[Trigger] Tips for improving codes

Napoqe · Mar 29, 2025

I recently got back into playing Warcraft 3. I'm creating a map to learn and remember World Editor.
Map has a Paladin hero and Boss Blood Mage.

Boss Blood Mage uses Banish + Flamestrike Combo. But sometimes he desynchronizes his combo. Here is the code:

Blood Mage
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Is attacked
- Conditions
  - (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Blood Mage
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Ability Cooldown of (Attacking unit) for ability Golpe Flamejante , Level: 1.) Equal to 0.00
      - (Ability Cooldown of (Attacking unit) for ability Banir , Level: 1.) Equal to 0.00
      - (Boss is Undead) Not equal to True
    - Then - Actions
      - Unit - Order Boss to Human Blood Mage - Banish Hero
      - Wait until ((Ability Cooldown Remaining of Boss for ability Banir ..) Not equal to 0.00), checking every 1.00 seconds
      - Unit - Order Boss to Human Blood Mage - Flame Strike (Position of Hero)
    - Else - Actions

This also happens in the second phase. Sometimes he cancels Flamestrike to use Drain Life.

Blood Mage Ghost Form
- Events
  - Time - Every 11.00 seconds of game time
- Conditions
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - And - All (Conditions) are true
        
        Conditions
        
        (Ability Cooldown Remaining of Boss for ability Golpe Flamejante ..) Equal to 0.00
        
        (Boss is Undead) Equal to True
        
        (Unit-type of Boss) Equal to Blood Mage
    - Then - Actions
      - Unit - Order Boss to Human Blood Mage - Banish Hero
      - Wait until ((Ability Cooldown Remaining of Boss for ability Banir ..) Not equal to 0.00), checking every 1.00 seconds
      - Unit - Order Boss to Human Blood Mage - Flame Strike (Position of Hero)
      - Wait until ((Ability Cooldown Remaining of Boss for ability Golpe Flamejante ..) Not equal to 0.00), checking every 2.00 seconds
      - Unit - Order Boss to Neutral Dark Ranger - Life Drain Fenix
    - Else - Actions

I also want to learn more about regions. Moving units x distance from a reference point without leaving an area (Boss Arena).
Using special effects with short lifespans. I don't trust "Last Created" and have had problems with it in the past.
Do still need to use dummies to cast abilities (increase effects of an ability) in Reforged?

Well, first off, I believe your first trigger never issues any orders to begin with

Your first trigger (Blood Mage) has condition like this:
"(Ability Cooldown of some_unit for ability some_ability , Level: 1.) Equal to 0.00"
What you are checking is the cooldown set for the ability in Object Editor, not the remaining cooldown after ability has been cast.
As such, your "Then - Actions" block ever executes (of course, assuming the ability has cooldown configured to begin with), so what you may have been observing was just unit's generic AI casting various spells.

In second trigger you correctly check remaining cooldown, so that is not an issue. I assume the Boss Is Undead check is correctly set? Just to make sure since your first trigger checks (Boss Is Undead) isn't True, while second trigger checks that (Boss Is Undead) is True.

Anyway, the main issue - cancelling cast - is because you are using those "Wait until (ability cooldown > 0.00)" actions.
Ability cooldown starts when units starts the effect of an ability, not when it finishes.
So you cast Flame Strike => spell effect AND cooldown starts => Wait until action detects that => Boss is issued order to cast Life Drain => Flame Strike has effectively been cancelled

Warcraft 3 is event driven, so I think the easiest way to achieve what you want is to break this down into multiple triggers, for example:

Trigger #1 periodically checks if remaining cooldown on Banish and Flame Strike is 0.00. If so, it orders Blood Mage to cast Banish
Trigger #2 detects when Banish cast has finished and orders Blood Mage to cast Flame Strike
Trigger #3 detects when Flame Strike cast has finished and orders Blood Mage to cast Drain Life

Triggers #2 and #3 can even be merged together when using state-machine like approach to determine which ability (Flame Strike or Drain Life) to cast.

