[General] SUICIDE SQUAD???

[stan0033]

Hey, I have vendor units and when you buy 3 items from one I want to mae teh unit suiide kill itself with effect. I need this, because the unit is invisible and only visible to the player! and when it disappears I Want to effect to be also invisible! So.... is there any suicide ability?
Else I know there is local special effect, but someone told me they cause desynchronization.... in multiplayer...

It will not cause desync if you've only set it's string model path.

local string model = " "
if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
    set model = "war3\some\Model.mdx"
endif
call DestroyEffect(AddSpecialEffect(model,0,0))

what the zeroes at the end of destroyspecialeffect? Is it a point? If it's a point I can use variable for it instead of coordiantes?

 

[FUJI]

They are coordinates and ( 0, 0 ) centers the map. It is a real variable not a point. It is just an example btw

Yes you can use a variable to reference them as long as you repeated twice or more than twice it's function call.

 

[stan0033]

I think the special effect should be before endif

^ Nope, it should be right under the LocalPlayer block otherwise it will ignore your latest model reference.
Actions on the top of a function are executed first before the bottom ones.
