[Trigger] Spell Problem

[X3n0nX]

Hi, I tried making my second spell, I'm going to describe what is the spell.

Okay, the spell is based on the Storm Bolt ability. When you cast the spell on the enemy, it is supposed to do a Breath of Fire Nova around the Targeted unit. Thats my problem, there are no nova when I cast it on the enemy.

• Flame Granade Start
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Flame Granade
  • Actions
    • Set Caster = (Triggering unit)
    • Set Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set TargetLoc = (Position of Target)
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Dummy (Flame Granade) for (Owner of Caster) at TargetLoc facing Default building facing degrees
        • Set DummyUnit = (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Add Flame Granade (Dummy Spell) to DummyUnit
        • Unit - Set level of Flame Granade (Dummy Spell) for DummyUnit to (Level of Flame Granade for Caster)
        • Unit - Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to DummyUnit
        • Set PolarPoint = (TargetLoc offset by 200.00 towards (45.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) degrees)
        • Unit - Order DummyUnit to Neutral Pandaren Brewmaster - Breath Of Fire PolarPoint
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_PolarPoint)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TargetLoc)

I think my problem is in the Trigger or the Object editor. I also attached the map with the ability, you can check it out.

Okay, I found how, the dummy unit cant cast the spell because of not enough mana. But the nova is too early before the storm bolt.

After the storm bolt hits the target, a Fire Nova happens around the targeted unit. But the Nova is way to early, someone teach me how?

well i think you have to trigger the bolt since the "effect" event starts when the bolt is created and not when it hits

Use a timer NOT WAIT!

Show me please, I'm not that good in triggering.

Go to your Flame Grenade spell, scroll to Art - Missile Speed and set it to a higher value. This will increase the speed of the projectile and it will make it feel more simultaneous.

Yes, I know that. 1500 is alright, but I am wondering if I can do it.[/color]

You would need a timer (for best results > Jass). The easiest and most equivalent in GUI (not suggested, but anyway):

• Set UnitU = (Target unit of ability being cast)
• Wait until ((UnitU has buff Stunned (Pause)) Equal to True), checking every 0.20 seconds

The condition is a boolean comparison.
