Some trigger Questions

1) If I want create units in a circle around one (casting) Unit (0,45,90,135,180,225,270,315), normaly I would create 8 actions-triggers wich create the units - how can I create them with 1 or 2 or 3 actions-triggers?

2) Bonus damage. My Fire Mage got 2 abilities. One passive (if he cast a spell - extra damage to target (via trigger)) Now if he cast the other spell (firebolt) the first trigger deals the bonus damage but befor the firebolt reach the target. How can I create the trigger, that the target gets the bonus damage, if the firebolt hits the target.

3) My totem of Wrath. This ability creates on totem (Set Variable - Set Totem = last created Unit). This totem stands for 10 seconds. Each seconds it should do an actions. How can I create a trigger so, that if another player cast the same ability, the first totem doesn't interupt his orders?

  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Animate Dead
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint[0] = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • For each (Integer A) from 0 to 7, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set TempPoint[(Integer A)] = (TempPoint[0] offset by 50.00 towards (45.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) degrees)
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at TempPoint[(Integer A)] facing TempPoint[0]
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint[GetForLoopIndexA()])
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint[0])

for your first question.

For the totem, if each player can only have one totem each you could use a unit array.
When a player summons their totem, you would do something like this:

local unit u
local integer i = GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetCastingUnit))
set u = CreateUnit(GetTriggerPlayer() etc.)
set WrathTotem[i] = u

And then when you want a specific player's totem to do something, you just order, say, WrathTotem[3] (purple) to cast/attack/etc.

for your second question... I think thats possible if you make a custom projectile system though I dont know how to do it... or to be simpler you could just make the spell instant hit....

Ok for now thanks all 3 - but the problem with the totem:

1) If I do it like you said - how will the actions continue? (Totem should do xx and xx)

2) If other player cast the totem while the other actions are running, wouldn't this the same problem?
