Trigger Help

[NightStalker]

Hey guys i'm working on a map and i need a little help for a trigger.

There is a volcano and it is erupting in the game. It creates randomly placed effects around itself in a region such as thunder clap, flame strike etc... I need a trigger to kill the units who get in a close range with these effects.

Do i need to create a new variable or is there a predefined method i can use??

You can place a dummy unit somewhere in the map and make it damage the area, Unit - Damage area. Make the damage very high.

An alternative is

set point = some location
set group = units within x of point
pick all units in group
--kill picked unit
create effect at point
remove point
destroy group

Is there any way except using a dummy. Instead of it can i use only these effects' places.

 

[Maker]

Yes, I posted the alternative.

oww looks like i'm noob at making maps but if i entered them correctly into the trigger editor it's only making effects when a unit is dying.

What i'm trying to do is to create randomly placed effects, the player will not know where these effects will appear and if an effect appears on him, he will die.

event
. every 10 seconds
conditions
actions
. destroy effect1
. set tempPoint = random location in region
. create effect at location
. set effect1 = last created effect
. move dummy unit to tempPoint

make another trigger like this
event
. unit in range of dummy unit
conditions
actions
. kill triggering unit

make sure to preplace the dummy unit for this trig. also make it invisible and never kill the dummy unit u can use one unit for each effect.

Thanks the last triggers with the help of the dummy worked but i couldn't manage to make it work without the dummy.

i believe u could use a unit group and do something like this

Set unitGroup = (Units within 512.00 of tempPoint)

 

[NightStalker]
