)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

any help would be greatly appreciated...

Change your event to A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Also, you have 1 leak, that is your OffsetLoc, you did not set it, therefore you can't remove it.

Your leak the offset, also use "A unit Starts the effect of an ability":

• Detonador sin nombre 001
  • Acontecimientos
    • Unidad - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Condiciones
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Nature Stimulation
  • Actions
    • Set Temp = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop: Acciones
        • Set Temp_Offset = (Temp offset by 256.00 towards (Random angle) degrees)
        • Destructible - Create a Tree Wall at Temp_Offset facing (Random angle) with scale 1.00 and variation 0
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Offset)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp)

Edit: Well, defskull answered fast.

wow...

wow I feel dumb...

Thanks defskull!

Still new to this stuff, pointing me in the right direction to make this MUI and leak free would be awesome.

I have been looking around online for tutorials on this and found little that I completely understand so far.

EDIT:
You beat me to asking for it... thanks

MUI and Leaks?

So is this MUI and take care of the leaks?

• Nature Tree Spawn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Nature Stimulation
  • Actions
    • Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Target point of ability being cast) as 0 of (Key (Casting unit)) in locHashTable
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 15, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Hashtable - Save Handle Of((Load 0 of (Key (Casting unit)) in (Last created hashtable)) offset by (Random real number between 100.00 and 200.00) towards (Random angle) degrees) as 1 of (Key (Casting unit)) in locHashTable
        • Destructible - Create a Tree Wall at (Load 1 of (Key (Casting unit)) in locHashTable) facing (Random angle) with scale (Random real number between 0.80 and 1.20) and variation (Random integer number between 1 and 10)
    • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child (Key (Casting unit)) in locHashTable

Thanks guys for the awesome help so far!

Well, if ur spell is an instant spell (meaning it will take effect right after the cast), u dont need it to be MUI.

 

[defskull]

Just like hayaku said, as long as your spells (or triggers) that has instant effect (takes effect immediately, does not need to wait for any other matter), the spell would be by default, MUI, even if it's casted by more than 1 units at a time.

Because apparently, Warcraft III uses single-threaded mechanism to fire trigger order so it can never collide with the restriction; the trigger has instant effect (like yours).

By the way, you don't need to use hashtable for this simple trigger, lol.
Just use it normally.
