Windwalked unit don't attack

[Bulish]

Hey,

I encountered a problem. I wanted to make a "assassin" unit, which has ability based on Wind Walk. The ability automatically casts, the unit becomes invisible and has this buff. However, on "Issue Order Targeting A Unit" trigger with the "Attack", this unit gets on the location of this targeted unit, but don't attack.. It just stands there..

Do you guys know how to make it strike? I want it to use the bonus damage ("backstab"), so setting ability off is not the way I guess..

Can you post the trigger please.

Can you post the trigger please.

I would love to, but my World Editor is not in English... :/

But basically, its like:
If Unit-type of Picked unit equals Assassin
Unit - Order Picked unit to Attack Random unit from Region1

Something like this.. And the cast ability is simple, when trained, cast ability wind walk, but this part is working.

Post the map then, we can open it and look at your trigger.

You would never find those triggers in this mess.. Nvm, I will just forget my assassin unit..

Would like to help, but okay..

Copy the trigger, post it in a new map, and upload that. If you still need this fixed.

Wind walk has a small delay for being able to attack again. I think it can be customized with one of the fields in object editor(transition time?).

I had this situation a while ago. Basically AI will not actually attack from Wind Walk of what I could manage to work out.

You had to force their animation to play, deal the damage via trigger, create the floating text and then remove the buff. Basically you had to re-create the entire ability for AI to use it, hence why I gave up with it in my map XD

Maybe its possible to using the "smart" order and tageting a unit.

I tested it, if you place your windwalk unit right next to the unit to be attacked, it attacks it while windwalk goes into effect.

So if you simply wait for the transition time to end and then order your windwalk unit to attack, it will attack.

• this works
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Wind Walk
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.65 seconds
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Attack Rifleman 0000 <gen>

^you need to set a variable for the triggering unit... MANY things can happen if you wait 0.65 seconds.. the triggering unit will changed if another trigger runs so you need to store the triggering unit ....

Triggering Unit is local, so it doesnt change.

As for the windwalk issue, you need to edit Data - Transition Time(or wait it out), as mentioned above.

> Triggering Unit is local, so it doesnt change.

You're both partially right. The triggering unit does have scope that will work after TSA, but there are some bugs associated with this that sometimes require caching.

 

[Gismo359]

Oh, I didnt know that.

 

[venger07]

^I know that it's local.. I'm talking about when he uses the WAIT and another trigger runs that involves triggering unit actions...

I know what you meant, you're just incorrect. The API for GetTriggeringUnit() maintains scope after TSA.

I was talking to Gismo... that's why I put "^"...nvm
