help?

[laxperson808]

So I'm making a spell and everything works 100% fine except the spell doesnt actully work is the dummy units have locust. The action for the trigger is

• Trigger - Add to fs <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 75.00 of target)

and i guess a unit with locust doesnt count as a unit? any help for fixing?

 

[laxperson808]

actully i remeber if i use

• Unit - Unit enters region (region name)

it works fine... help plz??

Because as I know, some function don't count the units with locust, and don't fires if a unit with the locust abil does it. Maybe you could add the enter region (rect) event to the trigger "fs" to make your spell.

yea but that would mean moving the region around.. + if the unit moves itd be wierd having him take damage without being there.... wait im a retard.. nvm..

 

[laxperson808]

ok.. now its being reallllly stupid... for some reason if the region STARTS on the target it works fine no glitches.. but becuase in a real game the target could be anywhere the region has to move.. and when i move the region to the target the dummy units dont trigger the trigger..

 

[luorax]

Yeah, I have problems with the region moves too... Could you post the triggers?

When i have cinamatic - ping postion of region X it pings the postion of the unit... but..

Hmm, and what does this spell have to do? Because maybe we can make it without using rects

 

[laxperson808]

basicly.. it summons a spiral of energy circles it around hero (looks cool and i was bored) then sends them into the enemy doing damageXnumber of hits

 

[luorax]

You forgot the "Cast" trigger, so I didn't know it exactly

Hm, okay. Maybe we can do something with the "Unit comes within XYZ."

 

[laxperson808]

ugh.. the cast basicly says
a unit casts and ability
ability being cast = name
For loop int 1-60
set tempoint = postion of caster with offset d1 and distance d2
create 1 lighting at temp point
set d1=d1+X
setd2=d2+y
wait 1 second
set loopcheckbool=true

then the swirly thing is just annoying 2 rerite... and ive tried all sorts of fixes with XYZ.. nada..
