Experimental Action Problem

[nardretor]

• Unit - Cause VSCaster to damage VSTarget, dealing ((Real(HeroCreepKill[(Player number of (Owner of VSTarget))])) x 4.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

That is my action that is not working. It is a triggered spell and i want it to work like this...

If the targeted unit killed 15 units already, he will take 15 x 4 damage.

VSCaster is the casting unit
VSTarget is the targeted unit
HeroCreepKill is the integer array that tracks the kills of the targeted unit

Tell me if it is still confusing but that aint working.

Thanks for those who will help

Post the whole trigger please.

It's a bit confusing and still some actions are still not working...

There are three triggers

• Vengeful Spirits
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Vengeful Spirits
  • Actions
    • Set VSCaster = (Triggering unit)
    • Set VSTarget = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set Temp_VSCaster = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set Temp_VSTarget = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Level of Vengeful Spirits for (Triggering unit)) Less than or equal to 2

If you have some suggestions please tell.. im not a triggers expert

What I want is...
When the caster casts Vengeful Spirits(a stun only), i want to create spirit/s from the caster then they will go to the target. then the target will take damage (killed units x 4)

 

[OneBadPsycho]

Hmm, are you sure your ability is a unit targeting ability?

 

[crazyfanatic]

set the region to poinrs in range of the place where the centre must be.

 

[NoobImbaPro]

WTF IS THAT?

• Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Vengeful Spirit (Dummy Caster) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Temp_VSCaster facing Default building facing degrees
  • Unit - Order VengSpirt to Move To Temp_VSTarget
  • Set VengSpirt = (Last created unit)
  • Wait 0.50 seconds
  • Unit - Create 1 Vengeful Spirit (Dummy Caster) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Temp_VSCaster facing Default building facing degrees
  • Unit - Order VengSpirt2 to Move To Temp_VSTarget
  • Set VengSpirt2 = (Last created unit)
  • Region - Center VengeSpiritTarget <gen> on Temp_VSTarget

you order the unit to cast something and after you set what unit is it????

 

[Moridin]

I think what he meant^ was:

You're setting the variable VengSpirt AFTER you order it to move to Temp_VSTarget. You have to set it before...otherwise it returns blank...

Note: Similar for VengSpirt2

 

[nardretor]

First of all, the orginal ability of Vengeful Spirits was Storm Bolt.
2. the region is big enough to get the entering unit why it aint working
3. actually the variables VengSpirt 1 and 2 are useless.

The wrong things are:
1. The entering units are not disappearing
2. The targeted unit doesn't take damage

and... i am not ordering to cast something

 

[Dameon]

Ok first off the unit that starts the effect of the stormbolt is the target, not the caster, so you have the same unit set to them both, you should use unit casts ability.

Next some times there is a glitch where a unit will enter a region, set off the trigger, but wont pass the in region check. This normaly happens if you enter the region from the right side or the top I belive. The easyist fix is to set a slightly larger region overlapping the triggering region. like the (o), o being the entering region and ( ) being the check region.

 

[nardretor]

Oh.. So i'll change "A unit enters region" event to unit casts ability then modify everything on that trigger? Am i right?

 

[nardretor]

BUMP

I changed the size of the region.. warcraft 3 crashed when i used the ability Vengeful Spirits : (

 

[NoobImbaPro]

Can you plz tell us in detail (step by step) what you want your spell to do?

 

[nardretor]

Vengeful Spirits
- The casting unit stuns the target, then one or two vengeful spirits will go to the stunned unit. When they reach the stunned unit, it will receive damage and the formula for the damage is number of killed units by the stunned unit X number of vengeful spirits that will go to the target X 4
