[Trigger] Trigger Isnt working!

[HeretoDLstuff]

• Storm
  • Events
    • Time - Every 25.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for Player 1 (Red) at (Random point in Region 004 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Stromcloud = (Last created unit)
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Unit - Order Stromcloud to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Random unit from (Units in Region 004 <gen>))
    • Wait 15.00 seconds
    • Unit - Remove Stromcloud from the game

That trigger isnot working, and ive checked over to see the dummy unit is set up right, but if you think I might be wrong, go ahead and suggest something.

for soem reason whenever i tried to do "Unit-Order W/e unit to Mana burn random unit in whereever" it wouldn't work for me, but are u sure that dummy unit has the ability u r trying to cast cus that might be the problem but idk

He has the ability.

maybe you will have to create some variables like a unit variable rather than selecting "random unit from units in region" just do that same thing but set it to a variable in teh begining and do the same for where the dummy unit is created

try to change
Random unit from (Units in Region 004 <gen>)
to
Random unit from (Units in Region 004 <gen> matching ( Owner of Matching Unit is an enemy of owner of Stormcloud unit)==true )

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Lol....Should have thought of that..Still the thing wasnt working when the dummy unit was owned by creep team unstead of player 1 red..

 

[FamousPker49]

im working on it right now in WE gimme a sec lol

Then get sure that the unit has enough mana to cast it and if the range of the spell is high enough to reach the target

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

I have a feeling my trigger IS working, and other triggers are screwing it up...Ill test more and see..

EDIT: The problem was that in order to "Unit-Order Unit to Orc Farseer-Chain Lightning w/e unit" the unit u create has to be based on an Orc Far Seer with the Chain Lightinign ability as a normal "Unit" ability and all that then it will work

• StormCloud
  • Events
    • Time - Every 10.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Center of Region 000 <gen>)
    • Unit - Create 1 StormCloud for Player 1 (Red) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add a 10.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Random unit from (Units in Region 000 <gen>))
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

It allready WAS based of off far seer....that did change anything of how my trigger was.

 

[FamousPker49]

try the way my trigger is becuz the wait might be what is messing with urs but idk

 

[Lingonberryjam]

Just a hint here, the units doesnt have to be based on a far seer, the important with "Unit-Order Unit to Orc Farseer-Chain Lightning w/e unit" is that the spell your dummy has got to have (in the object editor):

Text - Order String - Use/Turn On: chainlightning

This is the Order you call to activate this spell. To activate it via trigger you use the "Unit-Order Unit to Orc Farseer-Chain Lightning w/e unit".

This means that you can have a shockwave based spell, and change the orderstring to "chainlightning".

Make sure the spells orderstring is set to chainlightning.

If this wanst the problem, im not sure what it is.

Well, that shouldnt be the problem becuas it works sometimes.

 

[FamousPker49]

then if it works sometimes its the problem i said,which is if you do not remove the wait it will only work once, becuz i tested the trigger i put up there and it worked just the way it needed to

Make sure that your trigger only picks units that the Chain Lightning spell CAN target. For example, if there are buildings in the target area, your dummy unit might randomly end up trying to cast Chain Lightning on a building, which will probably fail unless you allow the spell to be cast on buildings. That would be why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Use "Unit Matching ( ( (Condition) AND (Condition) ) AND (Not Condition) )" or something similar if you need to weed out a few particular unit classifications.
