[Trigger] Simple spell request

[Kam]

I need a simple aura spell that regrows dead trees, in GUI.

 

[Big Dub]

Well in that case I would probably make a trigger like this:

Tree hugger spell

• TreeHugger
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.20 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Keep all the units with the ability in some sort of group to make this trigger less taxing on computers. --------
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (UNITS WITH THE ABILITY) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • -------- Change the 500 to the area of your aura, if you have different ranges depending on level this trigger is going to get a little more complicated, but still doable --------
        • Destructible - Pick every destructible within 500.00 of (Position of (Picked unit)) and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Destructible-type of (Picked destructible)) Equal to Summer Tree Wall
                • -------- This is the Summer Tree Wall (dead), or whatever type of tree is in your map --------
              • Then - Actions
                • Destructible - Resurrect (Picked destructible) with (Max life of (Last created destructible)) life and Show birth animation
              • Else - Actions

Oh and by the way, I am making a Tides of Darkness map to

Create 1 global unit named 'TreeDummy'.
Put this in your map header:

private function TreeFilter takes destructable d returns boolean
    local boolean i = IsDestructableInvulnerable(d)
    local boolean result = false
    call SetUnitPosition(udg_TreeDummy, GetWidgetX(d), GetWidgetY(d))
    if i then
        call SetDestructableInvulnerable(d, false)
    endif
    set result = IssueTargetOrder(udg_TreeDummy, "harvest", d)
    if i then
      call SetDestructableInvulnerable(d, true)
    endif
    call IssueImmediateOrder(udg_TreeDummy, "stop")
    set d = null
    return result
endfunction

And use almost the same function as above:

• TreeHugger
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.20 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Keep all the units with the ability in some sort of group to make this trigger less taxing on computers. --------
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (UNITS WITH THE ABILITY) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • -------- Change the 500 to the area of your aura, if you have different ranges depending on level this trigger is going to get a little more complicated, but still doable --------
        • Destructible - Pick every destructible within 500.00 of (Position of (Picked unit)) and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Custom script: if TreeFilter(GetEnumDestructable()) then
            • Destructible - Resurrect (Picked destructible) with (Max life of (Last created destructible)) life and Show birth animation
            • Custom script: endif

That Jass part checks if it is a tree, if not it can also be a crate, or something else. This will filter out trees, so only Trees get revived.

 

[Kam]

If you're curious this is what I ended up using, no custom script required.

TreeHugger
    Events
        Time - Every 0.20 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Spell Breaker) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Destructible - Pick every destructible within 500.00 of (Position of (Picked unit)) and do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        If ((Destructible-type of (Picked destructible)) Equal to Ashenvale Tree Wall) then do (Destructible - Resurrect (Picked destructible) with (Max life of (Picked destructible)) life and Show birth animation) else do (Do nothing)

 

[Yixx]

Could be a solution, but that only checks for Ashenvale trees. What if you want Canopy trees? Or summer trees? Or whatever trees?

 

[Kam]

Instead of Do Nothing attach an Else/If staement and you can do the endlessly.

 

[Big Dub]

Woo!

But if I were you I would never use the single condition if/then/else.
It is very hard to edit.
