Small Trigger Question

[CloudWolf]

For a request on my diablo 3 map, I'm adding blood every time a unit is hit.

Basically, I was wondering if this trigger will cause any leaks, as theres going to be a lot fo special effect in use here

What I have done:

• Events
• Unit - A unit is attacked
• Actions
• Special Effect - Create blood effect on triggering unit
• Wait 0.5 seconds
• Special Effect - Destroy (last created special effect)

Basically, i was wondering, if the trigger keeps being used more than every 0.5 seconds, will it restart itself without finishing the "destroy special effect"?

Thanks!

What about giving your hero a hidden ability like orb of lightning? and you simlply make an effect there =)

and the bast about this is, no triggering

:O You my friend are a genius lol

Only questions i have about that are:

can you make specific unit types exempt from the effect?

and how do you set an ability to be hidden? lol


Thanks for the reply!

Well its an item ability and it doesn't have an icon. So i think

Edit:
And what do you mean by this:
"can you make specific unit types exempt from the effect?"

I think he means if he can make certain units NOT show blood. I don't think this is possible, though maybe for units with special classification, like Undead, by changing the orb ability's targets.

Diablo 3 isn't out and you're already making a D3 map?

Exploits a local global bug so you can use waits in triggers

• Events
  • Unit - A unit is attacked
  • Actions
  • Special Effect - Create blood effect on triggering unit
  • Wait 0.5 seconds
  • Special Effect - Destroy (last created special effect)

Change to

• Events
  • Unit - A unit is attacked
  • Actions
  • local effect udg_bloodeffectvar = "string//filename"
  • Special Effect - Create bloodeffectvar on triggering unit
  • Wait 0.5 seconds
  • Special Effect - Destroy (bloodeffectvar)

This will make your trigger use locals and therefore Mui which means you won't even have to worry about waits screwing it up.

Triggers will always perfer locals over globals.

Don't forget, this will work only for ONE variable!

You might want a JASS function to add a temporary special effect, using timers and handle local variables. You may find it here or at the Jass Vault...

Wouldn't it be simplier just to add blood as melee unit's missile?

 

[CloudWolf]

Ive got it fixed Ive given all the melee heroes a hidden "orb" style effect So it causes blood on the enemies they hit

ty for all the help!
