Got stuck in the middle of an ability...

Each and every time.

As for the tree life-bar issue, you could create real trees instead of unit's looking like trees. Then after a while you kill those trees and create units there.

 

[Kazuga]

Yes well I tried that in the beginning, though then the trees pathing size made the caster get moved outside...

 

[Larcenist]

Increase the offset a little, and see if it works better then.

 

[Kazuga]

Well another problem is that I can't get the trees to die when I use "for each integer", tried this but didn't work...:

Why do you need to use a variable instead of a value for your array? Wouldn't a value work just fine?

 

[Larcenist]

Make something like this:

For each integer 1 to UltimateNatureCounter do actions
Kill - UltimateNatureTree[Integer A]

 

[Kazuga]

Well I really suck at arrays, I barely know what they are and even less how to use them properly .

 

[Knight7770]

Make something like this:

For each integer 1 to UltimateNatureCounter do actions
Kill - UltimateNatureTree[Integer A]

That's very clever...how do you think of things like this?

Well I really suck at arrays, I barely know what they are and even less how to use them properly .

Well, arrays are pretty simple to figure out. Basically, a variable is like one square of information. If you make the variable an array, it can become a cube of information. What I mean by this is that when you just have a variable, you can only put one thing into it. But, if it's an array, it can hold multiple pieces of information as long as they're of the same type (integer arrays can't hold units, etc.) They're also useful for other things that I can't think of right now.

 

[Kazuga]

Still same problem, only one tree dies...

 

[Larcenist]

Are you using "For loop integer A" as array for the Tree variable?

 

[Knight7770]

Well, if the number of trees created is always the same, you could just make that many actions killing those trees:

Destructible - Kill UltimateNatureTree[1]
Destructible - Kill UltimateNatureTree[2]

And so on.

 

[Kazuga]

Are you using "For loop integer A" as array for the Tree variable?

Bold part should be Destructible - Kill UltimateNatureTree[Integer A]

Edit: Ain't you the fast one knight :3

Edit 2: The first one doesn't have to be Integer A, only the second one.

 

[Knight7770]

>Ain't you the fast one knight :3
Well, I try

If you're using Larcenist's method (which you should), you should make sure that the trees get set to the right variables when they're created.

>Edit 2: The first one doesn't have to be Integer A, only the second one.
The first one can be Integer A. It wouldn't hurt.

It's called "For loop Integer A".

Hehe... I try to be as efficient as possible without wasting time. You should be able to find Integer A, although it might appear as For Loop Integer A or something like that.:nuts:
