Critter Explode Effect/Player Group Help

[Johnyyy]

Hey, this is a hard one...
As most more experienced players know, if you keep clicking on any critter, it will eventually explode making a cool effect, now I want to have that effect on my Tauren, what values do you need to change to make a tauren explode like any critter?

Also I need to make a player group variable of all the players that are currently playing in the game, how would I do that...
e.g: Set Variable PlayersPlaying = All players matching (player slot equal to is playing) or someting like that w/e...

thanks..

To make the explosion effect or make it work after a bunch of clicks? To make the effect, you need to explode the unit and play the Mortar Team art at the place where he was.

You've got it.

If you want to excess the players on their own later make that variable an array 1-<however many plays CAN play> and set each one to a array slot indivadualy


Does that work in Warcraft3? I havnt tried though i know it does that in Starcraft

Um the explosion also has the earth shake, and extra blood effects, also how would you make the "bunch of clicks" and then what if the tauren spawns somewhere not is already on the map...

the player trigger doesnt work like that, I was just giving an example..the way I gave the example, wont work because the All players part can only be 1 player (red) and then you have to do them all...umm kinda hard to explain just check your editor and give me the exact action

Camera shaking or terrain deformation...

...and extra blood effects...

If you display a unit's "special art" using triggers, you get more blood.
