[Solved] Triggered Spell Problem

[TerraNexx]

I tested this and looked into million times, but still can't find the problem here. The spell is supossed to create little flares every 0.04 seconds for 4 seconds further and further so they would form a line.

The only time this occured is when i casted them near a creep and they walked over it.

I just can't figure the error in this trigger, and i could use a fresh pair of eyes.

Please help

• Trigger
  • Set BurningWake_Angle = (Facing of (Triggering unit))
  • Set BurningWake_Caster = (Casting unit)

Are you serious? Casting Unit = Triggering Unit. They should be swaped.

• Trigger
• Actions
  • Set BurningWake_Caster = (Triggering Unit)
  • Set BurningWake_Angle = (Facing of BurningWake_Caster)
  • -------- Moving on --------
  • Set BurningWake_LocCaster = (Position of BurningWake_Caster)
  • Set BurningWake_LocStart = (BurningWake_LocCaster offset by 200.00 towards BurningWake_Angle degrees)
  • -------- ^^ This Leaks ^^ Points with Offset requires creates 2 points. The base position and the offset position. --------

Also, you wait 3.90 seconds every 0.04 seconds...

• Leaks
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 180.00 of BurningWake_LocNext) and do (Actions)
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 200.00 of BurningWake_LocStart) and do (Actions)

Question: is it supposed to be MPI or MUI?

Question: Is this supposed to create some kind of firewall that continuously damages unit taht comes near, or just a straight line of Fire like Lina's Fenix?

EDIT: I'm Working on the WE to create a spell like the one you want. Never did one like this, so it's taking me a while.

EDIT: I already have it MUI, GUI, and leakless. I just need to know if it's a firewall that remains there, or if it's just a straight line. Also, let me know how many levels the ability has, and how does the damage/range/duration increases per level.

The screenshot shows a bit of the ability. Used some random fire model. It moves slowly (8 points each 0.05 sec) towards facing direction and burns by 2 every 0.05 sec (0.10 was actually doing nothing).

Yeah i know its a lot of mess, but I was trying to get it done faster.

No i didn't want it o be a firewall, (exactly like Lina's Fenix, but ) and it would have about 10-15 levels.

My primary error is that these units i created never get destroyed..they were created and after the spell duration they would stay there forever.

 

[Spartipilo]

Let me know how does the ability scales per level, so I can set it up for you. I already have it.

It was better for me to create it from scratch than fixing your trigger. It has some leaks, and there are better ways to achieve what you want. The triggers looks "Harder" but they're actually simpler

Just in case you want to look the triggers

[Squiggy]

You know, you could just add an expirationtimer to the units and give them locust

 

[TerraNexx]

O yeah expiration timer didn't think of that one -.-
Thank you both
