[Trigger] Quest triggering Problem

[RED BARON]

I use this trigger (try to):

• Events
• Unit-A unit Begins casting an ability
• Conditions
• (Ability being cast) Equal to Ensnare (Neutral Hostile)
• Actions
• Unit-Pause(Triggering unit)
• Set EnsnaredPig=(Target unit of ability being cast)
• Wait 0.10 seconds
• Unit-Move EnsnaredPig instantly to (Random point in Pig Mission Spawn <gen>)
• Game-Display to Player 1 (Red), at offset (0.00, 0.00) for 3.00 seconds the text:
• Wait 0.05 seconds
• Unit-Unpause (Triggering unit)

And before someone comment about the design.. it is only for singleplayer use this one..
But I thought of following resons to why it fails:
The spell is from an item that the player uses on the pig
I shouldnt pause hero so soon
Else nothing. Just want to add, it says the message, but doesnt catch or do anything to the pig, not even ensnare it.

Use A unit Starts the effect of an ability instead of begins casting.

I think it's because of your event, it should be "a unit starts the effect of an ability" because there is a difference between those two, you event will fire before cooldown and mana and the spell won't work because you paused the caster just when he was going to cast the spell, "starts the effect of an ability" fires when there's nothing you can do to prevent the spell, when the caster has already lost mana and his spell begins to cooldown, understand?

Diablo said the right thing, i think... and silvernon thanks for replaying, but please do read the post first.... I said item... there is no cooldown or mana involved, and the pause thing doesnt mean anything...in the moment I say begins casting the pig is trapped already... but Diablo I try changing what you suggestet. And to silvernon understand perfectly.. knowed already..

Edit: Didnt work, as I supposed, and it cant be because it is item, because the message is shown, the pig just doesnt get moved..

I was posting, but Diablo beat me to it .

It doesn't matter if the spell has no mana or cooldown, I was just giving the full definition of "a unit begins casting an ability" event

 

[RED BARON]

Still there is the problem

Okay Here is all the triggers I use in the quest. Sry no trigger tags. lazy:

Problem is as already said, it doesnt move the pigs to the region, only writes the ingame message.

Catch Pigs:

Set EnsnaredPig = (Target unit of ability being cast)

is this action (and all the other actions that follow with "Target unit of ability being cast") working? because while i have not actually tried anything like it, i dont think an ability Target can be used with an item event....the actions must relate to the event and i dont see (correct me if im wrong) how this relates to the event at all.

The first trigger I tryid using was with ability being cast, as written in my first post, if I remember right, but it didnt work, same as now where it is only the ingame message that popup. Then someone suggested that I should try with item event insted, but then I doesnt know what to catch the target pig with, so I used the target of ability being cast, becuase the item is casting an ability, but didnt work. Could someone tell: Event, and set target too. Then I could get on with it. While I am writting this I just got an idea, I will return if it work/didnt work.
Edit: My idea didnt work...
REaly hope someone could point out exactly what I should do. This stupid trigger has been blocking my progress for about 6 days now. Realy Realy irritating

Try this:

• Oh Noes
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) has buff Ensnare (Air)) Equal to True
        • ((Triggering unit) has buff Ensnare (General)) Equal to True
        • ((Triggering unit) has buff Ensnare (Ground)) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: asdfgdsfsg

obviously, add a condition to stop the actions from happening constantely when a unit is ensnared but getting attacked. also you might have to add attack damage to the ensnare ability. i havent tested this but it should work....if not i will give you an improved version.

 

[RED BARON]

Yes was also trying to use attacked, nut coulnt figure the conditions out, buff condition perfect. Thanks. Now I just have to try it out, and maybe use an other ability then ensnare for the damage.
Where did you find the:

• ((Triggering unit) has buff Ensnare (General)) Equal to true[Trigger] ?
• Cant find it...
• Maybe post a screenshot of where?

 

[GST_Nemisis]

its a boolean condition, it is something like "Unit - Unit Has Specific Buff" then just select ensnare

 

[RED BARON]

Ahh thanks
Was looking at buff and unit....

Dammit It didnt work, or rather it did, but only when the hero himself killed the pig, not with dmg, wanted the ability to be the one who moved pig, just didnt work. Then I made the ability kill the pig, and made this trigger:

And now it doesnt work at all. Ideas? It is not even showing the text message.
