[Trigger] Why wont the hero use his ability when i tell him to...

[Superz_Ze_Man]

The hero does have the rain of fire ability in his abilities section and it is not the unit version(of which the doom guard uses). The ability takes 0 mana and the cast range is 99999. The trigger works for howl of terror, which is an "order with no target" however not with "order targeting point".

UnitBoss = the boss that is summoned. (this isnt the bug either, because it orders the variable unitBoss to use the ability "howl of terror" perfectly fine.

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • And - All (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • bossAbilities[2] Equal to False
        • (Percentage life of UnitBoss) Less than or equal to 85.00
        • (Percentage life of UnitBoss) Greater than or equal to 80.00
  • Then - Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: rain of fire
    • Unit - Order UnitBoss to Neutral Pit Lord - Rain Of Fire (Position of UnitBoss)
    • Set bossAbilities[2] = True
  • Else - Actions

Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Dont mind the messy trigger and possible leaks. Im simply trying to get this thing to work first ^^

Make a variable if you don't already have one called tempLoc. Before you have it say "Rain of Fire", use Set Variable to

• Set tempLoc = (Position of UnitBoss)

and after you set bossabilities[2] = true put: Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempLoc). This removes a location leak and might fix your problem.

    • And - All (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • bossAbilities[2] Equal to False
        • (Percentage life of UnitBoss) Less than or equal to 85.00
        • (Percentage life of UnitBoss) Greater than or equal to 80.00
  • Then - Actions
    • Set TempLocation = (Position of UnitBoss)
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: rain of fire
    • Unit - Order UnitBoss to Neutral Pit Lord - Rain Of Fire TempLocation
    • Set bossAbilities[2] = True
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLocation)
  • Else - Actions

Removing the leaks didn't help. Any other ideas? +rep

What is the Percent of health supposed to do? From what i see, if you removed that, it would possibly work.

 

[Superz_Ze_Man]

This trigger is activated by UnitBoss getting attacked. it checks if his health is between those percentages; if it is, then the hero will cast that ability. And i dont think that is the cause, for example:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • And - All (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • bossAbilities[1] Equal to False
        • (Percentage life of UnitBoss) Less than or equal to 100.00
        • (Percentage life of UnitBoss) Greater than or equal to 95.00
  • Then - Actions
    • Unit - Order UnitBoss to Neutral Pit Lord - Howl Of Terror
    • Set bossAbilities[1] = True
  • Else - Actions

This one works fine :/

 

[khamarr3524]

That's the problem. Because then this will only fire if his hp is EXACTLY 85% at any given time. If you skip 85% there is no chance in the firing. try setting it to less than or equal to 85% and greater than or equal to 80%.

 

[Superz_Ze_Man]

already did that? Thanks anyways tho

 

[khamarr3524]

Alrighty I'd check it out more but I gotta go. I'm thinking its something in the conditions so I'd suggest fiddle with that. Sorry I couldn't directly help ya

 

[Superz_Ze_Man]

Eh... ive just ended up using this trigger instead (found it in one of my older maps )

• Ability rain of chaos
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to UnitBoss
    • (Life of (Triggering unit)) Less than or equal to 18000.00
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Unit - Add Rain of Fire BOSS to (Triggering unit)
    • Hero - Learn skill for (Triggering unit): Rain of Fire BOSS
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Neutral Pit Lord - Rain Of Fire (Position of (Triggering unit))

It'll have to do.. and yes, there are leaks, il fix that later..
