This is my blinkstrike command but the problem is that i the damage is not made? my spell only work like a unit target blink but it doesnt seem to work? it does teleport but no damage? how could i fix it?

You wrote

• Set TempLoc = (Target point of ability being cast)

"Target POINT of ability being cast" should be "unit" I believe

and then you wrote

• ...and (((Target unit of ability being cast) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering Unit))) Equal to True)

So basically, you have to change the variable to UNIT

 

[Nenad]

Well, since you don't need the hero damage or anything i.e you have prefixed damage, base the spell off of finger of death with your damage, and then just move the unit behind the target and play the attack animation ^^

 

[Aqkastik]

what ya mean nenad? xD should instead of trigger damage the spell do the damage or what?

 

[vypur85]

In the condition, you use 'Blink Strike'. But in the damage calculation, you use 'Blink (Neutral)'. This should still give 50 damage at most, but still... something seems not right.

Also, your else actions indicate that if the unit 'doesn't have Blink Strike' and 'is not an enemy'. Since no damage is done, I would assume the else action occurs. Meaning the triggering unit does not have Blink Strike and your targeted unit is an ally. Otherwise, I have no idea why no damage is dealt. The trigger seems fine to deal damage. It could be something else that we can't see but only you can...

Nenad means use the Finger of Death to dealt damage on it, and just trigger your hero to blink.

Still wont work... its like it teleport before it damage... well just gonna try a thing (; im gonna make it damage first then make it wait like 0.01 second and then teleport xD might wor

EDIT: now it just works other way around xD CMON

this is my blink strike in my map

It also teleport all illusion to the target enemy (because the hero which use this USE illusion ), you can remove that unit group which move illusion and the variable

 

[Aqkastik]

Thanks a lot (; Very helpfull (; gonna make a try in a sec when im done - gonna edit if it works (;

EDIT: Im still new at Variable - BlinkStrike_Angle what type is that? cant make it work as a point (; need help
EDIT: again xD I mean what variable type? like Point, Unit? xD im freaking lost xD

 

[Laiev]

it work

just a add... my base ability is based on chain lightning

if you wanna damage target first, you can do it in base ability then wait a little bit seconds and teleport

just a suggestion

 

[Ayanami]

Is it necessary to store the units in a variable? Why not just triggering unit and target unit of ability being cast?

 

[Laiev]

just because i use then in other trigger

but don't need :X

 

[millz-]

Sadly, the truth is yes. I faced this problem before as well, and I thought the damage unit function wasn't functioning in my map. But the fact is the damage function doesn't work if you use triggering unit or target unit of ability, not even in JASS. I had to store the corresponding units in different variables, then deal the damage using the variables to make it work.

Nope, that's a false. I use triggering unit and target unit of ability being cast. And it works fine.

It's probably Center of the map. Don't allow self targeting of the spell.

 

[avalya]

Instead of using multiple variables for the points and units, use arrays.

BlinkStrikeUnit[1] = (Triggering Unit)
BlinkStrikeUnit[2] = (Target Unit of Ability Being Cast)
BlinkStrikePoint[1] = (Position of BlinkStrikeUnit[2])
BlinkStrikeAngle = Facing of (BlinkStrikeUnit[2]) + (180))
BlinkStrikePoint[2] = (BlinkStrikePoint[1] offset by 90.00 towards BlinkStrikeAngle degrees)

(You don't need the position of the caster at all)

Have an If, Then, Else with ally instead of enemy as the first one, and remove the attack action, '(BlinkStrikeUnit[2] belongs to an ally of (Owner of BlinkStrikeUnit[1]) equal to true'

 

[Aqkastik]

Well i still go with Laievs way (; i got it to work now and not to be ungrateful so thanks for all the suggestions - but now it work so i wont even touch the trigger with a stick
