Trigger Help - How to make a time bomb?

[Mr.Bear]

Alright guys what I want to know is how do you grab an item, place the item at a location, then have something to activate the timebomb to activate and after X seconds it explodes and deals area damage, I do not know how to do this, can anyone help me with this?

In my map, I placed destructible rocks blocking a road, my objective in that map is to blow those rocks, I got a timebomb model, so I wish to be able to place the timebomb close to the rocks and after placing the bomb, I have to move the unit away from the radius until it explodes by a timer.

This is a possible Solution, it allows multiple Bomb-Placing in the same time.

• Single Target Spell - Allow Targeting Items.
• Trigger Cast: Check if the target is really a Time bomb,
  • Create a invisible Dummy unit with 4 second life time no Attack ect.
  • Save the activaded "Item"-Bomb inside a Hashtable first key the Item Second Key the Dummy Unit.
• Trigger Event on Death: Bomb-Dummy Dies
  • Check if the Bomb is hidden, Carried?
  • Do AoE Dmg around the Bomb
  • Pick Destructibles in Area and dmd/kill them, maybe check for correct type.

Copy item Sentry Ward, item ability and the ward. Remove all of the ward's abilities, add a custom instant cast ability, such as Channel (to set timer). You need two triggers:

1. When a unit cast the stated ability, add a timer of xx seconds to it.
2. When a unit type of stated ward dies, do damage to AoE units and destructibles.

the simplest solution is to just give a unit the explode on death ability. then give it an expiration timer to its life span or use a trig to kill it after x amount of seconds.

the the only thing you need to do is created about 3 timer explosion items. 1 for 1 second...2....3

now your units have the option of using a bomb that explodes in one second or one that explodes in 3.

simply created a trig that detects if the item of goblin mine is used.... then say destroy goblin mine in 3 seconds

if you don't know trig... sorry my instructions ars a bit unclear
