[Trigger] Spell problem

Marsal · May 26, 2011

Aw, since I've changed the base spell type to a channeling one everything is messed up... I've made very n00b and obvious mistakes because I'm too tired, but I fixed every of these(I think). But there is still something I can't find. Could someone help me a little?

Well it's MUI but sometimes when got cast more than one at a moment, some effects won't move, but the first unit group will be damaged.

Cokemonkey11 · May 26, 2011

But there is still something I can't find

What exactly is wrong?

Marsal · May 27, 2011

The last line... Under the attachment...

Pharaoh_ · May 27, 2011

You are using an array'd Group variable, SBDummyGroup. Unit Group variables with array need to be created, before used.

Before you add the missiles in the unit group, use (notice the first line):

Custom script: set udg_SBDummyGroup[udg_SBIndex] = CreateGroup()
Unit - Create 1 Missile Body 1 for (Triggering player) at SBCasterPoint[SBIndex] facing SBAngle[SBIndex] degrees
Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to SBDummyGroup[SBIndex]

You don't actually need one instance of a unit group for each cast, but I guess you want this for the damage part, though I don't see you checking if ((Picked unit) is in SBDummyGroup[SBInteger] Equal to False), to prevent nearby units from being damaged again.

Don't forget to destroy the group, when the unit stops/finishes the channeling.

Marsal · May 28, 2011

I know but since the group's array size is increased I don't have to. Also I just only have to clear the groups since I recycle it. I used this before but the problem was still there. Now I try it in a different way.The damage depends on the location where the missiles should be.

Well that's kinda weird. I just moved the group creation trigger to an other position and now everything is okay

Thanks for the tip Pharaoh
