Effects That Hit Units or Ground?

I have a number of effects that do damage to enemies when I use this action in the trigger editor:

Environment - Execute <My Effect> on <Target> from player <Player>

This works fine. But when I do this:

Environment - Execute <My Effect> at (Point((X of <Target Point>), (Y of <Target Point>), (Height of <Target Point>))) from (Picked unit)

it doesn't. It's the same effect, but when I place it at a point instead of on a unit, it seems to deal no damage. I've set maximum count to -1 and given the effects 360 arcs, with radius' and whatnot. The weird thing is that when I use the first action, it does AoE damage and hurts a massive area, but on the point it just seems to do nothing.

So, what values do I need to change for this to work on the ground?

I found the value you mentioned...somehow it was set to only Target Points instead of Units, which makes this whole thing even more bizarre...

I switched it to Point/Unit but I still have the same problem. The effect can be placed right beside the enemy and nothing happens.

    It would suck to spend 400$ on a system that doesn't have the capability you need
  • jonas jonas:
    and it will probably take a couple of tries to get the settings right
  • Varine Varine:
    It would but I can also just make sure I can return them. The system I have works, it's pretty straightforward and I tested it with a camera I have. All it really is is a little cartridge that holds the transparency film and a white light source behind it that projects the image into the lens

    I'll have to fuck with the light a bit and try some different lighting methods to get color accuracy, but I have IT8 targets for that

    get that color accuracy :)
  • Varine Varine:
    They're really helpful for calibrating things because I'm really colorblind, so I'm not great at doing it by eye

    Well the long, slow slog of winter has officially begun here
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a bunch of community service I have to do, and I have a feeling there will be a lot of snow shoveling involved now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    don't know why people choose to live in that kind of weather :)
  • Varine Varine:
    Well
  • Varine Varine:
    My job is here
  • Varine Varine:
    I was born here man I didn't choose shit
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, I keep moving away and it doesn't get any better. I moved to San Antonio and shit froze there AND we had blackouts

    I'm back, suffering from severe jet lag.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Cold is following your ass around Varine - I just dont think I could handle a snowy winter.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Welcome Back Tom!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I hear that taking a Melatonin around your normal bedtime can really fix jet lag
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Yeah, I also heard about that as well. I think I'm good. I'm just lucky it's the weekend so I have some time to readjust.

    It was a fucking blizzard today, shoveling was an effort in futility.
  • Varine Varine:
    Melatonin gives me nightmares
  • Varine Varine:
    They had me shoveling out the parking lot for the jail. Fucking pointless, they need a blow.
  • Varine Varine:
    Well they gave me a snow blower but it was too wet to do much with with other than compact everything. Oh well, the cop cars can get into there now when they arrest people I guess
