[Trigger] Trigger'd Spell

[needhelp1]

I tried to make a spell that reduces the enemy unit's hp to 50%.
I based it on channeling:

Data-Art Duration-1
Data-Base Order Id-Channel
Data-Disable Other Abilities-False
Data-Followed Throught Time-1
Data-Options-Viable,Psyhical Spell
Data-Target Type-Unit Target
Stats-Area Of Effect-1

^The channel part, tell me if anything is wrong, this is my frist attempt


And now my trigger:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to WTF
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Player 1 (Red)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of (Targeted unit) to 50.00%

What is wrong?And thanks.

What exactly is the problem?

And also, can you put the trigger inside trigger tags please?

Done, mind helping?

 

[Storyyeller]

The only thing I can see wrong with it is that you aren't checking the enemies current health, meaning that it will get healed if it has less then 50% hp currently.

If that isn't the problem, it would help if you described what the problem was.

 

[needhelp1]

Hmm, it's like a spell, but it deals no dmg.

 

[ALiEN95]

you should do it like this if you don´t wanna heal them


this action is dealing damage life - 50%

Unit - Set life of (Your unit) to ((Life of (Your unit)) / 2.00)

this action is dealing max life - 50%

Unit - Set life of (Your unit) to ((Percentage life of (Your unit) - 50)%

the only problem with second action is that the killing unit will not get gold when he kills a unit

but if you do it like this he will

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Percentage life of (target)) Greater than 50.00
  • Then - Actions
    • Unit - Set life of (target) to ((Percentage life of (target)) - 50.00)%
  • Else - Actions
    • Unit - Cause (cating) to damage (target), dealing 1000000000.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

• Untitled Trigger 001
• Events
• Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
• (Ability being cast) Equal to WTF
• (Owner of (Targeted unit)) Not equal to Player 1 (Red)
• Actions
• Unit - Set life of (Targeted unit) to 50.00%

Well, first of all why your trigger isnt working. You never establish a targeted unit. You said you based it on Channel right... Sooo. yea.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 512.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Owner of (Picked unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
• Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) / 2.00)
  • Else - Actions

And with this you never have to worry about the caster not getting credit for kills. The spell shouldnt kill anything. I think this is what you're asking for right? Like a version of D2 Sorceress's Static Field?

@ Guishiu: your trigger leaks

@ needhelp1: just change the

• Unit - Set life of (Targeted unit) to 50.00%
• TO
• Unit - Set life of (Unit ability being cast) to (Life of (Unit ability being cast)/2

 

[Guishiu]

@ Guishiu: your trigger leaks

• Unit - Set life of (Targeted unit) to 50.00%
• TO
• Unit - Set life of (Unit ability being cast) to (Life of (Unit ability being cast)/2

Leaks?? What are leaks?? O.O J/K

Anyways, the caster is trying to damage himself?? WTF I dont get it!!

 

[Amigurumi]

I hadn't the we open, so I didn't wrote it right. It is Target unit of ability being cast

 

[Guishiu]

Ok, but still. You didnt read what I SAID earlier did ya? He never Declares a target unit. Hence the unit groups. What you wrote is in my trigger.

 

[krisserz]

@Guishu

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 512.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit))) and do (Actions)

HERE. It should be

• Set Temp_Group = (Units within 512.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit))

then

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in Temp_Group

and then

• Custom Script - call DestroyGroup (udg_Temp_Group)

@needhelp1
Just do what Amigurumi said.

 

[Guishiu]

So he doesnt have to establish a targeted unit?? Hell now i dont understand.

 

[Amigurumi]

if you mean this: '(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Player 1 (Red)'
then heonly has to change it to this: '(Owner of (Target unit ability being cast)) Not equal to Player 1 (Red)'

 

[krisserz]

Other thing is that here

• Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) / 2.00)

should be

• Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) / 2.00)

 

[Guishiu]

Oh lol thought I did it that way. That's what I meant to. Changed it. Good eye. But I still don't understand.

 

[krisserz]

@needhelp1

Stats-Area Of Effect-1

Why you used it? When you trigger spells it`s pointless.

 

[Guishiu]

Oh, LOL now i see. The target are declared in the spell itself. even though its just channeling. Cool Spell Template

 

[needhelp1]

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to WTF
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Player 1 (Red)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to 50.00%

Still doesnt work, I think the Channeling part of spell is wrong, can someone look for it?

 

[krisserz]

Ok I will PM you.

Edit; Do you want AoE spell that reduces HP of all units to 50%?

 

[Amigurumi]

change your condition
''(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Player 1 (Red)''
to
''(Owner of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Not equal to Player 1 (Red)''
then it should work

 

[Mage_Goo]

Why you use condition ''(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Player 1 (Red)''?
Just erase it and make the Channel can't target Ally.
You want this spell just target 1 unit or want to make it AoE spell?
If you want just target 1 unit, use this

spell

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Channel
  • Actions
    • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing ((Life of (Target unit of ability being cast)) / 2.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

if you want AoE, use this

spell

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to <Channel>
  • Actions
    • Set TempLoc[1] = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup =true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 600.00 of TempLoc[1] matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing ((Life of (Picked Unit)) / 2.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc[1])
