Hey guys! I'm new here same to triggers too XD. Does anyone know how to make the Haunting Wave ability from Heroes of the Storm through triggers? Please use GUI, I can't understand JASS. I've been trying to remake it many times but it always give me errors.

Would be helpful if you told us first what that is and what it does.

Oops sorry about that XD. It is an ability that summons three banshees that moves straight line in front of the caster, damaging enemies that the banshees passes through (damage is:+???% each level), if it reached the maximum distance (which + distance every level) the banshees will be gone of course and then the caster will be teleported instantly to the banshees' location. I guess what I want is a bit of different from hots version.

Sounds rather simple. The banshees can be units which are created with a trigger. Their movement is a periodic trigger which moves them forward with the "move unit" action.
Damage can either be done with a trigger for finer control, or via the Immolation ability (think Demon Hunter) for better performance.
To check the travel distance give the banshees a timed life but make them otherwise invulnerable. If they die you know their timed life has run out and you can teleport the caster to their position.
If the ability needs to be cast by arbitrary units, even several of them owned by the same player at the same time, you may use rally-points for the banshees to store the original caster.

I already tried that sir but when their time expires, they just stand there repeatedly acting their death animation, or sometimes, they became a controllable unit.

I dont know what you did, but believe me that it would work if you did it right.
You may try to post your triggers here. Perhaps we can tell you what the problem is.

Edit: Here, I made a small test map to show you one way to do it.

Thank you for showing me the lead sir XD! But can I still fix the banshee's pauses?
Sorry I'm still new to triggers because last time I tried editing a trigger, it was a disaster hehe.
This is the video of the ability:
It's in 0:05 sir.
And am I allowed giving +reps or the moderators are the only ones who can?

How fluid the animation is depends on how long the wait in the "Channel-Update" trigger is. Turn the time down and the movement will become more fluid. I am sure you will be able to play with the triggers to tweak them the way you want them to be.
Take special notes on the abilities the Banshee has in the Unit Editor. The Locust, Rally, Ghost (visible) and Invulnerability abilities are very important to how the triggers work.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
