Complex custom spell problem (triggers)...

[Nikolae]

Ok guys, I'm making this trigger-based heal over time spell, but I had to work it out to use two triggers. It will work for a couple casts, but then it just stops working... Help!

Trigger 1 sets the variables used in Trigger 2.

Renew Init
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Renew 
    Actions
        If (RenewKey Equal to 50) then do (Set RenewKey = 0) else do (Do nothing)
        Set RenewKey = (RenewKey + 1)
        Set RenewActive[RenewKey] = True
        Set RenewTarget[RenewKey] = (Target unit of ability being cast)
        Set RenewTick[RenewKey] = 0
        Set SpellLVL = (Level of (Ability being cast) for (Casting unit))
        Set SpellReal = ((Real((Intelligence of (Casting unit) (Include bonuses)))) x (Real(SpellLVL)))
        Trigger - Run Spell Crit <gen> (checking conditions)
        Set SpellReal = (SpellReal / 15.00)
        Set RenewHealValue[RenewKey] = (Integer(SpellReal))

Trigger 2 runs the heal effect for all current instances of 'Renew' running.

Renew Action
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 50, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        RenewActive[(Integer A)] Equal to False
                    Then - Actions
                        Skip remaining actions
                    Else - Actions
                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            If - Conditions
                                RenewTick[(Integer A)] Greater than or equal to 15
                            Then - Actions
                                Set RenewActive[(Integer A)] = False
                            Else - Actions
                                Unit - Set life of RenewTarget[(Integer A)] to ((Life of RenewTarget[(Integer A)]) + (Real(RenewHealValue[(Integer A)])))
                                Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String(RenewHealValue[(Integer A)])) above RenewTarget[(Integer A)] with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (0.00%, 100.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency
                                Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.00
                                Floating Text - Change the fadepoint of (Last created floating text) to 0.50
                                Floating Text - Change permanent state of (Last created floating text) to Disable
                                Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees
                                Set RenewTick[(Integer A)] = (RenewTick[(Integer A)] + 1)

Try using this and add the extra stuff u want to it...

Using Renew
Event: Unit begins casting an ability
Conds: Ability being cast = renew
Acts: -Set (unittoheal) = target unit of ability being cast
-set userenew = true
-wait .1 second
-Turn on trigger Heal

Heal
Events: Every .1 seconds
Conds: *unittoheal = structure = false
*userenew = true
Acts: -set unittoheal life = unittoheal life + 1
-wait til unittoheal life = max unittoheal life
-turn off this trigger
-set userenew = false
-set unittoheal = no unit

Simple trigger not needing nearly have the stuff u have...
All u need are 2 vars Unittoheal (unit), and userenew (boolean)

Yeah, that helps a little bit, but the design of that spell needs to be maintained. I just need it to work correctly! lol

If it weren't for the floating text, I'd recommend "Rejuvenation".

> the design of that spell needs to be maintained.

And that "design" would be?


What is "Spell Crit <gen>" doing?

 

[Darthfett]

You may want to change in the Integer A 50 to number of units in playable map area matchning (matching unit has buff (rejuvenation))

 

[Nikolae]

The only problem with using the 'check for rejuvenation' idea, is that the amount rejuvenated is potentially different for each target, as the amount healed is based on the caster's agility.

Design:
The spell is supposed to heal a target over time, but the amount healed is determined on the intelligence of the casting hero. Floating text is created every time there is a heal 'tick' over the healing unit(s).
SpellCritical is just a little script that runs each time the spell is cast, with a chance of increasing the SpellReal variable by 1.5. This is not the issues as it is used in various spells.

Thanks for the help so far guys, keep it coming!
