This is a skill. I don't know if it is possible to be MUI because it requires a region called "CheatBox" to be moved to triggering player, because I create special effects within the region, because I have no idea how to do so otherwise (I mean, making special effects appear randomly in a 1000 range around a unit. If anyone else knows how to do it, please tell me!).

Sorry for long triggering. Thanks!
 
I don't think I'm gonna look through the triggers.. But based on your description, you can create and remove regions, not necessarily make a preplaced one and then move it around.
 
So how do you create and move regions and then destroy them, with triggers? Because in order for this to be MUI, a region has to be created for every player that uses it.
 
Trigger
Events​
Conditions​
Actions​
Set regionVar = (Region centered at TempPoint with size (300.00, 300.00))​
Custom script: call RemoveRect(udg_regionVar)​
 
This ability even working?
Cause i saw in your 2nd trigger every 0.10 seconds, then "If SOFFBolean[Player number of (Triggering player)]... What triggering player? It's a periodic event. BTW there are some leaks in the trigger. Anyway, the main way to make it MUI is hashtables. I find hastables kinda annoying, I'm just starting with it. You should check tutorials about it, try this one.
 
Is it possible to create a region when a unit casts an ability, then center the region on the unit, and then (optional) destroy it afterwards?

My spell is based on centering a region on a unit when it casts a spell, and then creating random special effects in that region during the duration of the spell. However, if 2 players are to cast this, there's only one region that is being moved around at any given time so the special effects wont show for one of the casters.

Any way to get around this?

Following the above, instead of regions, use a point (x,y is better) and radius (real).

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread

    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
