i use trigger to create a skill that when the caster cast the spell, it will:

-create 5 dummy caster with 0.5sec wait in btween
-5 dummy caster will attack random point 1 time each
-5 dummy caster will be expire in 0.5sec
-dummy attack combat animation is 0

to save space, i only copy 1 action since the other 4 is repeating.

Code: 
Flaming Arrow Cast
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Flaming Arrow (Forked Lighning)
    Actions
        Set FlamingArrow_targetunit[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Target unit of ability being cast)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Hero_unit[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] is alive) Equal to True
            Then - Actions
                Set FlamingArrow_heropoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Cancelled structure)))] = (Position of Hero_unit[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))])
                Set FlamingArrow_targetunitpoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Position of FlamingArrow_targetunit[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))])
                Set FlamingArrow_realpoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Random real number between 0.00 and 200.00)
                Set FlamingArrow_realdegree[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Random angle)
                Set FlamingArrow_casterpoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (FlamingArrow_heropoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] offset by FlamingArrow_realpoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] towards FlamingArrow_realdegree[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] degrees)
                Set FlamingArrow_RealH[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Random real number between 100.00 and 300.00)
                Set FlamingArrow_targetRealpoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Random real number between 0.00 and 350.00)
                Set FlamingArrow_targetRealdegree[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Random angle)
                Set FlamingArrow_targetpoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (FlamingArrow_targetunitpoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] offset by FlamingArrow_targetRealpoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] towards FlamingArrow_targetRealdegree[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] degrees)
                Unit - Create 1 Flaming Arrow Caster for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at FlamingArrow_casterpoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] facing (Facing of Hero_unit[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))]) degrees
                Unit - Add Crow Form to (Last created unit)
                Unit - Remove Crow Form from (Last created unit)
                Animation - Change (Last created unit) flying height to FlamingArrow_RealH[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] at 90000000.00
                Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack Ground FlamingArrow_targetpoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))]
                Unit - Add a 0.50 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_FlamingArrow_heropoint[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetSpellAbilityUnit()))])
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_FlamingArrow_targetunitpoint[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetSpellAbilityUnit()))])
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_FlamingArrow_casterpoint[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetSpellAbilityUnit()))])
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_FlamingArrow_targetpoint[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetSpellAbilityUnit()))])
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing
        Wait 0.50 seconds
        Set FlamingArrow_targetunit[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = No unit


Now the problem is this skill will went off in the middle if the unit cast another spell while this trigger still going.

Is there anyway to kept the trigger to go on? preferly not jass

Well if you have waits its near-impossible making it MUI, if you'd know jass it would be much easier..

There are a tutorial and a system about making MUI in GUI.
Try reading them up.


From the codes, you seem to have made it MPI,
just need some changes and it will be enough:

Change:
"(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))"
to
"Custom value of (Triggering unit)"

Add a few lines of code for setting the "Custom Value" of each unit and you have it done. :D
(Casting Unit) << not good, use (Triggering Unit), it survives even after a wait.

very long,


actually the problem is, the trigger will off when other trigger ability turn on, for example,

if you cast this skill, before all the five flaming arrow shoot out, you cast another skill, then the flaming arrow caster will not spawn any more

basically this skill can be cast by all 12 player in same time

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    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.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    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

    I think I need to split the Sci/Tech news forum into 2 one for Science and one for Tech but I am hating all the moving of posts I would have to do

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
