[Solved] Trigger Function Problem

[Xzere]

Hello, i'm having an issue with my trigger, which is that the chance of a dummy spawning, is (Now in this trigger) based on the hero getting ATTACKED, not the hero itself attacking (Which it's supposed to be). And also the damage dealt is supposed to be based on the base damage of the hero. What am i missing/doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

So my guess is the dummy barely spawns at all?

The dummy spawns and works, except that it spawns when the hero gets attacked, which i dont want, i want it to spawn when the hero attacks. And the damage should be based on the heros base damage, that is my problem

In the condition block where you have the if ability of level not equal to 0, add if unit type of attacking unit equal to your unit.

Tried that too, still works the same :/

• Set VariableSet Copycat_Target = (Attacked unit)
• Set VariableSet Copycat_Caster = (Triggering unit)

For "A unit Is attacked" event, "Triggering Unit" is the same as "Attacked Unit".

• Set VariableSet Copycat_Target = (Attacked unit)

Hmm, so how should i do?

 

[DoomBlade]

Like this:

• Attack Event
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Level of YourAbilty for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet Caster = (Attacking unit)
    • Set VariableSet Target = (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Cause Caster to damage Target, dealing 250.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

Also you should store the location into variable, before creating the dummy unit.

This might be useful to you:
Things That Leak
Memory Leaks

And for another issue at hand. You should never use the Event - A unit is attacked. I highly recommend you to download a DDS. It looks a bit scary at first, but it is actually really easy to use.

Like this the dummy wont spawn at all like this :/

Yeah i've seen a lot of those but i really dont understand how they work. What is the primary use of a DDS?

Modify as you like, but this works. Tested.

Edit: Well although that worked correctly it did not seem like mine did, idk what i'm missing, cant seem to figure it out.

Try changing this to attacking unit. Then see if it works

Set VariableSet Copycat_Dummy = (Last created unit)

Also this needs to be right after you create unit or the orders you are issuing will fail.
