[Spell] Removing ability (item) from a unit.

[SSJ7107]

Ok, so my problem is, I made a AoE spell that decreases armor of enemy units nearby, so I made a dummy spell based on the bonus armor in item category and added it to nearby enemy units. But the problem is... I cant remove them. Why??

 

[RG00]

Use "remove ability" and "add ability", i tested it with a spell which gives armor bonus and it worked

 

[SSJ7107]

I used them it still doesn't work...

 

[RG00]

I can create an example trigger for you, but first I want to be sure if I understood completely, you need a spell which enemies units gain if your hero is close and this ability will be removed if your hero goes away am I right?

 

[Daffa]

Unit Groups might be picking wrong units. Perhaps show triggers?

 

[RG00]

This work perfectly and it's very simple

 

[SSJ7107]

Sorry for the really really late reply, also sorry for the misinformation, the skill can be activated which decreases armor of nearby units.

you have made a mistake which we can't identify unless you post triggers

In my map you will find what you are searching for except that the ability is passive and it's every time active, but however I don't think it will be hard to make it actionable, just make an ability that activate the trigger in my map and after some time it will disabled it.

Sorry I'm new to this site so I don't know how to post the entire trigger but if you want I can write it there.

P.S. Sorry for bad English.

To copy a GUI trigger into a forum post.

1. Select trigger root. This is usually above Events and is the element with the trigger name.
2. Right click trigger root.
3. Select the option to copy trigger as text.
4. Change forum post area to "Use BB Code Editor" instead of the default Rich editor. This prevents the trigger text being automatically mangled.
5. Paste the trigger text in-between trigger tags [TRIGGER]Trigger Text Here[/TRIGGER].

Oh ok i see, thank you Dr Super Good, I will try that immediately with the triggers which are in the test that I sent.

Ok my triggers requires 3 variables: one is a unit group where you should put every units who can be targeted by the ability of decreasing armor, the other variable is a unit variable and is your hero unit, the last variable is a point variable for check enemies units in range of your hero.

• map initialization
  • Eventi
    • Map initialization
  • Condizioni
  • Azioni
    • Visibilità - Create an initially Attivo visibility modifier for Giocatore (Rosso) emitting Visibilità across (Playable map area)
    • Set bad_guys = (Units owned by Giocatore 2 (Blu))

• range check
  • Eventi
    • Tempo - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Condizioni
  • Azioni
    • Gruppo di unità - Pick every unit in bad_guys and do (Actions)
      • Giro - Azioni
        • Set good_guy_position = (Position of Fante 0001 <gen>)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • Se - Condizioni
            • ((Picked unit) is in (Units within 500.00 of good_guy_position)) Uguale a TRUE
          • Allora - Azioni
            • Unità - Add Decrease Armor (+10) to (Picked unit)
          • Altrimenti - Azioni
            • Unità - Remove Decrease Armor (+10) from (Picked unit)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_good_guy_position)

These 2 triggers will do all the work.

PS My editor is in Italian so if you don't understand something just tell me and I'm going to explain

RG00 your trigger leaks a group for every "bad_guys" unit every second. The group leak is located in the if then else condition. It also does not seem very MUI friendly, which might be a requirement.

There is an Edit button. I recommend editing your post rather than multi posting.

I'm not an expert with triggers leak but the group should every time be replaced because it should store the group in the variable I think.

It also does not seem very MUI friendly, which might be a requirement.

I tested it and it works even if you have 100 enemy units in your map, however it works only if you have only your hero who is using this ability.

Yes, I know sorry, That was my first time pasting a trigger in the message and I thought it may be necessary to make a post for each trigger. That is not going to happen again I promise.

I am referring to this leak...

((Picked unit) is in (Units within 500.00 of good_guy_position)) Uguale a TRUE

You create a new unit group "Units within 500.00 of good_guy_position" but never destroy it.

tested it and it works even if you have 100 enemy units in your map, however it works only if you have only your hero who is using this ability.

He might need multiple heroes to support the ability. Depends on requirements.

Sorry I didn't see it thanks for the information I'm going to fix that immediately.

Sorry but I didn't managed to make a MUI trigger with all of those units groups which I have to create. Too hard for me I think.

@SSJ7107 If you want to create a negative armour aura, you can use a custom Devotion Aura with a negative value (shift+enter or shift+clicking on the field in the Object Editor). You can then use a trigger to add the custom aura to the unit and then using indexing, to check every X seconds if the duration of the aura is over and if so, remove it.

 

[Lord Aiden]

Why don't you just modify howl of terror to do the same thing? It seems way easier to do instead of using triggers.

 

[Dehua_Darbuya]

That's what I initially thought too but I figured he only wants units nearby to be affected throughout the duration of the spell.

 

[kuyondo]

use devotion aura. set it to -10 armor. add to your good guy.
