[Trigger] Spell : Move dummy with after effect

M_Vegeta · Jan 12, 2010

Move dummy + after effect-Hashtable

here i tryed to make a spell that mode a dummy unit(invinsible) to the point target of the spell . When the point is reach, 1 integer start and a unit should be created, than the integer become to 0 this unit die and 2 dummy unit(explosion) appear with a second integer that become to 0 to end the spell!!

my problem : there is 3 created unit : The first and the third doesn't appear at all! i tryed with few different point for the dummy nothing changed

here is the code :i also added the map for the need .

edit : My old code is in the map, i added new code which is a bit cleaner but now only the dummy move the after effect doesnt work at all : its probably a condition problem but i cannot find it right, any suggestion ?

You do this:

Hashtable - Save Handle OfDummyMovePoint[2] as (Key loc1) of (Key (Target point of ability being cast)) in DummyDirtMove

and then in the same trigger:

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_DummyMovePoint[2])

and the location is gone and can't be used anymore. Don't remove it until you don't need it anymore.

Why are you using the target point of... there? Shouldn't it be <last created unit>?

Picked unit in the "starts the effect" trigger? There's no picked unit.

-for the location i should remove it when the spell is end right ? mean i dont need it anymore!

-i use target point of ability becuz the dummy finish to move where the point is : i use the point to calculate the max distance between start & finish point.
if i use last created unit its wont probably fit becuz the unit have to move to this point no ?

-should i replace target of ... by last created unit ?

there the first reason why i do hate using hashtable function, in Dynamic indexing i wouldnt have this problem probably >.>. i have read the hashtable tutorial so much time : its didnt helped me much, i still have same problem as alway for the saving handle : to put the right thing

You save the information for the target point of ability being cast. What's the point in that? You're trying to load the information for the unit, using the unit as the ID, but you have saved it using the point as the key. It won't work.

Hahtables work like this basically:

Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Last created special effect) as (Key effect_1) of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Build_Hash

Save *what do I want to save* as *the identifier I want to store/load stuff with* of *for who I want to save all this information for*

You add the last created unit to the unit group, and load info from the picked unit. So save all info for <last created unit> in the first trigger.

You trigger is a bit of a mess. I'd rather recreate it than try to fix it for you.

yes my trigger is alot messy ,i work so much on it xD : if you wanna recreate it got for it >.>hope the result will be same

edit : i was talking with my friend and he told me key handle work with the handle reference mesn in that case last created unit , Should i create new hashtable for other unit and make them work with other hashtable in the current trigger ? it would fix my problem ?
