Trigger help - New to World Edit

[JanDevario]

Hello there!

I am quite new to the World Editor and was trying to make an aimed spell (based of Breath of Fire) that will snare all units hit.

The spell applies a buff to all units hit but how do I make the triggers?

I basically want the trigger to find all units with the buff and ensnare them.

Since I have not yet learned much about the trigger editor I would really appreciate some help here.

Here you go! For this you will need a dummy caster - here's a tutorial.

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Breath of Fire
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.30 seconds
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) has buff Breath of Fire) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set p = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at p facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Add Ensnare to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Set level of Ensnare for (Last created unit) to (Level of Breath of Fire for (Triggering unit))
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Raider - Ensnare (Picked unit)
        • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_p)

Note: If your ensnare ability only has 1 level, leave out the "Unit - Set level of Ensnare for (Last created unit) to (Level of Breath of Fire for (Triggering unit))" part.

I have problems making the Unit Group Action, where do I find (Actions)? As in "and do (Actions)"

 

[Mr_Bean]

Do you have Frozen Throne or just Reign of Chaos?

 

[JanDevario]

Oh, I wasn't selecting multiple actions

Works fine now, thank you very much.

Awesome

One improvement:
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) should be changed into (Triggering player).

 

[Mr_Bean]

Previously I have tried this but it didn't seem to work. So I just replaced Triggering Player with Owner of (Triggering Unit).
