Hex random units within the hero?

[nabbig2]

How would I make it so that upon using an ability, (I can do that), a dummy hexes a random unit near the hero, and repeats this 2 more times? Thanks.

event-unit starts effect of ability
condition-ability is blah
action-pick units in ??? range of caster and put them in temporary unitgroup
loop 3 times
pick random unit in unitgroup and do,
create dummy unit for picked
give hex to dummy
order dummy hex picked

The above "trigger" would work except that it has a chance to pick the unit that just got Hexxed.
Right after you "pick units in range", put in "Remove <TARGET> from <UNITGROUP>".
And also after "Order dummy to Hex picked unit", put "Remove Picked unit from <UNITGROUP>".

Thanks guys, now I have this, but it won't work. What do I change?
Also, I can't find out how to pick random units in a unit group, I can't find the option.

hexsuper
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to HEXX 
    Actions
        Set HexMultipleCastingUnit = (Casting unit)
        Set HexGroup = (Units within 512.00 of (Position of HexMultipleCastingUnit) matching ((((Triggering unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of HexMultipleCastingUnit)) Equal to True) and (((Triggering unit) is alive) Equal to True)))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in HexGroup and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Create 1 Dummy hex multiple for Player 1 (Red) at (Position of HexMultipleCastingUnit) facing Default building facing degrees
                Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shadow Hunter - Hex (Picked unit)

Dunno what your problem with that trigger is, check the dummy ability maybe and see if the range/mana cost/etc is right

And the to get the random unit in unit group thing, you'd do

Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shadow Hunter - Hex (Random unit from HexGroup)

In the dropdown menu, random unit from unit group is directly above all of the event responses.

yea, it was late and i am sleepy
btw, you , or rather i forgot that theres need to remove triggering unit from unit group too, pick in region includes the triggering unit too
as for the bug

((((Triggering unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of HexMultipleCastingUnit))

erm... triggering unit and HexMultipleCastingUnit is the same

Set HexMultipleCastingUnit = (Casting unit)

you made it so...
the condition is never true
casting unit=triggering unit in this case..

 

[nabbig2]

Ah thanks, I got it to hex once, but how do you enable it to loop more than once?

 

[istar]

in your case, just 3 times, loops arent needed, just copy the picking and hexing part 3 times
i suppose you found the random option

 

[nabbig2]

Here I got this, but it still just performs one hex.

hexsuper
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to HEXX 
    Actions
        Set HexMultipleCastingUnit = (Triggering unit)
        Set HexGroup = (Units within 512.00 of (Position of HexMultipleCastingUnit) matching ((((Matching unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of HexMultipleCastingUnit)) Equal to False) and (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True)))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from HexGroup) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Create 1 Dummy hex multiple for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of HexMultipleCastingUnit) facing Default building facing degrees
                Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shadow Hunter - Hex (Picked unit)
                Wait 2.00 seconds
                Unit - Create 1 Dummy hex multiple for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of HexMultipleCastingUnit) facing Default building facing degrees
                Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shadow Hunter - Hex (Picked unit)

"Wait" doesn't work inside a "pick every ...".

 

[nabbig2]

Oh, I see. So what do I have to do to get it to hex more than once?

Try using a For each integer A. I'll make a trigger if you wait minute.
EDIT: Ok, here it is. It leaks, but that can be fixed.

Untitled Trigger 002
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Hex
    Actions
        Set Atemp_unitgroup = (Units within 500.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False)))
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set Atemp_unit = (Random unit from Atemp_unitgroup)
                Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
                Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Shadow Hunter - Hex Atemp_unit
                Unit Group - Remove Atemp_unit from Atemp_unitgroup
