[Trigger] Spell help

[medion555]

Ive made an little custom spell for my map and got on an little problem (im not very good with triggering)
The problem is that the action i use damages allies

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (units within 300.0 of (position of (trigering unit))) and do (actions)
  • Loop - actions
    • Unit - cause trigering unit to damage (picked unit), dealing 250.0 damage of attack type chaos and damage type unversal

I just want it to not damage nearby allies

 

[Squiggy]

• Set temppoint = (Position of (Triggering Unit))
• Unit Group - Pick every Unit in (Units within 300.00 of temppoint matching (Matching Unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering Unit)) Equal to True and do:
  • Stuff
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint)

 

[medion555]

temppoint is what type ?
(temppoint ?)

 

[QirajiLord]

It's a point.

 

[medion555]

Thx it works
Il ad u both reputation

 

[QirajiLord]

You forgot to set temppoint. Try it, and if that doesn't work, I can try to do it later.

 

[medion555]

ye i forgot i putted it now anyway thx
anyway how do i loop an animation couse i want him to do attack anim
I want him to do that animation till i use the trigger to stop him
Animation - Play (Triggering unit)'s attack animation

 

[QirajiLord]

I think if you put:

• Animation - Play (Triggering unit)'s attack animation

right below where you deal damage (or above it, as long as it remains inside the loop), you should be good to go. Post back after you try it.

come on someone

 

[Starquizer]

Try changing [Triggerting Unit] by [Casting Unit]

• Loop - Actions
  • Animation - Play (Casting unit)'s attack animation

 

[Pharaoh_]

Animation - Play (Triggering unit)'s attack animation, using only Common animations
and get the action out of the Unit Group action!

 

[medion555]

Animation - Play (Triggering unit)'s attack animation, using only Common animations
and get the action out of the Unit Group action!

but how do i damage enemies then ?
otherwise it wont pick them right ?
and my unit keeps blinking to same point when i put my unit in right upoper corner it still goes into the same palce

 

[Starquizer]

When you get out the animation action; you get the animation one not the damaging action.

 

[Starquizer]

how do you mean show it to me in an trigger how it would be

• Hive 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set temppoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Make (Triggering unit) Invulnerable
    • Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
    • Wait 0.27 seconds
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at temppoint using Abilities\Spells\Human\FlameStrike\FlameStrikeTarget.mdl
    • Animation - Play (Triggering unit)'s attack animation
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 300.00 of temppoint matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • -------- Damage your enemy units as you did before --------
      • -------- Continue the rest of your action and see If you got any problem --------

But the animation dont need to be inside the loop Actions cause you will see only one animation

[medion555]

ok trigger 2 is another thing so thats not needed and il save the map ito normal world editor now

 

[Starquizer]

It still gives me the same msg, what is your latest patch ?

(My latest patch is 1.20)

---

Still in the trigger there is something that moves the caster to a fixed point like move unit instantly to LOCATION but I can't find that action.

 

[Starquizer]

Try changing the spell Blink that you used with another, I have changed it to Thunder Clap spell, also note that this spell contains waits which means that if another one cast it, it will not work for the first one how cast it. In more simpler word its not an MUI spell.

 

[medion555]

i now but how do i remove waits ? and my latest patch os 1.2> and some more couse i dont play warcraft on an disk wc3 is in my com not on an disc xD
and i used the blink for the tele and when blink is dont the caster damages at tempoint (point of hero)

 

[Azeroc]

I would suggest that someone could do JASS solution, its not MUI and will bug alot when someone will cast this spell too in same time...

Or just make normal variables for needed functions and then convert to custom text and then change Global (udg) variables to locals...

 

[medion555]

ok im bad with variables
just hand me all the variables wit type and shw them into the tirggetr how it should be

 

[Starquizer]

ok im bad with variables
just hand me all the variables wit type and shw them into the tirggetr how it should be

I think you may need a variable for the unit (caster) but I am not sure to make another one (temppoint); if you create a variable for the unit you could say position of <UNIT VARIABLE> also note that all those variables will be of array type so you could implement indexs in those variables.
