Help with an Ensnare Spell!

[Da_HP_Geek]

What shall I add and where in this trigger so the target units cant attack? Its an ensnare spell with AoE. I want to pause them all, but I can't really figure out how to remove the pause after, so this far I am sure, then pllz help me with the rest! The best would be if u edited the trigger so I can see exactly how to do, cause my triggering skills aren't the best...

Thx in advance!

does the dummy have ensnare spell?

Something like this shud work, havent tested, but i think:

• Incarcerous
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Incarcerous
  • Actions
    • Set Caster_Point = (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Set Target_Point = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Set UnitGroup = (Units within (100.00 x (Real((Level of Incarcerous for (Casting unit))))) of (Center of (Playable map area)) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Casting unit))) Equal to True))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 dummy for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at Caster_Point facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Add IncarcerousDummy to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Water Elemental expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Raider - Ensnare (Picked unit)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_UnitGroup)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Caster_Point)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Target_Point)

edit: forgot to set level of ability to level of Incarcerous, but do that right after the line "Unit - Add IncarcerousDummy to (Last created unit)"

Yup, you did jsut set the level of the skill not add the skill. The trigger is good.

    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Incarcerous
  • Actions
    • Set Caster_Point = (Position of (Triggering unit))

ok... thx

What if you just pause the targeted unit ?!

Edited the code a little:

Incarcerous
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Incarcerous 
    Actions
        Set Caster_Point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        Set Target_Point = (Target point of ability being cast)
        Custom script:   set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within (100.00 x (Real((Level of Incarcerous  for (Triggering unit))))) of Target_Point matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set Ensnare = (Picked unit)
                Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Caster_Point facing Default building facing degrees
                Unit - Set level of Dummy Ability  for (Last created unit) to (Level of Incarcerous  for (Triggering unit))
                Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Raider - Ensnare (Picked unit)
                Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
                Unit - Pause Ensnare
                Unit Group - Add Ensnare to Ensnare_Group
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation( udg_Caster_Point )
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation( udg_Target_Point )
        Wait (1.25 x (Real((Level of Incarcerous  for ([B]Target unit of ability being cast[/B]))))) seconds
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in Ensnare_Group and do (Unit - Unpause all units)
        [B]Unit Group - Remove all units from Ensnare_Group[/B]

Why 'target unit ability being cast'? And you should also clear the unit group, for future use. Also, why pause an ensnared unit? Is that necessary?

I think you still can attack when ensnared, but you cant when paused..
also, doesnt the wait thing, makes it non-mui?

 

[8uY_YoU]

Maybe to prevent unit from attacking, you must using an edited stun ability, change the buff into ensare buff, its easier and MUI

 

[free_killing]

I agree with 8uy_you
So here is the trigger (havent tested it, but its supposed to work)

• Incarcerous with stun
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Incarcerous
  • Actions
    • Set Target_Point = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Set UnitGroup = (Units within (100.00 x (Real((Level of Incarcerous for (Casting unit))))) of (Center of (Playable map area)) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Casting unit))) Equal to True))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • -------- create units --------
        • Set Caster_Point = (Position of (Casting unit))
        • Unit - Create 1 dummy for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at Caster_Point facing Default building facing degrees
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Caster_Point)
        • Set Ensnarer = (Last created unit)
        • Set Caster_Point = (Position of (Casting unit))
        • Unit - Create 1 dummy for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at Caster_Point facing Default building facing degrees
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Caster_Point)
        • Set Stunner = (Last created unit)
        • -------- ensnare --------
        • Unit - Add IncarcerousDummy to Ensnarer
        • Unit - Set level of IncarcerousDummy for Ensnarer to (Level of Incarcerous for (Casting unit))
        • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Water Elemental expiration timer to Ensnarer
        • Unit - Order Ensnarer to Orc Raider - Ensnare (Picked unit)
        • -------- stun --------
        • Unit - Add IncarcerousDummyStun to Stunner
        • Unit - Set level of IncarcerousDummyStun for Stunner to (Level of Incarcerous for (Casting unit))
        • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Water Elemental expiration timer to Stunner
        • Unit - Order Stunner to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Picked unit)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_UnitGroup)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Target_Point)
