[Trigger] Targeted Unit/Cast

[Atticus]

My trigger is not working. This portion...

• Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing (3.00 x ((Percentage mana of Dummy Unit(Magic) 0000 <gen>) x 0.10)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Fire

Here is the entire trigger if you need it.

• ManaWipe
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to ManaWipe
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (100 + %) above Muradin Bronzebeard 0002 <gen> with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn on Damage Increase <gen>
    • Wait 6.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off Damage Increase <gen>
    • Floating Text - Destroy (Last created floating text)
    • Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing (3.00 x ((Percentage mana of Dummy Unit(Magic) 0000 <gen>) x 0.10)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Fire
    • Unit - Set mana of Dummy Unit(Magic) 0000 <gen> to 0.00

But the damage wont go to the unit having the ability cast on them. What am I doing wrong /cry +rep for help

Use the event, Starts the effect of an ability all the time. Its the most efficient.

Instead of casting unit, Use triggering unit

but also those waits will screw it up.

 

[Atticus]

I changed everything you told me to.

Its not the person casting its the person having it cast on. He doesn't take damage.

 

[Just_Spectating]

yes because your waits lose the information of what is being targeted.

 

[Atticus]

Are you serious? Can it be done after 1 wait or no waits at all?

 

[Just_Spectating]

waits generally screw alot of things up :/

If you're at all curious...I think I fixed it...I think.

• ManaWipe
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to ManaWipe
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (100 + %) above Muradin Bronzebeard 0002 <gen> with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Trigger - Turn on Damage Increase <gen>
    • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage circular area after 6.00 seconds of radius 15.00 at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)), dealing (3.00 + ((Percentage mana of Dummy Unit(Magic) 0000 <gen>) / 8.00)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
    • Wait 6.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off Damage Increase <gen>
    • Floating Text - Destroy (Last created floating text)
    • Unit - Set mana of Dummy Unit(Magic) 0000 <gen> to 0.00

EDIT: Nvm that trigger above did not work...however I just used a variable to set the unit within a region to the unit thats going to take the damage. Thanks for you're help..REP+
Then I have a trigger which moves region to position of unit every 0.1 sec...

Casting Unit will never work after a wait, how ever Triggering Unit will.

 

[DenZel94]

If you are planning to have a trigger that doesn't use "Triggering unit" and has waits, you'd have to set the unit into a variable and use that variable for the actions.

Casting Unit will never work after a wait, how ever Triggering Unit will.

oh. thats a useful tip.
