Hero Spell Help!

[Suigestu]

Status: NOT RESOLVED

I need help with a spell, i need the targeted unit to get pushed back over a time interval *like 2 seconds* 500 distance. Im having trouble cause its moving immidiently.
my 2 triggers didnt work they got teleported either right next to the hero, or somewhere random in a 300 aoe.
Cyclone 1=Position of the ability being cast
Cyclone 2=Position of unit being cast + (1,0)
Cyclone 3=Target unit
Cyclone 4=Integer value

    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set Cyclone3 = (Target unit of ability being cast)
        Set Cyclone1 = (Position of Cyclone3)
        Trigger - Turn on Knockback <gen>

and

Knockback

        Time - Every 0.02 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Move Cyclone3 instantly to Cyclone2
        Set Cyclone4 = (Cyclone4 + 1)
        If (Cyclone4 Equal to 500) then do (Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)) else do (Do nothing)

Where did you set the variable cyclone2? Remember you shouldn't set it as the default value in the variable editor because its likely not to work.

Shouldnt you set it every 0.02 seconds in the knockback trigger?

the default value is 0, its still not working

>Shouldn't you set it every 0.02 seconds in the knockback trigger?

isnt it already set?

 

[waaaks!]

u need to move the unit in a polar offset to make it move like knockback...

 

[Suigestu]

ill change it right now

 

[waaaks!]

sorry i mean polar offset....
and where did u set the variable cyclone 2?

        Set Cyclone4 = (Cyclone4 + 1)
        If (Cyclone4 Equal to 500) then do (Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)) else do (Do nothing)

only works once, even if it does its still glitchy


>and where did u set the variable cyclone 2?
I set it here

Set Cyclone2 = (Cyclone1 offset by 500.00 towards (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees)

 

[waaaks!]

works once? maybe this bugs...because every 0.02 seconds...you move the unit with a polar offset of "500" and only stops the trigger after 500 times of moving the unit?

that means
the unit will move 250000 away from ur unit....try changing this

Set Cyclone2 = (Cyclone1 offset by [B]500.00[/B] towards (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees)

to this

Set Cyclone2 = (Cyclone1 offset by [B]10.00[/B] towards (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees)

 

[Suigestu]

still doesnt work

       [B] Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time[/B]

    Actions
        Set Cyclone2 = (Cyclone1 offset by [B]1.00[/B] towards (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees)
        Unit - Move Cyclone3 instantly to Cyclone2
        Set Cyclone4 = (Cyclone4 + 1)
        If (Cyclone4 Equal to [B]300[/B]) then do (Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)) else do (Do nothing)

 

[cleeezzz]

set Cyclone2 = (Cyclone1 offset by 1.00 towards (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees)

are you sure that pushes back? seems like it goes forward.

i think you should use .03 seconds, from what i saw on this forum, .03 seconds is faster than your eye.

explain what doesn't work. like what happens when you test it.

>Move Cyclone3 instantly to Cyclone2 - the unit is instantly moving.
>What you could do it make it move TOWARDS Cyclone2 over periods of 50 offset unit 500 distance. In this case it will "Slide" 10 times until it gets there...

...i didn't look at the posts above...

faeafea
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True

what's this? it triggers whenever any hero uses an ability?
i think the target of ability is not recognized in the trigger.

    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Cyclone2 = (Cyclone1 offset by 1.00 towards (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees)
        Unit - Move Cyclone3 instantly to Cyclone2
        Set Cyclone4 = (Cyclone4 + 1)
        If (Cyclone4 Equal to 300) then do (Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)) else do (Do nothing)

cyclone1 is only declared once, meaning the unit only moves to one point.
declare cyclone1 in the periodic knockback trigger.

create a real type variable and use it to determine the angle from caster to target, it would be more efficient.

and oh, the code leaks extremely.

See bowling bash. It should help you a lot.
