[Spell] silence after damage

[RaedoN]

Hello Hive! I'm working on a spell called Vivify. I thought would be pretty simple. The spell buffs the caster, and when the caster attacks any enemy unit, the attacked unit will be silenced. I used this damage detection system. But for some reason, it causes mass lag. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/gui-friendly-damage-detection-v1-2-1-a-149098/?prev=search%3Ddamage%2520detection%26d%3Dlist%26r%3D20

• Events
• Game - GDD_Event becomes Equal to 0.00
• Conditions
• (GDD_DamageSource has buff Vivify) Equal to True
• (GDD_DamagedUnit has buff Silence) Equal to False
• Actions
• Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of GDD_DamageSource) at (Position of GDD_DamagedUnit) facing Default building facing degrees
• Unit - Add Vivify Silence to (Last created unit)
• Unit - Set level of Vivify Silence for (Last created unit) to 1
• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Fire Lord - Soul Burn GDD_Damaged Unit
• Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

How do I fix this? (Remove lag) THANKS!

Well, first of all, your spell leaks a location because you do not destroy the location in which the dummy spawned. If I understood correctly, maybe the following trigger will work (haven't used WE for quite some time, so please do excuse me if some actions do not exist; I hope you'll understand what I'm trying to do).

• Events
  • Unit - A unit is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Attacking Unit) has (Vivify)
  • Actions
    • Set Loc = (Position of (Triggering Unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Attacking Unit)) at Loc facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add Vivify Silence to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Set level of Vivify Silence for (Last created unit) to 1
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Fire Lord - Soul Burn (Triggering Unit)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Loc)

I've tried using that code, but still causes a heavy lag.

 

[Kercyn]

Hmm, when does the lag occur? Maybe the real cause of the lag is somewhere else. Even with your code, you shouldn't experience "heavy lag" when casting a single spell with no special effects...

 

[RaedoN]

Umm, the lag occurs after the caster attacks a unit. So much lag that the screen freezes until the buff duration for the main spell is over.

u can show exactly the casting trigger nad attack trigger?

maybe u created too much dummy unit, the posted trigger must be ok so somehow have something problem

the posted trigger is the only trigger involving the spell. the main spell is simply a howl of terror that only affects self to give the buff.

you preloaded howl? else maybe during cast lagg game run more time the posted trigger

or maybe u can try order stop in start effect howl trigger, i just curios what happen if u try this 2 thing

If don't try to stack it with some orb effect you can use orb of lighting skill (new) with silence/soul burn. Just add it to buffed unit.

 

[Maker]

When the dummy casts Soul Burn, does that trigger the trigger? Use Game - display text message for debugging. You could try turning the trigger off/on before/after ordering the unit to Soul Burn.

 

[MajorKaza]

Oh. Or change trigger to:

• Add
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit uses ability
  • Conditions
    • Casted Spell equals Your_Spell
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add (Orb of Silence) to casting unit

• Remove
  • Events
    • Unit - Unit takes damage
  • Conditions
    • None
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove (Orb of Silence) from attacking unit

what is the the damage period in soul burn set to? if it is set to 0 it will cause the heavy lag which you are experiencing.after all 1/0 = infinity, try setting the damage period to something like 50, i have had the same problem with a couple of other DoT abilities.

 

[LeonHeartz]

try using this...
event - a unit is attacked
condition - (attacking unit) has buff "your buff"
action - create 1 "dummy" for "you" at (attacked unit) facing (attacked unit)
- add 1 second generic expiration to "dummy"
- order "dummy" to (soul burn) (attacked unit)

it's work for me
