[warden13]

I m making an ability "Storm bolt based rocket strike" it have 2500 range. And i want to add "push" effect. I am using WE. Pls give me its triggers.

For a knockback effect see:
http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=28217
and go to
5. Kattana’s Local Handle Vars
However, if you don't have any handle on JASS, this will most likely obliterate your mind. I'd suggest learning basic JASS first, then moving onto this.

I dont know Jass can you give me GUI

Rocket Strike
Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Rocket Strike
Actions
Set TriggeringUnitPointVar = (Position of (Triggering unit))
For each (Integer A) from 1 to 1, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Create 1 Dum Dum for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) facing Default building facing degrees
Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral - Breath Of Frost ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 100.00 towards NovaRotationTargetVar degrees)
Set NovaRotationTargetVar = (NovaRotationTargetVar + 10.00)

Pushback Copy
Events
Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) has buff pandaa ) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to True
((Picked unit) is A ground unit) Equal to True
Then - Actions
Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to ((Position of (Picked unit)) offset by 50.00 towards (Angle from TriggeringUnitPointVar to (Position of (Picked unit))) degrees)
Else - Actions
Do nothing

Breathe of Frost gives pandaa buff to enemy.

I made that but i have a problem. It pushes only one time. I want to increase it. What must i change? Please help me.

If you use [Trigger [/Trigger Instead of ''Box'', it would be much easier to read

 

[warden13]

I looked vB code page to trigger box code but i couldnt find it i will use it soon =)

It's just [TRIGGER][HIGHLIGHT]<Your trigger text here>[/code][/TRIGGER]

Everything else happens automatically.

Welllll...
Few things:
0.01 seconds will lag, and cause you INFINITE PAIN AND DOOM!
Change to 0.03-0.05, those will run about as smoothly, with 90% less lag.
also, your periodic trigger leaks (3 times!), which will also cause you INFINITE PAIN AND DOOM!
To fix this, do such

• Set Var_ALP = Position of Picked Unit
• Set Var_ALP2 = ALP offset by 50 toward (Angle from TriggeringUnitPointVar to (ALP)) degrees)
• custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Var_ALP)
• custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Var_ALP2)

Do this where you would use a point. NOTE that polar projection uses 2 locations rather than one. Groups leak too. Therefore, we must do:

• Set Var_ALG = Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) has buff pandaa ) Equal to True)
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Var_ALG) and do (Actions)
• Loop - Actions
• blah blah blah
• //When you are done with your actions, put this at the very end of your trigger:
• custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Var_ALG)

You have leaks in your initialization trigger, but I'll let u find them yourself as a learning experience
Third: In order to make this a 600 distance jump, then your distance is probably too much, unless your buff lasts really short.
My advice: To do this more accurately, since a unit might get a buff dispelled or something, (and seeing as how the way you wrote this, it already isn't Multiinstancable) Do:

• Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
• (Ability being cast) Equal to Rocket Strike
• Actions
• Set VAR_UnitTraget = Unit of Target Ability being cast.
• Wait 1.00 seconds
• Set VAR_UnitTarget = No Unit.

• Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
• Set Var_ALP = (Position of (VAR_UnitTarget)
• Set Var_ALP2 = (Var_ALP) offset by 30 towards (Angle from TriggeringUnitPointVar to (Position of (Picked unit))) degrees)
• Unit - Move (Var_UnitTarget) instantly to (ALP2)

However, if you want it to be a group of units to slide, make these simple changes:

• Set VAR_UnitTarget = Unit of Target Ability being cast.

Changes to:

• Set Var_ALP = Position of (Unit of Target Ability being cast.
• Set VAR_GroupTarget = Units within (<YOUR AOE HERE>) of Var_ALP
• custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_VAR_ALP)
• Wait 1.00 seconds
• custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_VAR_GroupTarget)

And

• Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
• Set Var_ALP = (Position of (VAR_UnitTarget)
• Set Var_ALP2 = (Var_ALP) offset by 30 towards (Angle from TriggeringUnitPointVar to (Position of (Picked unit))) degrees)
• Unit - Move (Var_UnitTarget) instantly to (ALP2)

changes to:

• Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in VAR_GroupTarget and do actions:
• Loop - Actions
• Set Var_ALP = (Position of (Picked Unit)
• Set Var_ALP2 = (Var_ALP) offset by 30 towards (Angle from TriggeringUnitPointVar to (Position of (Picked unit))) degrees)
• Unit - Move (Picked Unit) instantly to (ALP2)

There are many other ways to improve this trigger, but none without handle variables like I said before...
Feel free to ask any questions about this.

Thx i will try (If I can)

I want storm bolt pushes single target 600 range. That's all. But I dont understand angle/point with ofset triggers. Can you make completely for me. Thanks. I dont understand donut's trigers böö.

 

[donut3.5]

Ok, I pretty much made it for you anyways, but here goes:
This is your first trigger:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Rocket Strike
• Actions
  • Set VAR_UnitTraget = Unit of Target Ability being cast.
  • Set TriggeringUnitPointVar = Position of (Triggering Unit)
  • Wait 1.00 seconds
  • Set VAR_UnitTarget = No Unit.

This is your second trigger:

• Events
  • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Var_ALP = (Position of (VAR_UnitTarget)
  • Set Var_ALP2 = (Var_ALP) offset by 30 towards (Angle from TriggeringUnitPointVar to ALP) degrees)
  • Unit - Move (Var_UnitTarget) instantly to (ALP2)
  • Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Var_ALP)
  • Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Var_ALP2)

The variables you need in this are:
TriggeringUnitPointVar which is a point with no array and no initial value.
Var_ALP which is a point with no array and no initial value.
Var_ALP2 which is a point with no array and no initial value.
And That's it. Tell me if this doesn't work, I haven't tested it.

There is a problem in your triggers. It pushes false rotation. You can try in this map.

 

[donut3.5]

Its because you wrote the trigger wrong...
You had the first trigger, second action to be like such:
Set TriggeringUnitPointVar = (Position of Var_UnitTarget)
Whereas it was supposed to be
Set TriggeringUnitPointVar = (Position of (TriggeringUnit))

Thank you you are KING!!!!!11!!!1

P.S: I have never eaten a donut

 

[Dr Super Good]

I honestly do not understand why people have trouble with push back. I find it hard to make a spell without some kind of trigger movement system and all that needs is basic maths. The first JASS spell I made was a push back nova.

 

[warden13]

I tried with Push Back Nova's triggers but I colund't do it. Do you think you are best? Doctor! My words are for you! Open your ears and listen me! YOU ARE NOOB!

 

[donut3.5]

Uh oh... Never insult a moderator...
Usually if you can't implement a spell, its your problem or lack of comprehension... Not the authors, especially if it was an approved map.

I am new at triggering. It's normal for me. I want to learn new things. And by means of donuts, I learned push back thanks again!