Edit: Here is example of what I meant

Periodic Check
- Events
  - Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
- Conditions
  - (Ability Cooldown Remaining of Boss for ability Banish..) Equal to 0.00
  - (Ability Cooldown Remaining of Boss for ability Flame Strike..) Equal to 0.00
- Actions
  - Set VariableSet BossCastState = 1
  - Unit - Order Boss to Human Blood Mage - Banish Hero

Boss Finishes Cast
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
- Conditions
  - (Triggering unit) Equal to Boss
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - BossCastState Equal to 1
      - (Ability being cast) Equal to Banish
    - Then - Actions
      - Set VariableSet BossCastState = 2
      - Unit - Order Boss to Human Blood Mage - Flame Strike (Position of Hero)
    - Else - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        BossCastState Equal to 2
        
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Flame Strike
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Set VariableSet BossCastState = 3
        
        Unit - Order Boss to Human Blood Mage - Siphon Mana Hero
        
        Else - Actions

I have used the "Finishes casting an ability" event so that he does the entire combo under normal circumstances, but you can break it by for example stunning him.

This helped a lot.

Is there a boolean to check when a unit is channeling an ability? Or will I need to create several Triggers to check when it is channeling via Event, when stun or silencer interrupts Flamestrike channeling?

Blood Mage Drain
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Is attacked
- Conditions
  - (Percentage life of Boss) Less than or equal to 50.00
  - (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Blood Mage
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Ability Cooldown Remaining of Boss for ability Drenar Vida ..) Equal to 0.00
      - BloodMageCastState Not equal to 2
    - Then - Actions
      - Unit - For Unit Boss, end cooldown of ability Banir
      - Unit - Order Boss to Human Blood Mage - Banish Boss
      - Sound - Play BloodElfMageWhat1<gen> at 100.00% volume, located at (Position of Boss) with Z offset 0.00
      - Wait 1.00 seconds
      - Unit - For Unit Boss, end cooldown of ability Banir
      - Unit - Cause Hero to damage Boss, dealing 35.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Magic
      - Unit - Order Boss to Human Blood Mage - Banish Hero
      - Wait 0.50 seconds
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Hero has buff Banir) Equal to True
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Unit - For Unit Boss, end cooldown of ability Drenar Vida
        
        Unit - Order Boss to Neutral Dark Ranger - Life Drain Hero
        
        Unit - For Unit Boss, start cooldown of ability Banir " over "(Cooldown of Banir , Level: 1.) seconds.
        
        Else - Actions
    - Else - Actions

I don't want this Trigger to cancel Flamestrike if the unit has started channeling.

Nichilus · Mar 30, 2025

I don't think there is a boolean check that would tell you if unit is channeling or not.
I can think of two options on how to handle it:
1) track casting via generic start/stop cast events
2) track casting via current order

ad 1
You just detect any start and stop of cast done by the boss unit and update related IsCasting boolean variable, e.g.

Starts Cast
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
- Conditions
  - (Triggering unit) Equal to Boss
- Actions
  - Set VariableSet IsCasting = True

Stops Cast
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Stops casting an ability
- Conditions
  - (Triggering unit) Equal to Boss
- Actions
  - Set VariableSet IsCasting = False

ad 2
There are just a few orders to check out to determine if unit is not casting anything. Any order beside the few means unit is casting something.

Actions
- If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  - If - Conditions
    - Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      - Conditions
        
        (Current order of Boss) Equal to (Order(attack))
        
        (Current order of Boss) Equal to (Order(move))
        
        (Current order of Boss) Equal to (Order(patrol))
        
        (Current order of Boss) Equal to (Order(<Empty String>))
  - Then - Actions
    - Set VariableSet IsCasting = False
  - Else - Actions
    - Set VariableSet IsCasting = True

---
I think checking order may be better solution overall, because the first option does not take into account that unit has to run into range of the target before it starts the cast. So you could order Boss to cast flame strike at some remote location, Boss begins running towards that location to get within range and while he is running option #1 would still say he is not casting while option #2 would say he is casting.
When it comes to AI, it might make more sense to go with option #2 that says he is already casting.

