[Solved] Triggered DDS Cleaving attack not working

[sarumanthecursed]

hey I've been trying to make a custom cleaving attack that deals 25% (plus an additional 5% on level 2 and 3 (25/30/35%)) of the attacking units dealt damage to units around the attacked unit however I can't seem to get it working.

• Battle Rage
  • Events
    • Game - GDD_Event becomes Equal to 0.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set tempGroup1 = (Units within 200.00 of TempPoint matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of GDD_DamageSource)) Equal to True))
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of GDD_DamagedUnit)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in tempGroup1 and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (GDD_DamageSource has buff Battle Rage ) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Cause GDD_DamageSource to damage (Picked unit), dealing (GDD_Damage x (0.20 + (0.05 x (Real((Level of Battle Rage for GDD_DamageSource)))))) damage of attack type Normal and damage type Universal
          • Else - Actions

You use the tempPoint variable inside the tempGroup before you even declare it.

On top of what GIMLI said, may I suggest adding the "GDD_DamageSource has buff Battle Rage" condition to the first condition block instead of having it inside the unit group?

Ok I've rearranged the trigger as follows:

• Battle Rage
  • Events
    • Game - GDD_Event becomes Equal to 0.00
  • Conditions
    • (GDD_DamageSource has buff Battle Rage ) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of GDD_DamagedUnit)
    • Set tempGroup1 = (Units within 200.00 of TempPoint matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of GDD_DamageSource)) Equal to True))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in tempGroup1 and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Cause GDD_DamageSource to damage (Picked unit), dealing (GDD_Damage x (0.20 + (0.05 x (Real((Level of Battle Rage for GDD_DamageSource)))))) damage of attack type Normal and damage type Universal
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_tempGroup1)

However as soon as he attacks while using the ability the game crashes (No error message, just terminates)

 

[KILLCIDE]

You deal damage within an onDamage event trigger, so the game crashes from an infinite loop. You will need to disable the trigger before the unit group loop, and then enable it back afterwards.

yep that did the trick, thanks

But then that damage ignores the effects of DDS based triggers.

 

[KILLCIDE]

Huh?

Ow, I thought you wanted to turn off the DDS.
