[Trigger] Why isn't this working?

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Climb Tree
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of (Target destructible of ability being cast)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add Disenchant to (Last created unit)
    • Custom script: call IssueTargetDestructableOrder(bj_lastCreatedUnit, "disenchant", GetSpellTargetDestructable())

that stupid owl caused by this ability is still there when it should be taken out by disenchant...

I recommend using a different tree-targeting ability.

The owl will still be there because you use disenchant too early, it will launch off before hte owl even has a chance to get there.

The only other tree targetting abilities destroy the trees...which is not what i want since im trying to "climb" them...

Do you know of any other spells that target trees but does not destroy them?

 

[Bribe]

Set the spell - targets allowed - to "trees". Just use a harmless ability like channel as the base ability.

 

[madman9800]

That does not work

It still says "needs to target a tree" even if i AM targeting a tree...ahhhhhh dangit.

Post map!

Here is a map with only the related trigger (the original map is too big/complicated)

You have to understand few things. Disenchanct is point type spell meaning that you can't order unit to cast it on destructible but first set position of target tree and then call function that orders dummy to disenchant that location.

You are forced to use abilities that target trees by default (there are few exceptions surely) because channel can't target tree ;/
It's great that you use Naish Sentinel spell - because it works properly for this kind of actions.

Additionaly:
- your triggers leaks
- the string order is 'dispel' not 'disenchant'
- you have to consider speed of missle, if it's instant that you can run actions instantly, but if it has some speed (thus there is delay before owl will actually sit on tree) TriggerSleepAction or other 'delay' stuff should be introducted to your trigger.

Next time please add stuff required to test the trigger (trees) and create proper dummy unit =)

Spinnaker, Thank you so much for your response. I learned a lot from it. I would rep you but it says I must spread rep around before i can give it to you again

Thanks again!
