Can I make a flame strike appear at a region?

[Dodighead147]

Hi, I need to make it so that like every four seconds a flame strike appears at a given region. Does anyone know how to do this??? Please help me if you do.

Thanks!

Something like this:

Flame Strikes for Everyone
    Events
        Time - Every 4.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set TempPoint = (Center of (Some Region))
        Unit - Create 1 SomeDummyUnit for Player 1 (Red) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
        Set TempPoint = (Center of (Some Region))
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Blood Mage - Flame Strike TempPoint
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

I can't find the

Set TempPoint = (Center of (Some Region))

. Sorry I'm not that great at WE...

 

[Ghan]

Well, you need to create a Point variable in the Variable Editor.
Then find the Set Variable action. Should be good from there....

Thanks, but now I can't find the:

Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Blood Mage - Flame Strike TempPoint

Sorry for being such a n00b.

Just order the dummy unit to cast Flame Strike at that region.

Look for the Unit - Issue Order Targeting A Point action.

 

[Knight7770]

Unit - Issue Order Targeting A Point

EDIT: Or targeting a unit

 

[Dodighead147]

K, I did everything (by the way thanks A LOT) but when I go there nothing happens. So... Close.... Must.... Complete....

 

[Ghan]

Well, upload your map.
Or at least paste your trigger here.

Hi, Thanks, heres my Trigger:

Flamestrike Region
    Events
        Time - Every 4.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Blood Mage - Flame Strike TempPoint
        Set TempPoint = (Center of Region 004 <gen>)
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
        Unit - Create 1 Blood Mage for Player 1 (Red) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
        Set TempPoint = (Center of Region 004 <gen>)

*UPDATE* Ok, cool. The thing now is that unlimited Blood Mages keep coming! Also they are controlled by me. I want a fire strike to appear on that spot every four seconds...

 

[Ghan]

Well, you need some dummy unit that isn't controlled by you....

 

[Dodighead147]

Do you do that by making a Neutral Hostile? Im going to try that right now...

*UPDATE* Ok... Now hostile Blood Magi stack... I don't see any flame strikes happening....

 

[Ghan]

Perhaps you should seek out some tutorials on making trigger enhanced spells to learn about the concept of dummy casters.

 

[Dodighead147]

Fine... I hate tuts....

btw pointed out stuff is switched if you switch those around it should work and you need to change blood mage's model to none if you are gonna use it

Flamestrike Region
Events
Time - Every 4.00 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
--> Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Blood Mage - Flame Strike TempPoint
Set TempPoint = (Center of Region 004 <gen>)
