Polymorph Cloud

[PrisonLove]

I'm trying to make an ability called polymorph cloud that will create a cloud at a target location that will cast polymorph on any unit that goes under it. So far I've created a cloud with the locust and polymorph abilities (I wan't the cloud invulnerable and unselectable), and polymorph has no tech requirements or mana. I tried using this trigger but it doesn't seem to be working does anyone have any idea as to how to make this work?

  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to polymorph <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 300.00 of (Summoned unit))

• polymorph

    • Unit - Order (Summoned unit) to Human Sorceress - Polymorph (Triggering unit)

i didnt look what u tried but this is how i would do it:

• Event
• Every 0.06 seconds
• Actions
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in units of type cloud and do multiple actions
  • Set picked unit - TempUnit
  • Run seppo.gen

• seppo.gen
• Event
• Conditions
• Actions
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in units in 300 distance from TempUnit
  • Unit - order TempUnit to Human Sorceress - Polymorph [Picked Unit]

I would try to do it like this:

Unit begins the efect of an ability
= cloud
set a = last summoned unit
Turn on trigger 2

Trigger 2
Unit comes within 300 of a
make a polymorph unit

This however isn't MUI if you need it that way.

Unfortunatley I do need it to be MUI.

I think you must then try making it somehow with regions. I don't have an idea for now.

      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Human Sorceress - Polymorph (Triggering unit)

This trigger will pick any Polymorph Clouds that are in 300 range of the triggering unit and order them to cast Polymorph on the triggering unit.

Try change the first event from Unit Spawns a summoned unit to Unit enters Playable Map Area, then change the Summoned Unit fields to Triggering Unit.

what the heck is wrong with my way D:

what the heck is wrong with my way D:

Your TempUnit variable is a global variable no? Then your trigger won't work if there's more than 2 polymorph clouds on the map, and he said he wanted his spell to be MUI.

 

[doom_sheep]

my tempunit is temporary, sherlock. its fully MUI.

 

[Battle_Shipper]

Ha Ha. Your trigger will run every 0.06 seconds but what if there's more than 1 polymorph cloud on the map? Huh? The variable will only store 1 unit and it will not work.

i dont think its possible to run 2 triggers at the exact same time. only problem i see with my trigger is that the cloud itself is doing the polymorphing (probably should be done with a dummy)

Um... I seriously don't see any link between running 2 triggers at the same time and your spell being MUI.

 

[doom_sheep]

well i use the same method for hooks arrows etc and they all work.

its very MUI, but will spam them if they are inside the cloud. need a work around if they gonna just be polyed 1 time by each cloud. add them to a group array for each cloud eg.

add this to the map header

function H2I takes handle h returns integer
    return h
    return 0
endfunction
