Ok so i have a custom spell moulded off black arrow, so when a unit dies (by Flame Arrow) it creats a small flame strike controlled by triggers other then spell data. in saying this im having trouble geting it to trigger it properly this is the trigger here:

Trigger:
  • FA 1
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Dies
    • Conditions
      • (Level of Flame Arrow for (Killing unit)) Equal to 1
      • ((Dying unit) has buff Flame Arrow ) Equal to True
    • Actions
      • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Dying unit))
      • Set Tempgroup = (Units within 75.00 of TempPoint matching ((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to Neutral Hostile))
      • Special Effect - Create a special effect at TempPoint using Abilities\Spells\Human\FlameStrike\FlameStrike1.mdl
      • Wait 0.67 seconds
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Tempgroup and do (Unit - Cause (Killing unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 40.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Fire)
      • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
      • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Tempgroup)
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)



When i have the condition ((Dying unit) has buff Flame Arrow ) Equal to True it will not trigger and when i remove it it will trigger but then send the effect around all the units? help.

when a unit dies it no longer has any buffs, thats why, you should add the units with the buff to a group when they recieve it, then remove them 0.01 seconds after they die (0.1 seconds so that the death trigger still fires) and remove them if they lose the buff, then have the boolean condition: Unit is Group Your group is equal to true

You can also detect when a unit is about to die by using an ability based on Spawn Hydra. It will fire when the unit is killed (even if it has a reincarnation ability), but before the buffs are removed.

Of course, since you want to spawn a unit when another unit is killed, you could just add a custom Spawn Hydra ability when the unit gets attacked, then remove it after a time.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess

    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
