Hi there! Okay, I have 2 teams, but 4 bases (2 for each) in my map.

Every hero has an ability Recall to channel it and teleport to base within 10 seconds. If someone hits him during channel - it will break his cast. If hero moves - he breaks his cast.

I have 4 points to teleport, but only 2 teams. So, look what I have (I was trying to do it MUI, but it's not what I expected :D):

  • Recall start
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Recall

          • Set Recall_ON[Player_Number_Int] = True
          • Wait 10.00 seconds

Help me please :vw_sad:

And yes, I was trying to use timers instead of Waits, but I can't set Integer array in Events field....(((

My ADD strikes again!

I don't exactly know what the problem is either, but you could do something a lot simpler. Without using waits, too, cause these'll mess it up...

This is what comes to mind:

Base 'Recall' off 'Channel' or whatever targetless ability, adjust the things you need to adjust, and make the casting time 10 seconds (not the follow through time, leave that on 0). That way, it'll take 10 seconds to cast and cancel upon being given other orders.

If the unit (Starts the effect of an ability), that ability being Recall, teleport him to his corresponding base. (Also remove it from the unit group I'm about to mention)

For the cancelling-on-attack (and added special effects when casting, in case your hero doesn't have a casting animation or you want something extra), this is what I'd do:

1. When unit (Begins channeling an ability), of course being 'Recall',

Add the unit to a unit group.

Create a dummy special effect unit on it (optional), and store it as a variable (indexing, or using hashtables, so that it's MUI.) Give the special effect a 10 seconds expiration time too, and if it's cancelled early, here:

2. Using the DDS, detect when a unit from the aforementioned unit group is attacked, and delete the corresponding special effect, while ordering the attacked unit to 'Stop'. You also have to make an event for if the unit moves to delete the special effect, if you're using one.

I wrote this in a hurry, I can explain stuff better if you want :x

Or maybe someone else has a better solution.

or you could just do it dynamically by setting points before hand, instead of using
"center of <some area>" which in your case also leaks.

Also, I believe the problem lies in the fact that the variable Player_Number_Int holds the number of the player who used the ability later.

Click to expand...

o_O How can it leak? Do centers of regions leak and should be cleaned??? :goblin_jawdrop:

I thought it conciders only Points and Positions...

Allright! I found how to do it easier))))

Taking the center of a region will give you a point. Points leak if you don't destroy them.

I made a MUI implementation of this Recall spell (mostly for my own amusement but I guess you can have the map to look at). Just briefly explaining the concept: I used dummy units with expiration timers as timers for the channeling period of each spell instance. I used a technique with read and write index described in this tutorial to make the spell MUI.

You are free to ask me questions about the code or the general concept or whatever if you're interested in implementing something similar.
