    • Unit - Create 1 PoisonNovaDummy for Player 1 (Red) at (Position of (Casting unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

    • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Create 1 PoisonNovaDummy for Player 1 (Red) at (Position of (Casting unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

    • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Create 1 PoisonNovaDummy for Player 1 (Red) at (Position of (Casting unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

    • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Create 1 PoisonNovaDummy for Player 1 (Red) at (Position of (Casting unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Pandaren Brewmaster - Breath Of Fire ((Position of (Casting unit)) offset by 50.00 towards 315.00 degrees)
    • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

So my problem is that poison bolt are launched as you can see in pic, to random destinations. I want the spell to launch them to every 45 degrees so it makes nova ring. Any idea what's the problem? I know i should use loop but i'm not sure how... And i know this is at wrong place.

For the loop --

• PoisonNova
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Poison Nova
  • Actions
    • Set loc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 PoisonNovaDummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at loc facing 0.00 degrees
        • Set loc2 = (loc offset by 50.00 towards ((Real((Integer A))) x 45.00) degrees)
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Pandaren Brewmaster - Breath Of Fire loc2
        • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_loc2 )
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_loc )

There's an unleakified version that should work (using a loop, too), assuming loc and loc2 are Point variables. It also fixes the Player issue you left, and the issue with Begins Casting an ability

The spell has loop now, thanks for it, but the original problem isn't fixed. Bolts are still launched to random directions.

Try increasing the distance; those spells can't fire if the target point is a cliff.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Give it a time delay betweene making the dummy and casting, the dummy still has not fully turned and it casts thus the cast is offset. Try pre rotating the unit, it may help.

Ya. Every once in a while, if you are near a cliff, one or two of the casts might glitch, but there's not much you can do about it. Besides... magic is tricky business...:emote_grin:

 

[Pitakebab]

Yes problem was short distance... Caster was too close of cliff. So thanks a lot!
