Turning off Spell

[phoenixfire]

Hello Hive! I've been trying to create this spell where, depending on your level, you summon a group of units. The problem is, they're supposed to be removed after 120 seconds, and I can't figure out how to make it only the specific summoned units, and not any other summoned units in the area. Basically, I ended after "Wait 121 seconds" and then I thought I'd need another trigger to turn them off, so I made a "Run trigger" actions, but if that is not needed I will remove it. Please help!

After you create the unit, add this line:

• Unit - Add a 120.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

It indicates the lifespan of that unit, 120.00 as for example, it has 120 seconds of lifespan

Btw, you have LOTS of leaks
Read This And Improve

 

[phoenixfire]

I was wondering if (Last Created unit) just referred to building one or summoning one, that clears it up.

[defskull]

ANY units that are created using THAT action, the "Unit - Create...", will be referred as (Last created unit)

 

[phoenixfire]

Hmmm, so for the part that summons like 3 units, will all of them be affected by the Last created unit? Or just one of them?

 

[defskull]

No, it refers only to 1 unit, but, you can do this:

• Actions
  • Unit - Create 3 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Footman) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to LastCreatedGroup
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in LastCreatedGroup and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Add a 120.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Picked unit)

Put that 3 units in the group and then add expiration timer through picked unit function
LastCreatedGroup is Unit Group variable, set it up

 

[phoenixfire]

Hmmm, the thing is, the same unit being summoned is also being used as creeps on the map, and there is a different typ eof unit being created, (EX: 2 Norse Pillagers, 1 Norse Elementalist) how would you do this then?

No, it refers only to 1 unit, but, you can do this:

    • Loop - Actions

@nuuh: Add that unit group thing after each "create x units" and you're done
