Problem with removing dummy unit

[Blackair]

hello everyone
i got a problem on creating spell ive created a mui spell called Cone of cold (like wow`s one) based on (breath of frost)
but the problem is the dummy unit will not remove from game ive done many things to remove by triggers but not working and also i tried to pick units in Coc_Group (the dummy group)then remove it but its not working too
any idea to remove the dummy units like that?
here is the end part of trigger

• Else - Actions
  • -------- Remove Track --------
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Spells_CoC_Group and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
  • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child (Key (Picked unit)) in Hash
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Spells_CoC_Point1)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Spells_CoC_Point2)
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Spells_CoC_Group)
  • Trigger - Turn off Cone of Cold Loop <gen>

show me the trigger that adds the dummy to the Spells_CoC_Group coz it should work or
maybe your dummy has locust ability...

Unit - Add expiration timer.
It won't need to be removed eitherways.

 

[Tigrick]

maybe just give negative health regeneration to the dummy unit - give the 'locust' ability to it and make its health value rather low - the rest is just a question of timing.

Why complicate things? Dummy could still get positive regeneration from other skills.

Yes, an expiration timer will do the trick. You can always remove the dummy units from game when they die.

• Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child (Key (Picked unit)) in Hash

This should be inside the looping function to properly clear the data of that unit. Else, it would be a data leak.

Thanks guys the problem was in the cast trigger

 

[Blackair]

guys can someone help me?
i changed my idea ,i decided to change the base spell to something that wont need target ,i mean just like thunderclap but there is some problem with thunderclap first of its waving the ground like hell i dont need earthquake!, it will wave even if i remove the data and effect also i removed the effect area it wont wave and it wont add buff to units too what should i do someone help me? which spell do you suggest for cone of cold?

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Triggered Sorceress' Slow that will pick Area Groups?

Misunderstood. War Stomp with no target would do the trick.

 

[Blackair]

look what would be happend if you use thunder clap or war stomp? ( i mean the effect)
i want to remove that effect!

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Fan of Knives?

 

[Blackair]

thank you its working now!
but it looks fake because the caster casts cone of cold in front of him but the behind enemy units will get buff too!

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Since when FoK leaves a buff?
Tried with Frost Breath thingy with damage over time without requirement of Drunken Haze buff? It pick linear type of selection, and you can even edit it's starting AoE spread to final AoE to match your spell's AoE.

Channel.........

 

[defskull]

Not unless you change each of the spell to have a different Data - Base Order ID in the Object Editor, it would not collide.
You can use any Order ID as you like, even if the target-type is Instant, you can still use 'charm' (a Target-unit type spell) as its Order ID, it would not bug.
This will prevent from Channels base ability colliding Order ID from one another.

 

[Blackair]

you mean if i use channel for all of the abilities it wont be bugged any more?
in mean time i misunderstood about Order ID i would wonder if you explain about it

 

[mckill2009]

But be reminded that channeled base spell cannot be casted by computer controlled players unless you trigger them...
