Circle of Effects

[FarAwaY]

As the title says, how do I create a circle of effects using triggers?

Please help.

make a loop, and create the effect in every direction, using the A Loop Functions.

use the search command, i'm sure u'l find an example somewhere.

Wouldn't that basicly just be:

• Example
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Point2 = (Point offset by 400.00 towards (36.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) degrees)
        • Ubersplat - Create ubersplat at Point2 of type Volcano Crater with color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) and 0.00% transparency (Disable paused state, Disable skipping birth time)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point2)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point)

Btw: I have no clue what that spawned effect would look like... xD

lol those volcano's are huge.

but yeah thats the kindof thing he wants, i think.

but probably for an ability?

like a nova blast or something, if so look at the link on my previous post.

some thing like this:

• Massive Impale
  • Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Massive Impale
  • Actions
  • Set Caster = (Triggering unit)
  • Set Real = 0.00
  • Set CasLoc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for (Owner of Caster) at CasLoc facing default building facing degrees
  • Unit - Turn collision for (Last created unit) Off
  • Unit - Add Massive Impale (Dummy) to (Last created unit)
  • Unit - Set level of Massive Impale (Dummy) for (Last created unit) to (Level of Massive Impale (Hero) for (Triggering unit))
  • Set LocOffset[(Integer A)] = (CasLoc offset by 700.00 towards Real degrees)
  • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Crypt Lord - Impale LocOffset[(Integer A)]
  • Set Real = (Real + (360.00 / 8.00))
  • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_LocOffset[bj_forLoopAIndex])
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_CasLoc)

No no I know how to make a nova.

What I want to do is to make a CIRCLE. Like a circle of frost novas around you - that sorta thing. I read that guide already as well.

Well the trigger I showed above is basicly what you need to make a circle of dummies, effects or stuff like that around a hero. If you want them to look like Frost Novas make dummy units with the model of a Frost Nova.

If you want the circle to move with you/spin around you you'd need something like... ehm...

• Example 2
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Angle = (Angle + 1.00)
    • Set Point = (Position of Hero)
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Orbs[(Integer A)] is alive) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Point2 = (Point offset by 400.00 towards ((45.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) + (4.00 x Angle)) degrees)
            • Unit - Move Orbs[(Integer A)] instantly to Point2

^Leaks, I know...

If you want like... a real circle make dummy untis and create lightning effects between them, I don't have the triggers for that here at the moment.

I'm pretty sure I've covered every type of circle posible now... XD
