[defskull]

Can someone tell me WHAT determines the FIRST caster of the ability

• Init
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order Blood Mage 0000 <gen> to Night Elf Druid Of The Claw - Roar
    • Unit - Order Blood Mage 0052 <gen> to Night Elf Druid Of The Claw - Roar

As you can see, Blood Mage 0000 is the first in order BUT the effect will go to the second unit, Blood Mage 0052
So, my question is WHAT will determine which unit is the first to cast the ability ? (well, this question is for non-MUI trigger)

For the following trigger, it is not MUI
Can someone help me to make it MUI and if you can, please explain this and that and maybe tips to help me and also, others, hope so

I've attached a test map for easier preference
Please update the test map and post it in your reply so I/we can download it and test it
+rep is all I can give =D

 

[millzy]

your going to have to use indexing/hashtables

ill do it for you and add comments

 

[Maker]

The effect in your map goes for the last unit to cast it, since the spell isn't MUI.

EDIT: Updated map.

 

[millzy]

well i guess i was too slow

 

[Vizel]

Yeah, you have to set the last unit to use it to a variable and use that. Otherwise it will do it according to the last unit to cast the ability.

EDIT: Updated map.

So, "Last bla bla bla unit" will determine the effect of the spell/trigger, correct ?
The last in order was Blood Mage 0052, which is my enemy...
Will check the trigger and leave comments =D

EDIT:
OMG, too many custom scripts !!!
Can someone make it more in a GUI way ?
Indexing looks easier than hashtables since it doesn't require the usage of too many custom scripts !
SaveReal(udgo[k[aopk'[dk'ap[ko) OMG !
But thanks for the edit Maker !

 

[Vizel]

That's only if you're using JNGP, Def, as Hashtables don't seem to work in GUI for JNGP.

If you're using regular WE, you'll be able to get away with it, I guess.

Ghost to the rescue...
I can supply a map if needed.

Okay Ghost, provide a test map please =D
By the looks of it, what is that trigger type ?
If it's Indexing, it sure has the "If/Then/Else multiple functions" in the first trigger where at the Else function, we save multiple of variables

 

[GhostThruster]

It is just indexing, but the PG_Int is confusing. I couldn't be bothered making 'PG_Index', 'PG_Skip', and 'PG_Loop', so I combined them into one array variable.
PG_1 = index (the current max array)
PG_2 = skip (the current amount of total arrays)
PG_3 = loop (an integer to replace Integer A, to remove some bugs)

Btw, my triggers aren't bugged (I copied yours, but made them indexed), I believe that you set the angle wrong, so it is pushing instead of pulling (unless you wanted that effect).

 

[mckill2009]

PG_3 = loop (an integer to replace Integer A, to remove some bugs)

and this means, there are no uses for PG_3 = loop? other than loops?

 

[defskull]

Indexing zZzZzZzZzZzZZzZZZzzZzZZzZzz

Ghost, to be honest, do you like Hashtable or Indexing better ?

 

[GhostThruster]

Index, by far! My friend, Hashtables should only be used in the direst of consequences. I prefer locals and indexing. They are much easier, and I'm a lazy bastard ;P

PG_Int[3] is used for loops only, because Integer A and B can bug when used together sometimes.

good! that's all I want to know for the moment.
