Can you tell me where does spell leaks ? (doesen't work ingame)

Thanks + rep who helps

 

[Maker]

Add this

• Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_LA_Targets)

after this:

• Set LA_Target = (Random unit from LA_Targets)

It doesn't work because Event Reponse - Casting unit needs an event like:

• Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
• Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

 

[biHmapmaker]

I added Unit - A unit Starts to effect of an ability (with event every 6 seconds - don't know another way) but still it doesen't work ...
Can you maybe just say where should I put even response ? In Ligthing Aura2 trigger or another one ?

Create a unit group variable called Lightning_Aura_Group.

    • Set LA_Targets = (Units owned by Player 12 (Brown))
    • Set LA_Target = (Random unit from LA_Targets)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Level of Lighting Aura for LA_Caster) Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Cause LA_Caster to damage LA_Target, dealing 20.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

Trigger 3 :

• Lighting Aura3
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Lighting Aura
  • Actions
    • If triggering unit is not in Lightning_Aura_Group then add triggerin unit to Lightning_Aura_Group
    • Trigger - Turn on Lighting Aura2 <gen>

However this will only work properly for one unit since you use waits.

 

[biHmapmaker]

Still doesen't work
Any other ideas ? Like remaking spell or something ... ?

 

[Maker]

Post the spell in a map.

Here

 

[Maker]

This will only support one unit at a time.

An easy way to make it support several units is to remove the wait, but then you need to use different effect. Lightning bolt vanishes instantly when it is destroyed. Some other effects play their death animation when destroyed.

If you want to use that effect, then look for indexing or hashtable tutorial if you want to make it work for more than one unit at the same time.

 

[SanKakU]

you should use the unit aura control system by romek. it will make up a lightning aura easy.

 

[mckill2009]

why dont you use a formula to shorten the trigger?

something like this...

• If - Conditions
• (Level of Lighting Aura for LA_Caster) Greter than 0
• Then - Actions
• Set - Formula=(Level of Lighting Aura for LA_Caster) * 20)
• Unit - Cause LA_Caster to damage LA_Target, dealing Formula damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
• Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of LA_Target using Doodads\Cinematic\Lightningbolt\Lightningbolt.mdl
• Wait 0.20 seconds
• Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
