Shockwave trigger not working (Line damage spell)

[tml616]

I'm making a triggered spell that does exactly what the Shockwave spell does: damages enemies in a line. But I ran into a problem.

Here's how my spell works: the missle is created and moves forward, every 0.03 seconds checking a 200 radius for targets. It damages all the targets and is supposed to add them to a unit group, so they won't be damaged again. But this part doesn't work, and the spell instantly kills anything it touches.

I'm really stumped here, because I checked my trigger like a dozen times and it still does everything else properly. Trigger 2 below has the damage check that is messing up.

Well from what i see, the problem is either: 1) the damage type is death 2) Even though you remove the hit unit from the group in the next 0.03 secs it will re-add the unit and hit it again.

 

[tml616]

I don't remove it from the group that checks if it's been hit.

Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to (Load (Key hit) of temp_integer[0] in H_InfernalWave)

is never removed

Why use temp hashtable and then null it?

Create floating text showing the damage above damaged unit, that way you can at least check the amount of damage, and if the unit is damaged mroe than once.

The temp hashtable is so I can make similar spells for other units without having to go through every line just to change the hashtable vasriable.

Floating text won't do anything since I know the unit is damaged multiple times. The spell does 65 at level 1 and it instantly kills anything it touches right now.

Im not somekind "pro" with world edditor but i think i have an idea. try putting units which allready been hit by weave to another unit group and then make if then else and check if other units (that wasnt allready hit by weave) is not in that group.

 

[tml616]

That's what I'm already trying to do but it messes up.

I am trying to put damaged units in a unit group that is stored in the hashtable of each wave, so its MUI. But that doesn't work and the only way it works is if I use a global unit group, making it not MUI.

So if I can't localize the group for each wave then I just can't do the spell.
