Detecting Immolation

[Azrooh]

If I have a dummy projectile unit with immolation, how would I detect when it damages a unit with its immolation so I can remove it?
Also, is there way to do pathability checks in GUI?

 

[cleeezzz]

boolean condition, terrain pathability?

and use GDD or a unit takes damage event, if the damager = projectile, then you know the rest

I only have 'A unit takes damage' for specific unit events. I'm using JASS Newgen Pack.

Okay, I have the terrain pathability thing.

• Testing
  • Events
    • Unit - Peasant 0012 <gen> Takes damage <-- No takes damage for generic unit event.
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Damage source)) Equal to Spear
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove (Damage source) from the game
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Triggering unit) using Objects\Spawnmodels\Human\HumanBlood\HumanBloodPeasant.mdl

• Testing2
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in SpearGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions

          • If - Conditions
            • (Terrain pathing at (Position of (Picked unit)) of type Walkability is off) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
          • Else - Actions
            • Animation - Change (Picked unit) flying height to ((Current flying height of (Picked unit)) - 1.00) at 0.10

How much would that trigger lag, assuming I'm not setting 'speargroup' every time, but continually updating it every time a spear is thrown/destroyed?

you might want to clean position leak, but it wont lag at all (maybe after a long time it will)

I only have 'A unit takes damage' for specific unit events. I'm using JASS Newgen Pack.

Either (1) Create a trigger with the event A Unit Enters Playable Map Area and Action = Trigger - Add Event "Triggering Unit" Takes damage. you will also need to create another trigger that has an event of Map Initialization, Pick all units on the map and do Trigger - Add Event "Picked Unit" takes damage.

or.. (2) Get Weep's GDD system, you can search it

What position leak?

• Testing
  • Events
    • Game - GDD_Event becomes Equal to 0.00
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of GDD_DamageSource) Equal to Spear
    • (Unit-type of GDD_DamagedUnit) Equal to Survivor
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove GDD_DamageSource from the game
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of GDD_DamagedUnit using Objects\Spawnmodels\Human\HumanBlood\HumanBloodPeasant.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

This trigger works perfectly. But would this trigger work? Without creating the full system that implements it it'd be difficult for me to test, and I'm not sure if 'picked unit' would carry through all this or if the crow form would cause significant lag.

E:

Okay, I tested it, and it didn't lag. I edited it to fix some problems, and I can't get it to edit the height. It'll work wonderfully... If I can get it to change the height. What's my problem here?

Also, is there a way to take the flames off targets of permanent immolation? There's no attatchment and I took off the buff. A new ability that does the same thing would be fine as well.

What position leak?

Position of (Picked Unit)

uhh, i think if you keep the buff, but go to the buff editor and edit the attachment model, you can get rid of it
