[Trigger] Show Area

[sentrywiz]

I have a point and lets say an area around that point of 250 units of range. I like to show an effect like Orb of Fire at every 45 degrees around that point in the range.

How would I do that? An example of what I like:

something like this.

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set loc = (Center of (Playable map area))
    • Set degree = 0
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set degree = (degree + 45.00)
        • Set loc2 = (loc offset by 250.00 towards degree degrees)
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect at loc2 using Abilities\Spells\Human\ThunderClap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_loc2)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_loc)

Nice. Exactly what I need. I always wanted to know
how to make nova spells and this will help me
in the long run. +rep

I always thought it was something like this. Thank you for the triggers.

Orbiting is different from polars... well he said that he like to show an effect like Orb of Fire and that means the fire is orbiting on a weapon..
