Why this trigger doesn't work, not damage to units and not destroy doodads?

[posthumousturbo]

Which thing I do wrong? I have other trigger for golden barrel of explosives with 6666 damage and BOOM variable.

• Boom
  • Events
    • Destructible - A destructible within (Playable map area) dies
  • Conditions
    • (Destructible-type of (Dying destructible)) Equal to Barrel of Explosives
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet BOOM = (Position of (Dying destructible))
    • Destructible - Pick every destructible within 250.00 of BOOM and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Destructible-type of (Picked destructible)) Equal to Barrel of Explosives
          • Then - Actions
            • Destructible - Kill (Picked destructible)
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 250.00 of BOOM.) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Cause (Picked unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 2000.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_BOOM)

Thank you very much for this post

It is possible triggers conflict? If I try this on other map it is work.

When the AI uses the ability it either doesn't use it at all, OR it uses it on it's own units (Thinking it's a heal) instead of targeting enemy units.

This is soft-locked into AI behavior. It cannot be altered.

You can try to get some complex system (I recall someone already wrote it, check Spell Section) to specify this additional behavior.

maybe bc it's sort of recursive and BOOM keeps getting rewritten. wanna upload the map?

 

[posthumousturbo]

Ok I try upload map!

I upload the map! I copied this trigger from other map to polish rpg

If that is the reason so you have 2 options, add a Wait at the beggining to prevent overwriting, or make the variable BOOM local adding in the top:

• Custom script: local location udg_BOOM

And in the end:

• Custom script: set udg_BOOM = null

Sorry this is doesn't work!

I copied your trigger to an empty map and it seems to work just fine for me.

is it possible you just overestimated how far 250 is and your units/barrels are too far away?

 

[posthumousturbo]

I destroy barrel with melee hero! Monsters attack me melee too! I don't damaged and unit not damaged! I try low range
melee to test this next way!

 

[posthumousturbo]

I try copy this to empty map and this is work. I don't know why this doesn't work in this map!

add debug messages to different parts of your trigger to see which part it's getting stuck at.

 

[posthumousturbo]

What is debug messages how add this?

 

[Cheshire]

actions - game - text message

nothing fancy. just a way to easily tell where the trigger stopped executing.

 

[posthumousturbo]

This is doesn't write anything. I do action-game-text message x5

 

[posthumousturbo]

Messages doesn't work! Not displaying and no damage to units.

 

[Cheshire]

like this:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- stuff --------
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: first part works
    • -------- other stuff --------
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: second part works
    • -------- more stuff --------
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: third part works

 

[Cheshire]

Messages doesn't work! Not displaying and no damage to units.

if it's not showing messages at the beginning of your trigger it means the trigger isn't firing. is it possible you are killing the wrong type of barrel, or that the trigger isn't active?

This event is limited to 64 destructibles in the region, so that might be the problem.

You can only register up to 64 Destructibles to that trigger. So only 64 of your Destructibles will cause that Event to run. You need to break the map up into regions and use those instead of (Playable map area). Just make sure that you don't have more than 64 Destructibles in each region.

Also, you will have recursion problems because you're causing the trigger to run again while it's still in action.

I attached a map with a working example using local variables (Jass).
