Special effect on map

[angelwarrior]

Hi,

I have one question for you my GODLIKE modders.
I want to do rain of infernal meteors as special effect after one special unit is destroyed.
I have prepared EVENT - Specific Unit Dies....and now i want to set special effects "Infernal Meteor" to rain over the map for 10 seconds....
Is this possible?
I can only create one meteor in region (whole map or more smallers region)...but i want to see this meteors falls more than once.

Please someone can help?

I think he may be referring to rain of chaos. If so, the inferno special effects needs to strike at random areas in the region, not at a set location. So he would need to set the variable before each special effect is called.

And I think that meteor should deal damage, TwoVenomous.
You should trigger this.

Glad it doesn't need to be MUI though.

Why should you random offset it when you can have this;

• Set TempLoc = (Random point in (Playable map area))

This, for sure, does not leave the map bound.

Trigger for you

Here is my triggering for it. It involves 2 triggers, is much more condensed then long code, and uses 2 variables;

- Counter(Integer Variable)
- TrapLoc(Point Variable) Which is to set random effect spawns



This trigger is to activate the other meteor trigger, which is set to INITIALLY OFF

Initiliaze

• Death
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Paladin
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn on Meteor <gen>

This is the trigger that creates the effects

Meteor

• Meteor
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Counter Less than 10
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Counter = (Counter + 1)
        • Set TrapLoc = (Random point in YourRegion <gen>)
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect at TrapLoc using Units\Demon\Infernal\InfernalBirth.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TrapLoc)
      • Else - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Remember:
In the trigger editor turn the Meteor Trigger Initially Off, so right click it and untick it.

Also the Counter Variable must be set to 1, otherwise it will make 11 effects

The current trigger you posted (Default Counter == 0) is the right one dude.
Because you use less than, not less than or equal to.
