Its been a long time since i used the world editor.

How do i target units within range of a point with a specific buff then damage each of them?

tryed use aura for this?
just set the taret allowed fields depend what u want then pick all unit around ur unit within x range

 

[thegreatninjaman]

let me be a little more specific.

I have an ability called PermaFrost. its a toggled ability that gives a buff that slows target down. when i cast Impaling Spear, i want all units with the PermaFrost buff within 700 of Caster to take 75xLevel of PermaFrost.

i am aware i must use Pick units and Do Actions but i cant get it to target correctly.

idk if u know but i doubt u can get the buff giver ability level from buff so u are forced to use unit group :/

PermaFrost is the name of the abilty that applies the buff on attack.

how do you add units with certain buff to group?

 

[thegreatninjaman]

Permafrost Copy
Events
Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Impaling Spear (Jeral)
Actions
Set PermaFrost_Position = (Position of (Casting unit))
Set PermaFrost_Select = (Units within 700.00 of (Position of (Casting unit)) matching (((Matching unit) has buff PermaFrost ) Equal to True))
Unit Group - Pick every unit in PermaFrost_Select and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing (75.00 x (Real((Level of PermaFrost for (Casting unit))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
Wait 1.00 seconds
Unit - Remove PermaFrost buff from (Picked unit)
Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_PermaFrost_Position)

this is the ability i need help fixing

Try using "starts the effect of an ability" or use a damage detection with a dummy unit.

dosnt help. what im trying to do is make Jeral (the caster) deal damage to all units within range that currently have the buff called PermaFrost. all i need to know is how to add units with a specific buff to picked units or to a Unit Group.

Never use waits. Use an arrayed integer timer or a timer variable.

For unit groups, isn't there a function: Unit Group - Add (Picked Unit)

 

[Almia]

Unit Group - Add Unit to Unit Group

Also,why do you need that?

 

[ZiGOR]

make sure that units you wanna hit have that buff, if not - add some dummy buff and than use your trigger.

also use Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_PermaFrost_Select) at the end)

-----------
or you can try that:
Set PermaFrost_Select = (Units within 700.00 of (Position of (Casting unit)) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of casting unit) Equal to True) and ((matching unit) is a structure) not equal to True and (Matching unit) is alive equal to true)
Unit Group - Pick every unit in PermaFrost_Select and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If/than/else multiple
Conditions
Picked unit has buff Permafrost equal to true
Actions
Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing (75.00 x (Real((Level of PermaFrost for (Casting unit))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
Else
do nothing

But once again - make sure that your targets have that buff

i fixed it, for some reason it was not targeting the units with the buff correctly.

 

[ZiGOR]

what was the problem?

 

[thegreatninjaman]

as i said before, i couldn't get the units that had a certain buff within range of caster to be included by picked unit. i guess the whole time it was something else within the trigger causing the problem and not the format haha. talk about fail.

I remember 4***ing with one ability for three days and finally found that I used another variable from another spell
