[Trigger] Trigger help

[Devalut]

Basically this is a spell that i got, in the second Trigger (RuinedFleshDamage) it states that the unit with this ability has to be present in the map installation. My question is that can there be a way around this? because i want it for a specific hero that is chosen in a hero tavern and not immediately on the map.

Doesn't work TT

 

[wolfman]

Is there only going to be one unit on the map that can have this ability? Because if multiple units can use this ability you will have to use arrays.

 

[Devalut]

it was initially for a single hero unit, now that you mention it how many arrays would i need?

 

[wolfman]

Well that depends. If it is possible for each player to have one of these heroes, then you will need 12 arrays, 1 for each player. But if there can only be one of this kind of hero on the map then you dont need arrays.

Doesn't work TT

Wut?

• Untitled Trigger 004
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Ruined Flesh Damage the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)

This works when buying mercs, I can not see why it wouldn't work for you.

 

[Devalut]

The damage isn't absorbed. But Maker thanks to you, i made a Frankenstein hybrid of your Trigger:

• Ruined Flesh Damage 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Runed Flesh
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.01 seconds
    • Trigger - Add to Ruined Flesh Damage 2 <gen> the event (Unit - RF_Caster Takes damage)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

• Ruined Flesh Damage
  • Events
    • Unit - Blood Mage 0015 <gen> Takes damage
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacked unit) has buff Runed Flesh ) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • -------- Blood mage 0015 <Gen> is a preset unit, you would need a unit already placed on the map on map initialization --------
    • Set RF_Damage = (Damage taken)
    • Set RF_ShieldLife = (RF_ShieldLife - RF_Damage)
    • Unit - Set life of RF_Caster to ((Life of RF_Caster) + RF_Damage)

Why not just add this for event instead of what you have.

• Unit - A unit Is attacked

This should make it so that whatever unit has that buff and is attacked then your actions will occur. I think this is what your asking for but I may have misread your question/problem.

 

[wolfman]

Unit is attacked runs the trigger before the unit takes damage.

Devault, did you set RF_Caster to a unit? and why did you add a wait?

 

[Devalut]

Oops that's from the old trigger i forgot to delete it TT.

and Palermo1 i thought the same thing and no it doesn't work.

 

[Palermo1]

Oops that's from the old trigger i forgot to delete it TT.

Make sure on all those variable declarations that you have the unit as attacked unit if you say it doesn't work because this should work.

 

[Devalut]

Unit is attacked runs the trigger before the unit takes damage.

it just doesn't work, if you wish you may try this yourself.

 

[wolfman]

I know that it doesnt work. That's what i was implying lol.

 

[Devalut]

i was using your Post as an example, forgive me !!!

 

[wolfman]

Oh ok. So you couldnt get it to work?

 

[Devalut]

Yes in fact i mentioned it
