Damage random unit by an aura

[EoW.chips]

Hey,
i made an spell, based of an aura. The spell is like that: It damages a random enemy unit every 2.5 seconds in a range of 700.
I tried to trigger it but it kinda doesnt work.

Here is the trigger:

• Electric touch
  • Ereignisse
    • Zeit - Every 2.50 seconds of game time
  • Bedingungen
  • Aktionen
    • Spielergruppe - Pick every player in Humans and do (Actions)
      • Schleifen - Aktionen
        • Einheitengruppe - Pick every unit in (Units of type Lord of lightning) and do (Actions)
          • Schleifen - Aktionen
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • 'IF'-Bedingungen
                • ((Picked unit) has buff Electric touch ) Gleich True
              • 'THEN'-Aktionen
                • Set AmpereHuman = (Picked unit)
                • Set PositionAmpereElectricTouchHu = (Position of (Picked unit))
                • Einheitengruppe - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from (Units within 700.00 of PositionAmpereElectricTouchHu matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of Spieler 11 (Dunkelgrün)) Gleich True))) and do (Actions)
                  • Schleifen - Aktionen
                    • Set ElectricTouchHumansUnit = (Matching unit)
                    • Set ElecticTouchDamage = (50.00 x (Real((Level of Electric touch for AmpereHuman))))
                    • Spezialeffekt - Create a special effect at (Position of ElectricTouchHumansUnit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Monsoon\MonsoonBoltTarget.mdl
                    • Einheit - Cause AmpereHuman to damage ElectricTouchHumansUnit, dealing ElecticTouchDamage damage of attack type Zaubersprüche and damage type Blitz
              • 'ELSE'-Aktionen

Why would you damage a random unit?

The Auras in Diablo II never damaged random units, they damaged every unit in range.

I dunno if that's all of it, but with my new understanding of leaks, I say that trigger leaks.

 

[EoW.chips]

I don't play Diablo 2. I just want a random unit in the 700 aoe to get damaged. Otherwise to op.

 

[Zanderist]

Have you tried adding every unit within range of unit x to a unit group, then damaging random unit from that unit group yet?

 

[EoW.chips]

Hmm good idea, i will try it

 

[roaaaarrrr]

Probably just something like this....

• Untitled Trigger 003
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman (Tier Zero)
  • Actions
    • Set ElectricTouchArea = (Units within 700.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)))
    • Set ElecticTouchDamage = (50.00 x (Real((Level of Electric touch for AmpereHuman))))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in ElectricTouchArea and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Random unit from ElectricTouchArea) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - ElectricTouchDamage)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_ElectricTouchArea)

 

[Inflicted]

// Dont do this

Every 2.5 seconds of game time
-
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (units within 400 range of "unit") matching ((owner of matching unit is not allied to player) or (owner of matching unit is not equal to owner of "unit"))
: Deal 100 damage to picked unit


or something like that. sorry its not in GUI, im not at my computer.

note: mite also need a trigger to specify the unit.

@above
that would leak and it will damage all enemy units withing range
@EoW.chips
try something like this

• Events: every x seconds
  • Actions:
  • Set Group = (Units within 500.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True))
  • Set Unit = (Random unit from Group)
  • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage Unit, dealing 500.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Group)

this should do
Note change triggering unit to your unit with the skill (best way is probably to create a unit variable when your unit with that skill is created) (you can also add a condition if the unit learns the skill and does not have it at start)

 

[EoW.chips]

Now i tried this, but still doesnt work...

• Electric touch
  • Ereignisse
    • Zeit - Every 2.50 seconds of game time
  • Bedingungen
  • Aktionen
    • Set AmpereHuman = (Triggering unit)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • 'IF'-Bedingungen
        • ((Triggering unit) has buff Electric touch ) Gleich True
      • 'THEN'-Aktionen
        • Set Group_ElectricTouch = (Units within 700.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Gleich True))
        • Set RndUnit = (Random unit from Group_ElectricTouch)
        • Spezialeffekt - Create a special effect at (Position of RndUnit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Monsoon\MonsoonBoltTarget.mdl
        • Einheit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage RndUnit, dealing (50.00 x (Real((Level of Electric touch for (Triggering unit))))) damage of attack type Zaubersprüche and damage type Blitz
        • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Group_ElectricTouch)
      • 'ELSE'-Aktionen

Forgot to say that i set AmpereHuman at start

Tested that trigger? It works atleast.. And then you could you could change "

• Unit - Cause Unit to damage Unit, dealing 500.00//this is what you change damage of attack type Spells//changeable and damage type Normal//changeable

if you have every x seconds as event you can't have a triggering unit you should set the unit with the spell to your var when he gets the spell (though it wouldn't be MUI then you need to work with arrays and stuff not great with MUIness in gui)

Just wanted to show him..

 

[Whisky]

Is there some particular reason why you just don't use phoenix fire?

 

[Chaos_Knight]

Is there some particular reason why you just don't use phoenix fire?

I was ,seriously about to say it. Just change the model art to whatever you want and the damage. Woila!

 

[EoW.chips]

oh, thats great. Didnt think to that spell while i was editing. Thanks

 

[HeX.16]

Pheonix Fire is actually a great ability will many uses. Like locust swarm and give the locusts pheonix fire AWESOME FUN.

 

[Weyird]

I didnt read ur trigger fully but you could use the unit ability "Phoenix Fire". You can set how often it shoots out, and how much damage it does. It unfortunately doesnt have an icon on the unit so U'll just need to give it a dummy icon that does nothing, through triggers if you need to.

EDIT: Oops, only see this was mentioned already now.
