Mines

[Waaaaagh]

Not being able to do something in GUI is... meaningless. GUI is Jass, with fewer options, and nice looking icons.

Are you using a custom footman unit? Also, you may need to generate the "Mine" units after map init.

I know that. I am simply stating that by trying it in GUI, you can see if the flaw is in the coding compared to somewhere else. It does make sense if you think about it.

 

[Waaaaagh]

How can you see the flaw when GUI so obviously does not support the dynamic creation/destruction of triggers?

Anyway, I have confirmed that you must generate all of your "mine" units. Pre-placed mines will do nothing, so, you MUST generate the mine(s), after map init (like time elapsed 0.01). replace 'hkni' with the ID of the Non-footman unit. keep 'hfoo' as is, unless you have made a custom footman. If so, change the ID to match.

my mine unit is a customised footman with the ctrl D code of h009

edit: the unit I am testing it on is created when my hero uses an ability, then the custom footman(mine) is created at the location of the hero.

 

[Waaaaagh]

what? What do you want to happen then? You want any unit that enters range of the footman to explode?

 

[master maste]

no just my hero unit "hamg" is the code.

 

[Waaaaagh]

So you want every footman that enter range of your hero to explode?

if so, your mine unit is the hero, 'hamg', and change 'hfoo' to 'h009'

 

[master maste]

did that and nothing happened. . .

 

[Waaaaagh]

PM me your map.

 

[master maste]

ok give me a min

 

[Waaaaagh]

Sure Thing...

 

[master maste]

almost there, we are sorta just upping each others post numbers (not that anyone really cares about em)

 

[Waaaaagh]

Waaaaaaagh says,

Yeah, except for AceHart's. He is, like... inside his computer.

 

[master maste]

dunno how to PM to you so. . . this should do.

 

[Waaaaagh]

Tada.

 

[master maste]

What was wrong (checking now)

edit: just wondering if there is a way to get this bad boy to damage the unit that causes it to explode?

 

[Waaaaagh]

You had 'hamg' ...but the hero was Bloodmage 'Hbmg'. I made it 'Hamg' (capital H), and also made it so the hero was generated after map init. AYou can place aboms down wherever, but the hero must be generated after init. Course.

So, you want the aboms to explode and damage the hero?

 

[master maste]

yea just want the explosion to damage the unit that caused the unit to detonate

 

[Waaaaagh]

gimme a few minutes...

 

[master maste]

ok, sure.
