Several Questions regarding Trigger Editor

[SnowYell]

Hi!
I got some questions I have scratched up over time. I hope you can answer some of them. thank you for your time and attention!!

1: In my RPG map, variabled units respawns at their region location when killed.
A Hero has charm. If it is cast on a unit, how do I make sure it spawns again, without having to kill my variabled new charmed minion?
I just don't want to make the triggering too long for it to work.

2: And do you have any easier suggestion on how to establish respawn systems, than creating a variable for every single unit and a region for their spawn location?

3: How do I make infernal ability not remove trees?
I have edited the targets allowed, but it still destroys them.
I would almost go and make a trigger to create a tree when one dies, but it seems pretty unproffesional..

4: I don't seem to be able to load .blp files from Custom Models into Editor. MDX is not a problem. I have even tried some guides and nothing works.
What do I need to do?

5: I am creating a permanent corpse with this trigger:

• Dead Troll
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create a permanent Fleshy Skullsplitter Barbarian (Corpse Unit) corpse for Neutral Passive at (Center of Troll Corpse <gen>) facing 150.00 degrees

But the corpse slowly decays away leaving only fleshy skeletal left. Can you prevent that, without entering constants and making it a global fix?
See I want the whole troll to be laying there. Not just the skeletom.


6: A bit more advanced question: How do you make a skill shot trigger damage with intelligence?
Like if you create a group within x yards from point at caster, when casting Thunder Clap, you deal damage to variabled units, how do you do that with a skill shot?
By Skill shot I mean, like Shockwave. And what abilities would you recommend using?

7: The Big Bad Voodoo spell. When I recreate the buffs of the caster, it won't change the buff effect. He still has the same buff, no matter what target effect i give him. If I give him drain life buff, he will just have both buffs.

1. Since you said "A Hero has a charm", you can probably trigger that charm to treat that creep as dead (easy enough if your respawn system uses a boolean).

2. Wild idea is that if you pre-place all your creeps, then at the start of the game you can find their location and unit-types by doing "pick every unit in playable map area owned by player-creep". This is a bit restrictive though.

3. Make your trees indestructible, or use Channel.

4. I know nothing

5. You can use a Dummy Unit and have them play their death animation. The corpse will not decay.

6. You will need a damage detection system for that (which is by far the easiest), though you can do it through very complicated and convoluted triggers.

1: I didnt really get that.. Can you show a trigger maybe?

2: Hmm, seems a bit leaky.

5: How?

6: I guess it is a bit too difficult for me. :/

You may wanna check this: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...ui-218179/?prev=u=defskull&r=20&d=list&page=2
Then tell me how you would want to modify it to suit your case.

A lot of the stuff happening in the triggering seems rather difficult to me. I wouldn't even know where to find the script icon/action. I don't have a clue about that level of triggering.
Just learned how to use variables in a moderate way. Still not able to do MUI tho.

That's why I want you to tell me how does that system I linked, suits to your situation that you want.

Is that what you're looking for or something similar to it ?
Or is it on different level of mechanics and requirements ?

Well, I wouldn't have a problem with using variables. It just might be a lot if I have to use a variable AND a region for every damn unit. It will take a long time. And it will definetly use a lot of space in the variable list for browsing..

I have a trigger all you would need to add is a variable and a line to map initialization however its complete jass and would not make sense to you

Charm and posession are tricky to balance. I recommend using more creative spells.

For the Inferno, consider Pocket Factory as the base spell, instead

If you pause the corpse, it cannot decay.

Are you using a custom big bad voodoo or the original one? With some abilities you have to modify the effect of the original ability for it to work.
