Shockwave Question

[Saishy]

Level x - Data - Maximum Damage (Osh2)

I thought the problem was because I was ordering the same dummy caster to cast all directions, but even when I added 4 more dummy caster I was unable to shot all directions

Well, if your max damage is 300 and your spell deals 300 damage, it will either:
a) spread that 300 damage around all the targets it hits
b) deal 300 damage to the first target
Not sure which, sorry.

Basically it puts a cap on the maximum amount of damage it deals.

I think 'b' is the correct one, but I haven't tested it.

When you change the max to 600, it'll deal 300 damage to 2 targets (or spread it around all of em, again not sure).

If you change the max to 99999, unless the shockwave manages to deal 99999 damage across all of the targets then it will do full damage to everyone.

Hopefully that makes sense.

For the shockwave direction problem, my guess would be that the spots that say (casting unit) should say instead (triggering unit) since the unit is no longer casting once he/she/it has finished casting an ability.

I could be wrong, though.

EDIT: Woot! Vindication from Purplepoot! I'm not wrong after all!

EricDaRed is right - use A Unit Starts the Effect of an Ability.

In other news, why do you use Attacked Unit at one or two points?

Error xD

I will try the edits and edit that post.

The shockwave's Maximum Damage just means it will stop damaging enemies after that much total damage has been dealt, by the way.

Changed to:

• Actions
  • Animation - Play (Casting unit)'s attack animation
  • Set SpellPoint[0] = ((Position of (Casting unit)) offset by 100.00 towards ((Facing of (Casting unit)) + 180.00) degrees)
  • Set SpellPoint[1] = (Position of (Casting unit))
  • Set SpellPoint[2] = ((Position of (Casting unit)) offset by 100.00 towards ((Facing of (Casting unit)) + 30.00) degrees)
  • Set SpellPoint[3] = ((Position of (Casting unit)) offset by 100.00 towards ((Facing of (Casting unit)) - 30.00) degrees)
  • Set SpellPoint[4] = ((Position of (Casting unit)) offset by 100.00 towards ((Facing of (Casting unit)) + 60.00) degrees)
  • Set SpellPoint[5] = ((Position of (Casting unit)) offset by 100.00 towards ((Facing of (Casting unit)) - 60.00) degrees)

And works fine... but when the unit cast it looking down, dont work! I got same problem with sharingan, but was up, when the unit cast the skill looking up, it don't work. (in the sharingan trigger the dummy caster spawn in the front of casting unit, in this trigger the dummy spawn in the back)

Wtf this dummy caster have agains't opposite directions?


-------------
Seems that Maximum damage is equally divided between all units, because when I casted a 480 damage shockwave in many peons (220 hp) they didn't died, but got severely damaged. (In a few peons, they died)
