Storm Bolt Teleport

Nor · Jul 7, 2013

I want to make my casting unit teleport to the back of target unit after the missile impact to the target unit

is it possible in GUI?

+Rep to those who can help me

It is possible. If the missile is made throughtriggers then you don't need to have a damage detection system.
However if you're not using triggers then you need it.

It's best to trigger the whole spell. I already made the spell, but it stuns AoE. I easily remove the AoE stun and just stun target.

BloodDrunk · Jul 7, 2013

do you have some troubles replicating it?

Kusanagi Kuro · Jul 7, 2013

Set StormHammer_TrigUnit[TempInt] = StormHammer_TrigUnit[MaxIndexStormHammer]
Set StormHammer_TrigUnit[MaxIndexStormHammer] = No unit
Set StormHammer_TargetUnit[TempInt] = StormHammer_TargetUnit[MaxIndexStormHammer]
Set StormHammer_TargetUnit[MaxIndexStormHammer] = No unit
Set StormHammer_Dummy[TempInt] = StormHammer_Dummy[MaxIndexStormHammer]
Set StormHammer_Dummy[MaxIndexStormHammer] = No unit

This may be the problem. If the other unit cast the same spell at the same time, then MaxIndexStormHammer will be change and therefore changing the unit. I think u dont need to set these variable again.

DivineLight · Jul 7, 2013

this your problem

Set TempInt = (TempInt - 1)

you have to null it too
and here

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
- If - Conditions
  - MaxIndexStormHammer Equal to 0

you have to put it outside the loop

your

must in outside the ITE not inside

Uh, it's in the Else part. Else means opposite, so uh you probably didn't get ITEs.

BloodDrunk · Jul 8, 2013

The Spell works just fine...

Tonex · Jul 8, 2013

Derp, is it just me, or could you just use Starts the effect of an ability with Storm Bolt and move the casting unit behind the target unit?

i dunno, sometimes people put them outside the loop but sometimes inside the loop

not neccesarily, but sure it's fine too..

I just checked this topic and thought the same, have one trigger that begins when unit casts spell, it activates other trigger which checks every 0.05 seconds whether target unit has got buff (probably buff "Stunned/Pause, id change it so something custom) and then set some point behind the unit (facing angle -180?) and move unit there..

Or i dunno, i like making things easy, ignore me, my triggers tend to bug

Tonex · Jul 8, 2013

I just mean one trigger:

Storm Bolt Teleport
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
- Conditions
  - (Ability being cast) Equal to Storm Bolt
- Actions
  - Set p_temp = (Position of (Triggering unit))
  - Set p_temp = (p_temp offset by 100.00 towards ((Facing of (Triggering unit)) + 180.00) degrees)
  - Unit - Move (Casting unit) instantly to p_temp_2
  - Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_p_temp)
  - Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_p_temp_2)

That'll make the casting unit move while it's just throwing the storm bolt missile.
What he wants is teleport the casting unit when the target is hit.

But I have an easier solution for you:
First: create a "channel" ability
Second: create a dummy unit with storm bolt model
Third: give that dummy unit a custom fireball ability with 100 cast range
Fourth: create 2 triggers

Trigger 1:
Events - A unit starts the effect of an ability
Conditions - Ability being cast Storm Bolt (Channel Based)
Actions -
Create 1 Storm Bolt (dummy) at etc etc
Order last created unit to fireball target unit of ability being cast

Trigger 2:
Events - A unit start the effect of an ability
Conditions - Ability being cast Fireball (Dummy)
Actions -
Kill casting unit
Pick every units own by owner of casting unit boolean is a hero etc
Move target unit of ability being cast to (variable of target unit's position)

That's easier.

Tonex · Jul 8, 2013

Hmm, so unit starts the effect of an ability before the projectile hits the target?

Karassu · Jul 8, 2013

Tonex said:

Yes...
Once a unit "throws" the storm bolt, it's already "a unit starts the effect of an ability"

That's why he needs to use a dummy unit to act as the projectile, and once that dummy hits the target with a 100 range fireball ability, move the casting unit to the target unit's position.

Tonex · Jul 8, 2013

My bad, I thought it was when the effect of the ability actually starts, i.e. damage and buffs.
