Summoning Spell

[Ultimazed]

Hi, I wanted to create an ability that could summon a ''random'' creature from a pre-determined selection.

If for instance I use the spell, i could have 20% chance to summon this creature, 20% chance to summon that creature, etc...
Is it do'able without Jass ? Thx ...

Could somebody give me advice ?

• Summon
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Feral Spirit
  • Actions
    • Set SummonType = (Random integer number between 1 and 10)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • SummonType Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Fire Element DUMMY for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Far Seer - Feral Spirit
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • SummonType Equal to 2
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Summon Bear DUMMY for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Far Seer - Feral Spirit
      • Else - Actions

Now both of these will have 10% to be summoned. Just give Feral Spirit -based spell to these dummy units and edit them like you want.

Here you go. This is much simpler

I think both of yours are forgetting something - they both leak

• Ability
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Summon
  • Actions
    • Set variable (Temp_Point) = (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Summon_units[(Random integer number between 1 and 5)] for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Temp_Point) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Custom script - Call Removelocation (Udg_Temp_Point)
    • Unit - Add a 60.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

That should fix it

They don't leak...i don't use any variables for a point so i don't have to destroy it...so no leak. simple

 

[watermelon_1234]

Tank-Commander is correct; the point leaks even if you don't use a variable.
If you want, you could also replace Casting unit with Triggering unit. (Supposedly faster)

 

[Spoontoobig]

Yes... use triggering unit instead of casting unit!

 

[GhostThruster]

The only way it doesn't leak is by setting it as a variable and destroying it!
