[oxxo]

• feign death
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Feign death
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set (Casting unit) movement speed to 0.00
    • Animation - Play (Casting unit)'s decay flesh animation
    • Wait 0.10 seconds
    • Animation - Change (Casting unit)'s animation speed to 0.00% of its original speed
    • Set feigndeathstate[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = 1
    • Player - Make Player 11 (Dark Green) treat (Owner of (Casting unit)) as an Ally
    • Unit - Remove Feign death from (Casting unit)
    • Unit - Add Stop feigning death (Casting unit)

why the FUCK does this piece of shit trigger not work ?

it works PERFECTLY FINE except for the last action. It simply doesnt fire.

after using wait Casting unit becomes null so before using the wait save Casting unit in a unit variable then use that variable

 

[oxxo]

i appreciate your help,

but that can not be correct.

since it is only the very last action that does not fire.

the action before that does fire, and also refers to "casting unit" and also occurs after the wait action. conclusio errate.

thanks for trying.

Try using a skill based off Immolation and instead of using the Feign Death state for checking conditions, just check for the buff.

Do that add ability before the remove, it doesn't like to go the other way around. Don't ask me why it works, it just does.

 

[idodik]

The ability is a unit ability, I presume.
Stop Feigning Death might have an ability in its structure, try making a dummy with it and see if you can activate it.

I'd believe that the first reply is the one closest to the answer.

 

[graystuff111]

Seriously, Try adding the ability before removing it. It just works that way.

 

[Mage_Goo]

just change the "casting unit" to "triggering unit". After wait, as said above, casting unit become null if you use "Unit - start the effect of an ability" event.
And swap between add and remove ability sometimes make it icon not place correctly.

 

[graystuff111]

Fine, don't listen to the person who knows what he is talking about.

 

[RED BARON]

after using wait Casting unit becomes null so before using the wait save Casting unit in a unit variable then use that variable

This would be correct and needed if he wants more then one player to be able to use it at the same time. (A good idea to do it anyway, read more about it in the MUI tutorial (to lazy to write it myself, when someone already have))

I would consider doing the reorder of the last two actions as already suggested. And maybe change the event to: Unit - A unit begins channeling an ability (although that would only be to ensure the mana is drained, but as it does the other things it might be uneeded)

 

[Justify]

First of all I would say try "triggering unit" instead of "casting unit"... casting unit isn't "null" after a wait afaik, but as soon as another spell is castet... triggering unit is local and will be the same value for the entire trigger.

graystuff is correct, but so are the rest of you.

Some abilities trigger events (defend, for example) when removed but do not do this when they are added. When this happens, it fires a completely different event and the Casting unit is set to null.

So, you can either solve it by:
1. Adding the ability before removing it, or
2. Using a local variable

However, if you have other units casting spells then you have to use a local variable (if another spell is cast during the wait period it will cause the trigger to malfunction)

 

[Rmx]

Just the the Casting unit into the variabel then use that variabel also try ading the abilitie before removing it.



Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to Feign death

Actions

Set Hero = Casting unit
Unit - Set (Hero) movement speed to 0.00
Animation - Play (Hero)'s decay flesh animation
Wait 0.10 seconds
Animation - Change (Hero)'s animation speed to 0.00% of its original speed
Set feigndeathstate[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero)))] = 1
Player - Make Player 11 (Dark Green) treat (Owner of (Hero)) as an Ally
Unit - Remove Feign death from (Hero) \/
Unit - Add Stop feigning death (Hero) /\

Do the last Part Add then Remove okay

I think he may have gotten it now, after around 6-7 differnt users including myself have mentioned what to do.

Now I just hope it will work for him

Anyway no need to keep repeating this
