I have this trigger to run after the boss of the game dies. Its just a bunch of special effects to make his death look appealling.
The cinematic turns on, the sounds play, however the special effects do not show. The wierd thing is, this was working 100%
in the last patch of my game, but I have no idea of what I've done to prevent it from working properly.

  • I tried setting "Mannaroth Ressurection" without the reference of other variables, didn't work.

  • I tried playing the special effect without any reference to variables, didn't work.

  • No, its not becuase the SPX isnt destroyed (and I'll worry about leaks after the trigger works)

I know its lengthy, but its just copy and paste. You should only need to look at the first special effect.

Moin moin =)

Hmm actually the effect itself is okay, only thing I can think of is "((Position of (Dying unit)) / (Position of Mannoroth)". You should use a variable to store the dying unit and refer to it in your "Mannaroth_Ressurection " variable.
Should work, because you remove all units, in this case you remove the dead Mannaroth too and then these 2 Positions are null!

Also I was wondering about your using of Ressurection_O, Ressurection_D and Ressurection variable anyway? You should try to use a loop instead of your way.

Well I remember my first tries with loops and they went all bad and I never got what I wanted to get until someone helped me with it, so look this:

  • Loops
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Dies
    • Conditions
      • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
    • Actions
      • Set TempPoint1 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 15, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Wait 0.10 seconds
          • Set TempPoint2 = (TempPoint1 offset by (320.00 - (20.00 x (Real((Integer A))))) towards (24.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) degrees)
          • Special Effect - Create a special effect at TempPoint2 using Abilities\Spells\Undead\RaiseSkeletonWarrior\RaiseSkeleton.mdl
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2)
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint1)
Notes:
- I just tried to base my loop on the way you use, but the special effects looks weird, but maybe its correct :eek:
- You should never ever use a wait action inside a loop BUT! you can do it, when the loop is fired once only at the same time. So in my example when the footman dies, the loop will be fired. When I kill another footman while the loop from the last kill is going on, it will be buggy.
But it seems to be your Mannoroth seems to be a boss or something which can only be killed once in a short time, you can use it!

== What the loop does ==
So as you see the loop goes from 1 to 15, which means the actions inside are fired 15 times.
Look at TempPoint2. I set the offset 320 - 20 * (Integer A) and the facing to -24 + 24 * (Integer A) this means:

loop-round 1 the offset is: 320 - 20 * 1 = 300 and the facing -24 + 24 * 1 = 0
loop-round 2 the offset is: 320 - 20 * 2 = 280 and the facing -24 + 24 * 2 = 24
loop-round 3 the offset is: 320 - 20 * 3 = 260 and the facing -24 + 24 * 3 = 48
.. and so on until the loop-round reaches 15.


Also loop can be uses very easy when you wanna create a circle of for example special effects. As you know a circle has 360°. Now you think about how many effects you wanna create (lets say 10 now) and then you simple use:
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set TempPoint2 = (TempPoint1 offset by 300.00 towards (36.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) degrees)
      • Special Effect - Create a special effect at TempPoint2 using Abilities\Spells\Undead\RaiseSkeletonWarrior\RaiseSkeleton.mdl
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2)
so the effect is created in 300.00 distance faced 36, 72, 108, 144 ..until .. 360 (36 * 10(Integer A))

Well at the first time it looks a bit scary (and in GUI it is actually..) but after you used it some times you easily know how to handle loops^^
