Spell that makes Enemy Flee

[Huntsman]

Alright so hey guys, i need help making a spell which makes targeted units Flee (Howl of Terror) Or AoE, in GUI. Ive been trying for some while but i cant get it to work, +rep if helped and gday

 

[Huntsman]

hmm to be clearer i mean an GUI Trigger wich makes Enemy run in random direction after the Spell is cast, With an |ncreased movement speed

Use the edit button.
And you only use "an" when the following word starts with a vowel.

Maybe, to make them go faster, you could do:

• Howl of Terror
  • Events
    • A unit finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • If ability being cast equal to (Howl of Terror)
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.1
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (playable map area matching (matching unit has (howl of terror buff)) and do
      • Loop
        • Unit - Set (picked unit) movement speed to (picked unit movement speed + (whatever)
        • Wait (however long you want it to last for)
        • Unit - Set (picked unit) movement speed to (picked unit movement speed - (whatever)

thanks for notice i diddnt saw it, but anyway id appreciete if u would post something to help me instead flame me

 

[manstie]

I just did (and I used the Edit button!!!@!#!@!@!!!! )

 

[Huntsman]

looks good, but how do u make them run around for 3 seconds?

 

[M4stah]

mantsie, please do not post triggers which leak, cause problems and do not do what Huntsman want. Huntsman, you could try looking in the spell section or wait for a working trigger.

 

[manstie]

Well why don't you make one that doesn't leak, Mr. Smarty Pants!

 

[Huntsman]

Yea! xD i just want some1 to help me ; /

Howl of Terror
Events
A unit begins effect of ability
Conditions
Ability being cast equal to (Howl of Terror)
Actions
set Cast_point= position of (casting unit)
set Unit_Group= units within X of Cast_point
Pick every unit in Unit_Group and do Actions
set run_point= Cast_point with (random number between 100 and XXX) and (random number between 0 and 359) degrees
Unit - Issue picked unit to move run_point
call RemoveLocation (udg_run_point)
call RemoveLocation (udg_Cast_point)
call DestroyGroup (udg_Unit_Group)

This is the most simple. ( I didn`t work on WE so sorry for mistakes (I was making it how I remember triggers))

 

[manstie]

Above sounds reasonable.

 

[Huntsman]

when i got the SET: Set Run_point = Cast_point , i cant add (random number etc)

 

[M4stah]

Howl of Terror

Pick every unit in Unit_Group and do Actions
set run_point= Cast_point with (random number between 100 and XXX) and (random number between 0 and 359) degrees

You must the function point with polar(Or whatever, the one that uses degrees) offset, and the random number is found at the math functions for reals and integers.

 

[Huntsman]

the trigger is wrong, when i press test map and it finished loading i go to main menu, and when i delete the trigger it can test again some1 got a working 1?

 

[Smiddle]

Can you post the trigger? It would be very hard to tell otherwise.

He's talking about this one:

Howl of Terror
Events
A unit begins effect of ability
Conditions
Ability being cast equal to (Howl of Terror)
Actions
set Cast_point= position of (casting unit)
set Unit_Group= units within X of Cast_point
Pick every unit in Unit_Group and do Actions
set run_point= Cast_point with (random number between 100 and XXX) and (random number between 0 and 359) degrees
Unit - Issue picked unit to move run_point
call RemoveLocation (udg_run_point)
call RemoveLocation (udg_Cast_point)
call DestroyGroup (udg_Unit_Group)

This is the most simple. ( I didn`t work on WE so sorry for mistakes (I was making it how I remember triggers))

When will people learn to read the posts before them!

 

[Huntsman]

Well if u could help to improve my trigger.. it would be great

 

[krisserz]

Here is done by me. To make it funnier I incarased movemennt speed of targets inside spell in object editor.

 

[Dr Super Good]

The problem is the same as that with taunt, it does not work well on human players...
Basically they can just issue an imediate rally order via a control group and the spells effect would be neutralized.
Thus you have to cancle out all issued orders for the duration of the spell onto the units as otherwise the spell would be near usless.

 

[krisserz]

Yea, that`s the main problem. If owner of unit is player.

 

[ALiEN95]

could this help ?

(you can make more or less than 700 if you want....)

• Hown of Terror
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Howl of Terror
  • Actions
    • Set POINT_3 = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
    • Set POINT_2 = (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Set POINT = ((POINT_3) offset by ((Distance between POINT_2 and POINT_3) + 700.00) towards (Angle from POINT_2 to POINT_3) degrees)
    • Unit - Order (Target unit of ability being cast) to Move To POINT
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_POINT)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_POINT_2)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_POINT_3)

BTW omg what are you doing with that folders ??? 0_0

How big is your map?

map should be 5 MB MAX

 

[manstie]

Add on after krisserz' and Dr Super Good's point, maybe when unit is clicked, if the clicked unit has the buff, then remove selection from clicking player?

 

[FriXionX]

Or you could make a seperate trigger, every 0.04 seconds move unit to bla and turn this trigger on when you do flee spell. but then it wouldnt be mui.

 

[ALiEN95]

Change his ownership and put it back after 5 seconds?
or maybe disable supply usage?if that works.....

or if he is a hero you can add him countdown timer for 5 sec (but "life time" looks a bit stupid)

unit dies by a function (countdown timer)

>unit dies
>>dying unit equal to (your unit)
>>(killing unit is able to attack ground units not equal to true)
-revive dying unit/create unit of type dying unit

 

[krisserz]

You must detect if unit has reached the point, that it has to move. I think it`s kinda pointless making it in GUI.

why would you have to detect that?,what happens if point is up from unit and he cant come there because he cant fly......better to scare him on some seconds
