A Few TD Questions...

[WrathMonkey]

I have a tower (modeled on the Hawk) that I want to use Chain-Lightning as it's attack. I have a trigger for it:

Chain Lightning
Events
Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Is attacked
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Seraphim
Actions
Unit Group - Order (Units of type Seraphim) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Attacked unit)


But I'm afraid that it doesn't work. Any idea what may be wrong?

========

Another question I have is I have a Hero Tavern, basically, for builders. The builders, when chosen, spawn next to the Hero Tavern, and not at the players' respective spawnpoints. I would like them to spawn at the players' respective spawnpoints so that they know where to build. Any idea how to do this?

1- change (in the action) the unit type seraphin to ''triggering unit''

2- A unit enter **your tavern region** order entering unit to move (instantly) at player owner of entering unit's start location.

PS, put your trigger in ''[code*][/code]'' (ermove the *)

Using Sold Unit might be easier then making a region.

 

[Don]

affirmative, didnt thought about it!!

 

[WrathMonkey]

Thanks both of you, that was really helpful.

:\ I had a problem with the Seraphim again... it still isn't casting Chain Lightning as its attack. In fact, it's still not casting it at all. :\

 

[Don]

In fact, your attacked unit may be dead, so chances that you strike it are small...

The way to do it is to pick a unit within X range of the attacking unit and order hawk to far seer chain lightning picked unit, try that!

 

[WrathMonkey]

What would be the Event then?

 

[Don]

No event change, try this trigger:

LOL
    Events
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Is attacked
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Footman
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 700.00 of (Position of (Attacking unit))) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from Your_group) and do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Picked unit)
                Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from Your_group

your_group = variable ''unit-group''
change footman to hawk

 

[WrathMonkey]

How am I supposed to make the variable Your_group equal the Seraphim?

EDIT: I realize I can make it any possible Seraphim, but how will I make it the specific attacking Seraphim?

 

[FireBladesX]

You do exactly as he says, except do:

Set Variable: Set Your_Group equal to (Units in 700 radius of (position of Attacked Unit) matching (Unit is an enemy of (Attacking Unit) equal to True))

before you pick random N units from unit group.

Sorry for the sloppiness, I don't have WE up.

 

[WrathMonkey]

Thanks FireBlades, and no worries, I think I'll be able to figure it out.
