[Trigger] Trigger Buffs/Effects

[ThewZ]

Well, hello guys. I tried to do it by myself, but, I find it a little difficult to trigger it.

When some research is finished or, every () minutes of the game to create a buff in all units of a player.

The problem is not the player, or all units, the problem is that, if I, for example, want a Bloodlust in all units, I cannot trigger normally. Neither by a dummy, as I tried.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks, in advance {:

What do you mean you can't trigger Bloodlust on all units? You just create a dummy unit for each unit and order it to cast Bloodlust on it (of course the dummy unit has to have that ability).

I suppose you did something wrong with making the dummy unit? Give more details, please.

 

[Bobo_The_Kodo]

Make sure the bloodlust ability can target all the units you want it to target

(Enemies? Buildings?)

 

[ThewZ]

Well, for example, I created the dummy and give him the Bloodlust ability. A custom one. Then, I made him cast bloodlust on all units of () player. But, it doesn't worked.

The target is units, in the case.

EDIT

And, my bloodlust is a custom one. Does Orc Shaman - Bloodlust (Picked Unit) works as well, since the Order String is the same?

 

[Kwah]

Yes. What you need to do is create one dummy FOR EACH unit on the playable map area. MAKE SURE THAT THIS DOES NOT LEAK!

And yes it does pick up the ability.

 

[ThewZ]

Couldn't it be one dummy for each Unit Owned By Player ()?

I did this, but, it doesn't worked.
And, well, if I do the Units on Playable Map Area, I may put a Condition, right?
And how will I make sure that it doesn't leak?

 

[Kwah]

See things that leak.
for more details. Basic commands include. Also remove unit groups.

• Set variable = Temppoint = location of unit picked unit
• call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

 

[ThewZ]

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to Player 6 (Orange)
      • Then - Actions
        • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for Neutral Extra at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shaman - Bloodlust (Picked unit)
      • Else - Actions

It is not working so far.

Yea and go and make a coffe until the game creates all those units and casts the spell :S
You could just make a dummy unit or two with a 999999 casting rage bloodlust on autocast and let them do the dirty work. They won't cast it in an instant but way much better than wait for 9999 seconds lag.

 

[ThewZ]

Ok guys, both of them doesn't worked. I have already tried. Dunno what else >D

Well, answering your questions: It is ALL units of one player, it could be 1 or more than 50.
Any guesses?

 

[Kwah]

True, but that would take a long time. Depends on # of units on map.

 

[ThewZ]

Well, I tried to put the cast range to maximum and autocast, tried to create one unit for each unit, but, it doesn't worked for both. And, it does create the dummy, but it does not cast the ability, although it have the same String.

 

[Kwah]

Hmm, make sure you enable autocast.

 

[Skudgemuffin]

The dummy unit won't autocast on the units because they aren't in combat.

 

[ThewZ]

Well, ok anyway. I tried in both ways, and neither of them worked.
With or without autocast, 999999 range, one dummy for each unit, well, I don't know {:

If anyone get's a idea, just say.

 

[Bobo_The_Kodo]

Lol, just thought of something that I forget sometimes.

Does your dummy have no mana but the ability needs mana??

Heh, and did you remember to add your bludlust to the dummy?

 

[Silvenon]

Are you sure dummy units have that ability? Did you make sure that the mana cost is equal to 0?

Btw, instead of that condition, you can just put this:

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 6 (Orange)) and do (Actions)

 

[ThewZ]

Well, the mana was set to 0, the dummy had the ability, the cast range was maximum etcera.

It still doesn't work.

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 6 (Orange)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for Neutral Passive at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shaman - Bloodlust (Picked unit)

Don't know what's happening.

 

[Kwah]

Hmm, that still might lag a lot.

Not sure why it does not work. It probably can only target self or something like that. Try re-creating the ability and dummy. If none of that works try to get them to cast another skill and see about that.

 

[ThewZ]

Well, worked. It was probably because the ability was under Default Active Abilities.

And, the mana. And, some bloodlust requirements, gosh.
Thanks all.

 

[Kwah]

No problem. . .

 

[Bobo_The_Kodo]

In the future, f it doesn't work, and the trigger is fine, try removing locust and giving the unit a model for a test to see what is wrong with the abil

 

[Silvenon]

Yeah, that's a good idea. Hawk, it doesn't matter if it leaks or lags, that doesn't change the actual action.

 

[Kwah]

No it does not.

I'm just saying that his trigger will lag the game up A LOT.

 

[spiwn]

One word for this tread - aura.

 

[emperor_d3st]

Meh, spiwn actually has a very, very good idea. I think it would be much wiser to just use a movement speed and attack speed aura. ^^ Nice one.

 

[Kwah]

Auras tend to be the simplest modifiers.

 

[En_Fuego]

What's the mana capacity on your dummy and how much mana does it cost to Bloodlust?

 

[spiwn]

What's the mana capacity on your dummy and how much mana does it cost to Bloodlust?

FFS dummy casters should have no mana(not necessarily) and the abilities they have should require no mana neither.

P.s. Just go with an aura.

 

[Silvenon]

What's the mana capacity on your dummy and how much mana does it cost to Bloodlust?

Well, the mana was set to 0...

Nice.

Oh, I didn't see that the problem has been solved, good then.

 

[En_Fuego]

Sorry I didn't care to read half the posts in the thread.

And anyway, I don't recall him saying anywhere if Bloodlust costed mana.

 

[emperor_d3st]

If you don't read every post don't post. Your post will be most likely redundant and useless.
By the way, I think this thread has been solved by ten different ways by now - if the OP understood those suggestions.

 

[En_Fuego]

I skimmed through the posts unknowing that there was a second page and all I saw was "Create 1-2 dummy units with max range, it may take a while to cast blah blah" "Use an aura" "Does your dummy unit have the ability?"