I found a solution to not try to use Flame Strike when the Life Drain Combo triggers. Which is to simply deactivate the Trigger that orders the Flame Strike and activate it again only when the Trigger orders the Life Drain. There are no more combo interruptions due to unwanted orders, except for the Boss's IDLE that randomly happens and breaks it completely. If use a Trigger to order when he is standing still, it breaks other order triggers.

Take the opportunity to show the work in progress in a video:

I found out what was causing the Boss to go IDLE and made a Trigger to get out of it.

Unstuck
- Events
  - Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
- Conditions
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Current order of Boss) Equal to (Order(banish))
      - (Unit-type of Boss) Equal to Blood Mage
      - Boss_IDLE_Check Not equal to 5
    - Then - Actions
      - Set VariableSet Boss_IDLE_Check = (Boss_IDLE_Check + 1)
    - Else - Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - Boss_IDLE_Check Equal to 5
    - Then - Actions
      - Unit - Order Boss to Stop.
      - Set VariableSet Boss_IDLE_Check = 0
    - Else - Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Current order of Boss) Not equal to (Order(banish))
    - Then - Actions
      - Set VariableSet Boss_IDLE_Check = 0
    - Else - Actions

But I still haven't figured out why Phoenix doesn't get the Black Arrow buff needed to summon skeletons.

Might want to avoid using TriggerSleepAction (GUI Wait actions) since that is not very precise.

Timers are much better for this sort of thing since they work in game time rather than a rough approximation of real time that is network latency sensitive in multiplayer.

The general flow of an ability combo would be something like...

Check the hero can combo. This means the abilities are ready to cast and the hero is in range to cast it on a victim.
Cast first ability.
Use a timer to wait some amount of time to execute the combo. Might need to be measured experimentally.
Check again if it is still possible to combo. The target might no longer be valid such as due to moving out of range, teleporting away, dying, going invulnerable, e.t.c. If they are not a valid target anymore then abort the combo.
Use combo ability 2.
Repeat from steps 3 to 5 for each additional ability.

For channels you would periodically check if they are still channeling. If a buff is involved it should be trivial to do, but if there is not such a buff you might need to resort to using another trigger system using channeling events to track when channeling starts and ends and then refer to that information.

Thanks to @G00dG4m3 for creating the skill. But I want to better manipulate this skill. Like increasing the unit's attitude until the middle of the trajectory, the system automatically recognizes it and after that starts to lower the unit. Also, the unit does not pass the target, if the jump speed is modified.

For simple parabolic altitude, a quadratic equation is usually used. For example if a unit were to jump a distance of 1,000 units, peeking at 500 units height in the middle then the following formula could be used to calculate what height the unit should be at any given point along the path.

Code:

height = - (1 / 500) * (distance - (1000 / 2))^2 + 500

This fits very much with how the rest of Warcraft III works. Warcraft III is mostly a 2D RTS game, where the height of terrain, units, e.t.c. is largely an illusion.

Unable to modify item ability using Trigger Ability Field? Or am I lost in something?

Not all modify ability actions work for some abilities. I suggest testing if you can modify the item ability like you want with some test triggers.

Where did I not notice the error? I've reviewed it several times.
I'm having a little trouble creating ice. But nothing happens when restoring terrain.

I have another question. How does Slide Ninja's slide work? Does it use Trigger's instant teleport?
I want to use the ice surface to increase the movement speed of the Slide Ninja-style unit to dodge the Boss's abilities. Ice is temporary.

I managed to solve this myself after a lot of work. I reproduced the ice creation progress system but replaced it with the restore effect.
Now I need to make the sliding system. But it's only available in Jass. And I don't know how to program.

This is likely because GUI is just so limited it is hard to make systems in GUI.

If the sliding system requires spamming smart orders to rotate then it uses the GUI style instant move fired at a high frequency like >30 times per second as that overrides unit orders on every movement. If you drift around in response to a single order then it is likely using SetUnitX/Y since those retain current unit orders.
