[Spell Request] Swiftness

[Nightbrowler]

Hi guys,
I'm working on a project and I need a simple spell to be done if possible, the spell is about invulnerability, the caster moves a lot of times to random region around the him in an AOE of 200 like this.

Set RandomPoint = ((Caster Position) with offset 200))
Move Caster to random region in RandomPoint

or something like this...

But it lasts 2 seconds so the caster should be invulnerable for 2 seconds and in this 2 seconds he teleports to alot of random points around him in an AOE of 200. This should be MUI GUI please +rep + credits.

EDIT:Add the Mirrorthing SFX everytime the caster teleports/moves.

Made it for you

Test map attached
MUI

EDIT:
@Marc
Yours not MUI plus it's bad trigger for using Waits action

it wont work if there's no waits..

Here's my version, propably forgot something since I made it so quickly. The effect could be created at point, not on the unit.

Have you checked my test map ?

Hehe, sorry im noob at triggers

 

[defskull]

Naah, you're not noob
Every person should learn from experience

 

[Nightbrowler]

Hey wow so many replies thanks i will take a look at them now =)

EDIT:Well i like defskulls version more but there is a mistake.. if you observe you can see that the demon hunter doesn't teleport around his position but the postion around the other demon hunter so would be cool if you could fix it ... +rep anyways to Maker and of course Defskull!

EDIT2:I mean he teleports to the center of the map ..

In "Swift Checking" trigger, move the:

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_InitialLoc)

To the most below part in "Else - Actions" and it's gonna look like this:

• Else - Actions
  • Unit - Remove Invulnerable (Neutral) from (Picked unit)
  • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child (Key (Picked unit)) in SwiftTable
  • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from SwiftGroup
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_InitialLoc)

 

[Maker]

Def, you should load the InitialLoc before the If condition, because you need it in both THEN and ELSE branches.

It's also a good idea to teleport the unit back to the initial loc when the spell ends, since the offset position might not be pathable, the unit could get stuck.

 

[defskull]

What's the difference if I don't load it, and load it ?
The location won't leak, right ?
Because InitialLoc is just one place (keep using it over and over again) and will be cleaned only one ?

 

[Maker]

If it's like this, it won't get removed.

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in SwiftGroup and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set Duration = (Load (Key Duration) of (Key (Picked unit)) from SwiftTable)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Duration Greater than 0.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Set InitialLoc = (Load (Key INIT) of (Key (Picked unit)) in SwiftTable)
      • Else - Actions
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_InitialLoc)

This is how it should be

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in SwiftGroup and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set Duration = (Load (Key Duration) of (Key (Picked unit)) from SwiftTable)
    • Set InitialLoc = (Load (Key INIT) of (Key (Picked unit)) in SwiftTable)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Duration Greater than 0.00
      • Then - Actions
      • Else - Actions
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_InitialLoc)

Whoahhh, thanks
(Must spread-issue...)

 

[Nightbrowler]

thanks!!

EDIT:I dunno why but when i try it in your map it works then when i import it in my map it teleports to the center of the map...

 

[Nightbrowler]

*bump

 

[Maker]

Have you iniialized the hashtable? Post the map if that's not the issue.

The thing is it only doesn't work when i add it to my project but when i add it to some other map it works..

 

[Maker]

Then you should post the map.

 

[Nightbrowler]

Then you should post the map.

I can't post my whole project..

 

[Maker]

Use pastebin and PM it to me.

Locations default to center of the map, so either you have not initialized the hashtable or there's something else that makes the triggers return null for the loc.

EDIT: There's this line in Defskull's trigger:

• Hashtable - Save Handle OfInitialLoc as (Key INIT) of (Key (Triggering unit)) in (Last created hashtable)

The last created hashtable might not be the one used by this ability. Change it to the correct hashtable. And tell defskull he should always double check his triggers.

I'm here, yes ?

Maybe some other trigger uses initialloc too as integer ... maybe if i change the names it will work i will try this

 

[Nightbrowler]

Here are the triggers can you see if something doesn't work?!..

Btw... the Hashtables are created in another trigger...

 

[Maker]

You have <last created hashtable> in there. It could refer to a wrong hashtable.

Number of units in group condition leaks.

Ah thanks it works now =)
