Distance Based Skill

[Kangaxx]

Another plea for help, i want my hero to get his aura disabled if he hasn't moved at least 20 range in the last 1 second and every 500 units travelled to emit a thunderclap, the thunderclap should also make enemies miss. Though something is wrong, here are my triggers:

try this?

    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set P_DummyMove = (Position of yourdummy)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
      • (Distance between Position_of_yourcaster and (Position_of_P_DummyMove)) Greater than or equal to 21.00
      • Then - Actions

How can a point variable be an unit variable?

 

[canons200]

set unit variable then set a point in that unit variable, i usually do that

 

[Kangaxx]

Example please. I'm a newbie at World Editor (though i can code some stuff).

 

[HydraRancher]

• Unstable Ground Stomp
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • Distance_Travelled Greater than or equal to 500.00
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Unstable Ground Clap to Dummy
    • Unit - Set level of Unstable Ground Clap for Dummy to 4
    • Unit - Order Dummy to Human Mountain King - Thunder Clap
    • Unit - Order Dummy to Follow (Triggering unit)

1.Theres no triggering Unit

2.Your ordering him to thunder clap then immediately follow.

 

[Kangaxx]

That's not really the problem, though thanks for pointing the clap out. The skill either gets permanentely disabled OR is on all the time.
EDIT: Distance travelled never reaches 500 .

 

[Moridin]

First trigger -

• Set Owner_of_Unit = (Owner of Caster)

Shouldn't that be Triggering unit? I don't think it would register the Triggering unit as the Casting unit.

--

Also I realise that except for Trigger 2, you don't ever alter the variable Distance Travelled.
So what's going to happen is:
-Unit gets the ability
-Trigger is switched on
-"(Distance between Position_of_Shike and (Position_of_Shike offset by Distance_Travelled towards (Facing of Trig_Unit) degrees)) Greater than or equal to 21.00" = Distance between point A and point A offset by Distance travelled (which is set to 0 in the beginning) which is NOT GREATER than 21 = NOT TRUE
-Goes to else.
-Does nothing.

I can't see the distance travelled ever increasing.
Edit: I really think that's your problem there.

 

[Kangaxx]

So, how should i fix it?

 

[Moridin]

Try this. Edit the second trigger to be something like:

Event: Every 0.01 seconds.
Condition:
Action: Set Distance_Travelled = Distance_Travelled + (Distance between Position_of_Shike and Position of Trig_unit)

That might work.

 

[Kangaxx]

Okay, it's working now, but the dummy is clapping the earth like every 0.1 second. Um, i guess i need to reset the distance travelled to 0?

 

[Moridin]

Yeah you would have to do that every second.

 

[Kangaxx]

Still clapping every 0.1 .

• Unstable Ground Distance
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Distance_Travelled = (Distance_Travelled + (Distance between Position_of_Shike and (Position of Trig_Unit)))
    • Set Dummy_Loc = (Position of Dummy)

• Unstable Ground Stomp
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • Distance_Travelled Greater than or equal to 500.00
  • Actions
    • Set Distance_Travelled = 0.00
    • Unit - Add Unstable Ground Clap to Dummy
    • Unit - Set level of Unstable Ground Clap for Dummy to (Level of Unstable Ground for Trig_Unit)
    • Unit - Order Dummy to Human Mountain King - Thunder Clap
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Unit - Order Dummy to Follow Trig_Unit

^ Edited triggers. It should also stop clapping when i'm not moving.
My aura gets instantly removed. Another fix needed.

 

[Moridin]

Ok. You made a simple mistake.

Edit 2: For the above trigger (the one with the Order Dummy to Human Mountain King - Thunder Clap in it) set the Periodic Event to Every 1.0 second NOT GAME TIME.
Edit: Delete the Distance_travelled = 0 line in the trigger you've posted above.

Add this line:

• Set Distance_Travelled = 0.00

to this trigger:

• * Unstable Ground Moving
  • o Events
    • + Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • o Conditions
  • o Actions
    • + If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • # If - Conditions
        • * (Distance between Position_of_Shike and (Position of Trig_Unit)) Greater than or equal to 20.00
      • # Then - Actions
        • * Unit - Add Unstable Ground Unit to Dummy
        • * Unit - Set level of Unstable Ground Unit for Dummy to (Level of Unstable Ground for Trig_Unit)
      • # Else - Actions
        • * Player - Disable Unstable Ground for Owner_of_Unit
        • * Unit - Remove Unstable Ground Unit from Dummy

...BEFORE THE IF CONDITION. It should be something like this now:

• * Unstable Ground Moving
  • o Events
    • + Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • o Conditions
  • o Actions
    • + Set Distance_Travelled = 0.00
    • + If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • # If - Conditions
        • * (Distance between Position_of_Shike and (Position of Trig_Unit)) Greater than or equal to 20.00
      • # Then - Actions
        • * Unit - Add Unstable Ground Unit to Dummy
        • * Unit - Set level of Unstable Ground Unit for Dummy to (Level of Unstable Ground for Trig_Unit)
      • # Else - Actions
        • * Player - Disable Unstable Ground for Owner_of_Unit
        • * Unit - Remove Unstable Ground Unit from Dummy

The dummy is still clapping like a madman (with 1 hand!) and if my skill gets removed, it never returns .
EDIT: Now the skill is disabled untill i move from my initial (starting) spot.

 

[canons200]

in your case, mind you re-edit your first post and give out more information? because i don't know what you want to do with your skill and your ability.

i can give you full trigger provided i know what you really want
EDIT
this is not offence because sometime we use this method to set trigger but then another person use another method, and have a hard time to get to know how it work and yet return the same outcome with those different trigger

 

[Moridin]

Yeah I made a mistake. Give me a minute. I need to finish somthing and then I'll help you solve your problem. I think your solution is an easy one though...no worries.

Edited my first post, changed the triggers to new ones.

No offense taken.

no, what i meant is that just tell us what you want your spell to do, how your spell look like, and what effect you want to have in your spell.

no need to show me your trigger, because i will make a trigger and post it here

 

[Kangaxx]

Lvl 1: -5% MS for enemies/+3% MS for Hero. Every 500 units travelled he stomps the ground for 30 Dmg in 300 AoE, causing the enemys to miss for 8% for 3 secs.
Lvl 2: -8% MS for enemies/ +5% MS for Hero. 500 units travelled he stomps the ground for 45 Dmg in 325 AoE, causing the enemys to miss for 12% for 3 secs.
Lvl 3: -11% MS for enemies/ +7% MS for Hero. 500 units travelled he stomps the ground for 60 Dmg in 350 AoE, causing the enemys to miss for 16% for 3 secs.
Lvl 4: -14% MS for enemies/+9% MS for Hero. 500 units travelled he stomps the ground for 75 Dmg in 375 AoE, causing the enemys to miss for 20% for 3 secs.

Note: this Aura do only occur while Hero is Moving/Attacking/Casting spells. If he stands still/is stunned/hexed for 1sec the ground whil stop vibrating. If he starts again the Aura will occur after 1 seconds.
