Ability help, Passive Dryad ability.

[Rhadamanthus]

So....

I'm trying to make an ability that gives a unit (Dryad) evasion if it's near a tree...

• Forestwalk Detect
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Destructible - Pick every destructible in (Playable map area) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Forest = (Picked destructible)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 300.00 of (Position of Forest)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Level of Forestwalk for (Picked unit)) Greater than or equal to 1
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to Forestwalkers
            • Unit - Set the custom value of (Picked unit) to 3
          • Else - Actions
            • Do nothing
    • Set Forest = No destructible
    • Trigger - Run Forestwalk Effect <gen> (checking conditions)

Then...

• Forestwalk Effect
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Forestwalkers and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Custom value of (Picked unit)) Greater than 0
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Add Evasion (Neutral Hostile) to (Picked unit)
            • Unit - Set the custom value of (Picked unit) to ((Custom value of (Picked unit)) - 1)
          • Else - Actions
            • Unit - Remove Evasion (Neutral Hostile) from (Picked unit)
            • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from Forestwalkers

So what am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?

This is funny, no sooner than I ask, I manage to fix it...


I'm sure something, somewhere is laughing.




Problem solved!

 

[Whoareyou.]

Psst don't DP [Double Post] and how'd you fix it. I wanna know ;3

I don't know if you care or not, but your spell will bug if the unit is next to a destructible that is NOT a tree, because you do not distinguish between trees and other types of destructibles.

Riiight, Forgot that, thanks.

And sorry for double posting. >.<

              • If - Conditions
                • (Level of Forestwalk for (Picked unit)) Greater than or equal to 1
                • (Destructible-type of (Picked destructible)) Equal to Ashenvale Tree Wall
              • Then - Actions
                • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to Forestwalkers
                • Unit - Set the custom value of (Picked unit) to 3
              • Else - Actions
                • Do nothing
    • Set Forest = No destructible
    • Trigger - Run Forestwalk Effect &lt;gen&gt; (checking conditions)

And that's how I fixed it. It worked after I skipped the "forest" variable for some reason.

I'm sure you're happy with it as it is, but just FYI there is a way to detect ANY tree type, not just ashenvale, in case you ever want to use your spell with multiple tree types in a single map. I know this because I made a spell very similar to yours for my own project. In case you want to look at how I did it, you can find my spell here. (No I am not self-advertising )
