Random Infernals

[donken6]

I want to make dummies spawn random Infernal balls using the basic "Infernal" skill so I tried like this:

• Armageddon
  • Events
    • Time - Every 10.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Armageddon for Player 21 (Coal) at (Random point in meteor 1 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Hide (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Dreadlord - Inferno (Position of (Last created unit))
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Last created unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Human\FlameStrike\FlameStrikeTarget.mdl
    • Set VariableSet A1 = (Last created special effect)
    • Unit - Create 1 Armageddon for Player 21 (Coal) at (Random point in meteor 2 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Hide (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Dreadlord - Inferno (Position of (Last created unit))
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Last created unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Human\FlameStrike\FlameStrikeTarget.mdl
    • Set VariableSet A2 = (Last created special effect)
    • Unit - Create 1 Armageddon for Player 21 (Coal) at (Random point in meteor 2 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Hide (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Dreadlord - Inferno (Position of (Last created unit))
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Last created unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Human\FlameStrike\FlameStrikeTarget.mdl
    • Set VariableSet A3 = (Last created special effect)
    • Wait 7.90 seconds
    • Special Effect - Destroy A1
    • Special Effect - Destroy A2
    • Special Effect - Destroy A3

Everything looks like its working, just one problem, enemy units doesnt recive any dmg at landing spot?

Skills stats:

dmg: 1000
Duration: 0.1s
Impact delay: 1s
Aoe: 300
Cast time: 8s

Pls show all the stats of the ability

PD: You should look for Memory Leak.

 

[Uncle]

1) Don't hide the dummy
2) Make sure the dummy can cast the ability (cast range, mana cost, requirements, etc)
3) You're leaking points

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Wasnt there a campaign ability that does exactly that?

 

[donken6]

1) Don't hide the dummy
2) Make sure the dummy can cast the ability (cast range, mana cost, requirements, etc)
3) You're leaking points

as I said, the spell goes off, its just the dmg part buggering
The Special effect is just there to warn player for inc Infernal in 8s (the greenish flame effect)

PD: You should look for Memory Leak.

What does this mean?

 

[DoomBlade]

Whenever you use a point you need to remove it when it is no longer in use.

• Customscript: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)

EDIT: After you destroy the special effects use this codeline to remove your locations.

EDIT: Things That Leak This is a very useful and a must learn thing if you wanna be a mapper

Is Player 21 an enemy of whichever player's unit's don't get damaged?

• Unit - Create 1 Armageddon for Player 21 (Coal) at (Random point in meteor 1 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
• Set VariableSet Arm1 = (Position of (Last created unit))

Both of these lines create new locations, which are never destroyed automatically by the game.
Therefore every time this trigger runs, you have more and more locations that are only used once, and then reside in your game's memory forever until you close it.
Look at the message above how to destroy them.

In this case, one of the locations you store in a variable that you can later destroy, and the other location you don't store anywhere and thus cannot destroy.
To fix this, reverse the order of operations.
First create the location where you want the inferno to land and store it in your variable.
Then order to cast the spell and create the sfx on this stored variable.
Then destroy the location referenced by this variable.

 

[Uncle]

You need to create the Dummys at the points.

(Random point in meteor 1 <gen>) needs to become Arm1

And there's no reason to Hide a Dummy unit, Dummys use the Locust ability which makes the unselectable, untargetable, and uncommandable (outside of triggers). You can set their Model to a blank path like "none" and they won't be visible.

You should add an Expiration Timer to your Dummys as well, so that they're destroyed after some time.

Is Player 21 an enemy of whichever player's unit's don't get damaged?

Yes, ofcourse Player 21 have the boss triggering all things in its arsenal.

Cheers for guiding a lost soul back on its path

However, this does not solve my main issue, the no dmg part...

Could it have something to do with that Inferno skill doesnt work so good with delayed casting time? (from instant cast to 8s cast]

 

[DoomBlade]

The inferno spell by default, does not deal damage if the unit is not summoned. Or at least it used to be that way.

Since you already have everything else you can trigger the damage too.

• Setvarible InfernoGroup = Units in range of (your location) matching condition

EDIT: Nevermind I made it for you.

Ah, there we have it.

I was thinking of making some dmg trigger to solve the problem.

Your solution looks alot easier tho, I'll go with that.
thanks
