[Trigger] Random Shock Trigger not working?

[GreeN!X]

Okay, so i'm working on a trigger for a trap (well, kind of a trap) and I don't know why it's not working.. The dummy doesn't cast finger of death on the target even if the dummy is complete (has life, has mana, has the ablity(the ability has no mana cost, no casting time, etc)) It would be great if you guys could point out what I missed or did wrong... and BTW, it was supposed to: has 25% chance Use finger of death on every unit in the region, then wait 5 seconds(or so so) so that it cvould cast again..

Trigger 1

Trigger 2

Trigger 3

instead of ordering a unit to cast a spell on multiple other units. try creating a dummy unit, give it the spell, order it to cast and then do the same for the next target in the group.

eg

example

• Then - Actions
  • Set Lightning_Shock_Group_1 = (Units in LIGHTNING_SHOCK_1)
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Lightning_Shock_Group_1 and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Picked unit))
      • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for aaTempPlayer at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
      • Unit - Add a 1.50 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Add LightningShockAbility to (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Special Archimonde - Finger Of Death (Picked unit)
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_TempPoint)

use Orb of Lightning, set chance to 25%, set ability to forked lightning, set forked lightning's lightning to finger of death, set cooldown to 5sec.

also. use

• doesn't OoL fire only when a unit attacks? I want the generator (dummy unit) to shock only every 5 sec but not attack.. and I also want to have a warning for the player when the next shock is (the floaty part)..

is your dummy configured correctly? does the spell cost 0 mana?

(yeah, what i said wouldnt work, misunderstood you)

Show me the trigger.

delete the condition in trigger 1. instead of wait, use triggered counter or timer for the next wave of shock. don't use waits.

I would change that condition into less than or equal to 25 (100 was just for testing purposes).. Was gonna change it to timers but was kinda lazy.. I'll change it later

is your dummy configured correctly? does the spell cost 0 mana?

(yeah, what i said wouldnt work, misunderstood you)

My dummy even has the max mana and the spell doesn't have any mana cost..

Show me the trigger.

HERE IT IS:

• Random Shock 1
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 25
      • Then - Actions
        • Set LightningShock_Group_1 = (Units in LIGHTNING Shock 1 <gen>)
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Lightning_Group_1 and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Set LightningShock_Target_1 = (Picked unit)
            • Set LightningShock_Point_1 = (Position of Lightning Generator 0141 <gen>)
            • Unit - Create 1 Lightning Generator Dummy for Player 12 (Brown) at LightningShock_Point_1 facing Default building facing degrees
            • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
            • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Special Archimonde - Finger Of Death LightningShock_Target_1
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_LightningShock_Point_1)
      • Else - Actions

Not MUI

Not MUI

I'll deal with MUI-ness later.. right now I just want it to work.. so BUMP.!

 

[eubz]

This should be made MUI because if you have more than one lightning generator the spell will not work as you expect it to work.

alright I'll try.. but while waiting for replies I tried different things for my trigger..

tried changing the event.. changing the base spell..

New trigger (not really)

• Random Shock 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set LightningShock_Group_1 = (Units in LIGHTNING Shock 1 <gen>)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 100
        • ((Triggering unit) is in LightningShock_Group_1) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Lightning_Group_1 and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Set LightningShock_Target_1 = (Picked unit)
            • Set LightningShock_Point_1 = (Position of Lightning Generator 0141 <gen>)
            • Unit - Create 1 Lightning Generator Dummy for Player 12 (Brown) at LightningShock_Point_1 facing Default building facing degrees
            • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
            • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning LightningShock_Target_1
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_LightningShock_Point_1)
      • Else - Actions

and just in case.. this is what i really want to do..

In the first trigger you can assign regions to the traps.
In the third trigger, set the chance, and the cooldown time here

• Custom script: call SaveInteger(udg_TrapHash, udg_i, 1, 5)

My trigger updates every 0.25 seconds, so the cooldown is 5*0.25 = 1.25 seconds.
