[Trigger] problems with this spell-trigger

[Devine]

okey the final purpose is not to kill as in the trigger, its just for testing.
the spell, icy fog, is warstomp
and the buff, frozen(pause), is stun(pause)

why doesn't this trigger work? and please give me the right solution.

Did you make sure the units have the buff?

after casting the ability ... the unit should have the buff right? i mean i did it in object editor

Try replacing Kill (Picked unit) with Game - Display text to (All players): 1 to see if any units have the buff.

Hm, I dont really see why it wouldnt work, but a way which would work the same way would be the following:

• Triggah
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Icy Fog
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) has buff Frozen (pause)) Equal to True))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)

As second, if that wouldn't work, some spells isn't triggered by "finish casting". What happends if you try "starts the effect"?

Third, if that wouldn't work, sometimes the buffs arent added exactly after finishing casting an ability. You could try just for checking, to wait 1 second and then do the actions, but then however it will not be good for mui

/regards

i already tried taht first one but it might be diffrent ... il check it out
1st doesnt work
2nd doesnt work
3th doesnt work either

I think i've solved it (worked for me atleast). The buff doesn't appear directly when the ability is casted, but slightly after. For some reason the wait didn't work with your version, so i remade the whole thing.

Sorry for using screenie, but i haaven't learned the trigger tag 100% yet, and it messed up totally

Oh, and i used remove instead of kill for some reason. That has nothing to do with it.

To make it MUI remove Set cast = (casting unit) and then instead of cast use Triggering Unit.

 

[terradont]

Y, didn't think of it that way, i'm not using small waits very often(in fact i don't use waits very often), and it is better with triggering unit.

As far as i know, Triggering unit is mui itself, you dont need to set it to variable...

Im not sure about that anyways. I got that idea after testing my spell, when i used this simple trigger...

• Events:
  • Unit - A unit dies
• Conditions:
• Actions:
  • Wait 30.00 seconds
  • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing blah

...To respawn creeps. It worked perfectly, respawning the right unit at the right place. Ex. a Footman at the location of recently killed Footman. And i was beating down tons of units in the time of 30 seconds.
Not sure if this proof is good enough though I would be very grateful if someone told me if i am right here.

DevineArmy. As I said before, and as terradont pointed out as well, the buff doesn't appear instantly. A sidenote is that finish casting an ability can bug the trigger if its interrupted, but still the effects take place. And raft is right as well...

The trigger Terradont did should work. I made a similiar one (like an exact copy) and it worked as well...

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to War Stomp (Neutral Hostile 1)
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Debug!
    • Wait 0.10 game-time seconds
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) has buff Stunned (Pause)) Equal to True))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Inner Loop

If the help we suggested didn't work, perhaps you added the wrong buff... I see nothing else which could be wrong.

i can see the message but the units wont die

 

[Eccho]

You mean, you see the "inner loop" but the units arent dying?

Edit: are you using this in a map where you coded something else? Since it worked perfectly in a demo map, ehm Ill attach it, im sure you did nothing wrong though

 

[terradont]

doesnt work

That's really weird, cuz it worked perfectly for me.

 

[Devine]

yay i solved the problem

• CSFL
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Icy Fog
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 250.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching ((((Triggering unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)

the spell has 250 range ) so its right

 

[terradont]

y that is the easier way to do it, i thought u had special reasons for wanting to check the buff...

 

[Eccho]

xO alright... ofcourse... Silly me

But still I dont see the problem with the other one... never mind anyways
