Special effect for every killed allied units?

[Steel0RaZoR]

hey guys, can someone show me an efficient trigger where when a unit is killed by an allied unit, a special effect(exclamation mark) is shown on his/her head for a second just like in dota(when denying creeps)?

Use a boolean condition to check if the killing unit is an ally or not.

Something like this

• Deny
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Killing unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads ! above (Triggering unit) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees
    • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
    • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.50 seconds
    • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds

If you want to make it colored according to the team color of the killing unit, I guess you'll have to use a lot of ITEs..

Oh yea, forgot about that. Spartipolio's suggested solution below for TC floating text would be easier.

Not really IT's for colors. You hold an array with player colors, and use the player number as the array index for it's color.

btw, it's a floating text, not an special effect.

Also if u use anything twice or more store it in a variable. Ur trigger is inefficient because u don't do this.

Well, frist of all we make a player group using a variable. Let's call this variable "Player1_Ally" (Player-Group variable)
Then we use a trigger that store every player that belong to ally of player 1 to the created variable "Player1_Ally"
And then here is the main trigger in GUI:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in Player1_Ally and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Owner of (Killing unit)) Equal to (Owner of (Dying unit))) or ((Owner of (Killing unit)) Equal to (Picked player))
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Effect_Point = (Position of (Dying unit))
            • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Effect_Point using Abilities\Spells\Human\Thunderclap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl
            • Set Dying_Effect = (Last created special effect)
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Effect_Point)
            • Special Effect - Destroy Dying_Effect
          • Else - Actions
            • Do nothing

It's pretty simple, when an unit killed by allied unit the thunder clap effect will appear as sign of ally-killing

Get rid of dying unit use triggering unit instead. Remove the do nothing action they are useless and make things slower. Anything u use twice or more store into a variable and use the variable. Ex: owner of killing unit and owner of dying unit. Don't store last created effect into a variable just destroy it after it's created

Oh ok.
Should I store the last created floating text?

 

[deathismyfriend]

Yes u should store anything used twice or more into a variable.
