[Trigger] Pyroblast ability.

[Space_Ship]

Hello, this ability is a projectile ability that travels 1600/1800/2000/2200 range or until an enemy is hit, deals aoe damage and creates another dummy unit and then loop 2 is turned on to deal aoe damage over time. Right now I am having trouble because my ability fires the projectile towards the center of the map instead of the location layed out..

You need to specify this first; this ability is a Unit/Point-target spell ?

 

[Arhowk]

its a channel based ability that has both point and unit targets valid

Anyway, your way overdoing it, ill show you how to do it easier when i get back...

 

[Space_Ship]

Yea it should work for unit target+point target, although even if a unit is targeted it should have a linear pattern still and not follow the target. Arhowk, thankyou it would be appreciated I solved my location/real problem so it does fly outwards but sometimes glitches and explodes instantly. Here is the recent test map with edited triggers..

 

[Maker]

Don't remove the stored locations until the spell ends.

• Hashtable - Save Handle OfTempLocation4 as 6 of AA02_IdInteger in AA99_Hash
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLocation4)

^Here for example you remove the location right after storing it, it doesn't exist anymore. If you try to use it, it will default to center of the map.

Make sure you don't remove locations loaded from the hashtable in the looping trigger, if you are going to need them during the next loop.

Spell fixed, seems to work great. Problem solved!
