Trigger event aoe attack?

[achoozoo]

Hi im sure this has a very simple solution but currently i just cant seem to get it to work, im trying to make a trigger where the event is getting a meat wagon attacking ground in a certain region (if you arent aware meat wagons attack ground skill is an aoe). currently i can do everything i want with the trigger except get the event to register the attack the problem is that world editor only allows the events:

Order Targeting a Point
Order Targeting a Unit
Order Targeting an Object

And as an aoe attack is not an attack which targets a point but rather an area it isnt working. Am I missing something or is there some work-around which I should use? Any assistance would be amazing!

Thanks in advance,
Achoozoo

Make your own version of the skill but make it target point aiming. Just change the AoE of the skill to 0 and use triggers to make the skill damage AoE.

You must create the Regions first... ?
Then, order it to attack the Region, randomly ?
Next, order that unit to use the Targeting a Point Action
Example:

• Unit - Order *YourUnit* to Attack Ground (Center of Region 000 <gen>)

Wow. I didn't know that defskull. But it leaks a lot...

 

[defskull]

Surely you'll think of something to clear...
I've just gave him the basic idea, lazy to even set Variables as I have other things to do
Do I need to add in the tags or something ?

This trigger example wouldn't leak. There's no variables used and it attacks a specific region. Not a temp point.

I thought regions leak as you can't remove them.

Regions can be linked with a variable from Point-type
The Center of Region Action
Therefore, you need to clean only the point, not the region itself
Although in Cinematics if we want to clean Region, do this:

• Custom script: call RemoveRect(udg_variablename)

Wow. I've got to learn some JASS and cinematics...

But I can't find any good guides on it. Most guides just talk about parameters variables blah blah but I want to know what to type to get what action.

To remove region,use

native RemoveRegion

You can't refer regions in GUI though.
The region palette creates rects upon which regions are created in BJs when using GUI.
