I'm making an ability called Snare Trap. Snare Traps are wards, where if a unit comes within 250 degrees of them, every unit within 400 degrees of the Snare Trap becomes ensnared.
I've tried this before. And by degrees, I mean distance. I have know idea how you measure distance in wc3, so I figured degrees worked.
Anyways, The problem I'm having, is that I want a dummy to cast ensnare on each unit within 400 degrees of the Snare Trap once the Snare Trap is detonated.
Have you tried giving the dummy an auto-cast ensnare based upon the crypt fiend's web that can target ground units? The only problem with that one I might think of would be getting the trap to break in the process.
Create a trap that does nothing.
When the snare trap spell is cast, create the trap and add it to a unit group.
Periodically check all the units within 250 of the snare trap. If there are more than 0 units, destroy the snare trap remove it from the group, pick every unit within 400 and create dummy casters to cast ensnare on them all.
I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
