[JASS] Setting the DMG of pit lord's ulti skill (with the flying things)

[S4dn3sS]

Hi.
I already asked it in Spells & Systems, but there i had no really help.
I try to set the DMG of the pit lords' ultimate skill (with these flying locusts attack enemy units, drain hp of them and give them to the casting Hero.) including a stat (ex. Int of the Hero) as dmg.

Gui and Mui aren't helping, Jass needs to help now.
Is there a way ?

You mean Crypt Lord right?
Pit Lord's ultimate is doom.
BTW, MUI just means multi-instance able, it isn't a programming language or anything.

<-Needs still much to learn.
Yea, i mean Crypt Lord, sorry.

Well, if you don't mind losing the life drain, you could detect an attack/damage by the locusts and deal more damage appropriately. If you do wish to count the life drain, enumerate all the locusts after the spell is cast and add damage to them via tomes or Claws of Attack (the ability).

(Did that make any sense?)

I wanted from beginn with no Life Drain, so it's no problem. But that is what i would like to know, how to set the Damage of the locusts o.o ? What Jass cmd/Trigger is it ?

Edit: Scrap that, I wasn't reading.

Yeah tomes is the way to go =p.

Add the Damage tomes (make sure to give them hero inventory)

hmm after you casted spell

wait 0.5 sec
loop
Group every unit of casting player
if they are locust and not in lolgroup
add AInv
add damagetomes
remove AInv
addto lolgroup
wait 1
exit after 5 times

But that wont be MUI :/

 

[busterkomo]

Yeah uh, thats what local vars are for(this is in the JASS section, after all).

You can't Enumerate the locusts. Just wanted to put that out there. (Units with locust can't be enumerated for some reason).

 

[wd40bomber7]

Check under the scripts section, someone made some functions to enumerate locusts there.

 

[darkwulfv]

Oh, well, under normal circumstances you cannot.

 

[Need_O2]

>.< Pick Every unit of PLAYER noob
that enums locusts too
-rep to me pls

 

[darkwulfv]

Units with locust have this weird thing where they can't be enumed, period. At least, last I checked.

 

[Need_O2]

GroupEnumUnitsInRect FAILS
GroupEnumUnitsOfPlayer Success

You should make your own locust ability and have the flies move to random spots around the caster. Oh yeah...that would work.

 

[Need_O2]

when they attack when they move
hmm structs timers
cool it can be done
