Spawning Units in a circle

[Sabelion]

Hey I am using GUI and I wonder how I spawn units in a circle around my caster when I cast a spell. Like summoning smoke in a wide circle around my caster and then making them a unit group so it like damages all units that stand close to it.

I did find a guide http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/f279/chapter-1-static-shapes-gui-7337/ but I doesnt understand alot of that. So if somebody just coud tell me how to figure out the points and stuffs like that or just give me a the code for a circle plz.

remember I use GUI.

Well try For loop integer A and spwan unit like offset of the hero by 300 and angle 60 x For loop integer A .... Remember to remove leaks

You need a loop, and a formula, but formula depends on the number of units spawned, so make points at 360 / <number of units> x loop index.

This is what I did

• Fire Wall
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Fire Wall
  • Actions
    • Set FireWallCaster = (Casting unit)
    • Set FireWallMiddle = (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Fire Wall (Dummy) for Player 1 (Red) at (FireWallMiddle offset by 400.00 towards ((Real((Integer A))) x (360.00 / 36.00)) degrees) facing (Random angle) degrees
    • Unit - Create 1 Fire Wall (Dummy) for Player 1 (Red) at (FireWallMiddle offset by 400.00 towards ((Real((Integer A))) x (360.00 / 36.00)) degrees) facing (Random angle) degrees
    • Set FireWallDummy = (Last created unit)
    • Trigger - Turn on Fire Wall Damage <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn on Fire Wall Cancel <gen>
    • Wait 6.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off Fire Wall Damage <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn off Fire Wall Cancel <gen>
    • Unit - Remove FireWallDummy from the game

This doesnt work, can somebody tell me what the problem is?

Yes I know that it has some leaks but It aint done yet. I will fix other stuffs once I get a circle

Something like that

Now just put everything in a loop like this:

• spawn
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 36, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • <your actions here>

Oh and create only one dummy in the loop not two, because loop will make 36 dummies, so if you leave 2 dummies it will create 72 dummies.

• Trigger
• Events
• Conditions
• Actions
  • For each Integer A from 1 to 12
    • Loop - Actions
      • Create 1 <Unit> at position of (Point offset by 500 towards (Real) degrees)
      • Set Real: Real + 30

Okey thanks guys any simple way of removing the spawned units?

 

[Maximilianx]

Add timed life?

 

[Sabelion]

Worked thanks, and do somebody know how to ehh do so that all units in 150 range of the spawned units will take like 20 damage per second? I tried but as most of the times I tries, it didnt work out very well...

• Fire Wall Damage
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 150.00 of (Position of (Matching unit)) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Fire Wall (Dummy))) and do (If (((Picked unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Matching unit))) Equal to True) then do (Unit - Cause (Matching unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 20.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal) else do (Do nothing))

Create a dummy with Immolation on it and the immolation deals 20 damage/second
