Spell Request

[Ironside]

Hello, I would like to request a spell, or at least a way how to make it, because I'm not sure how to make it:

Name: Sphere of Death
Levels: You can make only 1, It's enough, I can easily make all 3 myself then
Type: Target Ground

What it does:

Creates a Giant Magic Sphere (Don't have a model for it, but I can find one, if you have one, even better). No unit can enter or exit this sphere, so if you try going in/out you just can't, maybe order him to stop or something. The spell lasts for X seconds. Works for all units (air, ground, buildings, ...)

That's not hard: a special effect, and some movement blocking dodoads

EDIT:The trigger is not so complex:

• Blocking Sphere
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Blocking Sphere
  • Actions
    • Set CasterPos = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 36, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for Neutral Passive at (CasterPos offset by 300.00 towards ((Real((Integer A))) x 10.00) degrees) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Set Dummyes[(Integer A)] = (Last created unit)

It's hard to tell how to make the unit, just make sure it's a building and it's pathing map is "Building"

You can't order a building to move, it's gonna crash the game (most likely). I made the spell, try to cast it at the position of your hero, to check how it works. View attachment Sphere of Death.w3x

Eh yeah... Just make sure they can't build inside the sphere from outside xD

EDIT: Pharaoh, you misunderstand what he wants: he wants the sphere to entrap units inside it not dop enemy units out of it...

 

[HeX.16]

Maybe this?

 

[Kanadaj]

Lol this one does the same... He needs something that makes a "wall" around the caster, so "not going in nor out"

Right.. So, here it is: View attachment Sphere of Death[2].w3x

Thank you all

I think you can get away with this in the first trigger:

Trigger

• One
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Sphere of Death
  • Actions
    • Set Points[1] = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Points[1] facing Default building facing degrees
    • Animation - Change (Last created unit)'s size to (1500.00%, 1500.00%, 1500.00%) of its original size
    • Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to UnitGroup
    • Unit - Add a 10.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Set Group1 = (Units within 300.00 of Points[1] matching ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True))))
    • Hashtable - Save Handle OfGroup1 as (Key unitgroup) of (Key (Last created unit)) in Hashtable
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Points[1])
    • Trigger - Turn on Two <gen>

And you need to destroy the group you save:

Trigger

• Three
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is in UnitGroup) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from UnitGroup
    • Set Group1 = (Load (Key unitgroup) of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Hashtable)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Group1)
    • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child (Key (Triggering unit)) in Hashtable
