Do you want it to be AoE like in the newer dotas or single target like the older ones?

 

[Joeza8901]

i want to make AoE but if you make other in single target it would be good to me for learning

(I've try in Flame Strike but it doesnt burn target mana and they does not died :banghead

The first trigger is for the casting of the spell
All the values are set in this 1 so if you need to edit anything it can all be done here

• Spell Cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Curse
  • Actions
    • Set CurseUnit = (Triggering unit)
    • Set MyPoint = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Set CurseTargets = (Units within 450.00 of MyPoint matching ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and ((((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True))))
    • Set Damage = (10 x (Level of Curse for (Triggering unit)))
    • Countdown Timer - Start CurseDurationTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 10.05 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn on Periodic Damage <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn on Spell Exit <gen>
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_MyPoint)

This is for damage and mana loss

• Periodic Damage
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in CurseTargets and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Cause CurseUnit to damage (Picked unit), dealing (Real(Damage)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
        • Unit - Set mana of (Picked unit) to ((Mana of (Picked unit)) - ((Real(Damage)) / 2.00))

This is for when duration of spell ends

• Spell End
  • Events
    • Time - CurseDurationTimer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off Periodic Damage <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn off Spell Exit <gen>
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_CurseTargets)

This is to stop the damage if unit casts

• Spell Exit
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is in CurseTargets) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from CurseTargets

Things You Need To Do:
>Create Spell
>Create Dummy Unit
>Create Dummy Spell
>Create Curse Buff
>Add to the first trigger this UnitGroup Loop to add the buff

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in CurseTargets and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set MyPoint = (Position of (Picked unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 <DummyUnit> for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at MyPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add a 0.20 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to <Cast Dummy Spell for Buff> (Picked unit)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_MyPoint)

Wut This?

>Add to the first trigger this UnitGroup Loop to add the buff

Trigger:
Unit Group - Pick every unit in CurseTargets and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Set MyPoint = (Position of (Picked unit))
Unit - Create 1 <DummyUnit> for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at MyPoint facing Default building facing degrees
Unit - Add a 0.20 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
Unit - Order (Last created unit) to <Cast Dummy Spell for Buff> (Picked unit)
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_MyPoint)

Its the UnitGroup Loop that you will add into the first trigger at the end. It will allow you to add a buff/effect to the target units

Why when i use it its extreme lag? and the damage didnt stop i need help again
i use Flame strike for hero spell and Banshee Curse for dummy wut i do wrong because damage didnt stop

 

[merlinds]

I think you can use mass silence. Change the "Effect" of it to a dummy effect that does nothing. Then when you use the spell it will aplies a "buff" on all units in the AoE speell. Then you can use the "buff" to check if the unis have it you applies the damage and Mana burn. Then you create a trigger that when a unit casts a spell and have the specific "buff" on it, you remove that buff from the unit.

 

[Joeza8901]

i got everythings right now but how to fix the lag? its extreme laggy:banghead:

 

[inevit4ble]

Hmm, try preloading the spell at Map Initialization.
ie.

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add Animate Dead to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Remove (Last created unit) from the game

That might help

Otherwise I can make it in jass which should speed it up

i would do it like this:

• Cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • Ability - Ability being cast is Curse of Silence
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Group_Curse[Level of ability being cast] = Units in target area of cast matching condition (owner of matching unit is an enemy of owner of triggering unit)
    • Unit Group - Pick all Units in Temp_Group_Curse[Level of ability being cast] and do actions
      • Loop Actions
        • Hashtable - Save Triggering unit as X of (key Picked unit) in Spell_hashtable
        • Hashtable - Save (duration integer) as X+1 of (Key Picked unit) in Spell_Hashtable
    • Trigger - Turn on Curse Effect &lt;gen&gt;
    • Trigger - Turn on Remove from Group &lt;gen&gt;

• Curse Effect
  • Events
    • Time - Periodic event, every 1 second
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For Integer A from 1 to 4 do actions
      • Loop Actions
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Temp_Group_Curse[Integer A] and do actions
          • Loop Actions
            • Hashtable - Save ((load integer X+1 of (Key Picked unit) in Spell_Hashtable) - 1) as X+1 of (Key Picked Unit) in Spell_Hashtable
            • Unit - Set mana of picked unit equal to Mana of picked unit - (Real(Integer A) x 5)
            • Unit - Cause (load X of (key picked unit) in Ability_Hashtable) to damage Picked unit for (Real(Integer A) x 10)
            • If then else
              • If
                • Integer - (load Integer X+1 of (Key Picked Unit) in Spell_Hashtable) is equal to 0
              • Then
                • Unit Group - Remove Picked unit from Temp_Group_Curse[Integer A]
    • For Integer A from 1 to 4 do actions
      • Loop Actions
        • If then else
          • If
            • Integer - Number of units in Temp_Group_Curse[Integer A] is equal to 0
          • Then
            • Set Temp_Integer = Temp_Integer + 1
          • Else
    • If then else
      • If
        • Temp_Integer is equal to 4
      • Then
        • Trigger - turn off this trigger
        • Trigger - turn off Curse Effect &lt;gen&gt;
      • Else

• Remove from group
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • Unit Group - Unit is in Temp_Group_Curse
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Integer = 0
    • For Integer A from 1 to 4 do actions
      • Loop Actions
        • Unit Group - Remove triggering unit from Temp_Group_Curse[Integer A]
        • If then else
          • If
            • Integer - Number of Units in Temp_Group_Curse[Integer A] is equal to 0
          • Then
            • Set Temp_Integer = temp_integer + 1
            • Custom Script: Call Destroyunitgroup(UDG_Temp_Group_Curse[Integer A]
          • Else
    • If then else
      • If
        • Temp_Integer is equal to 4
      • Then
        • Trigger - turn off this trigger
        • Trigger - turn off Curse Effect &lt;gen&gt;
      • Else

EDIT: I just realized you got it done... bummer, mine wrapped it up nicely without leaks and without huge spam :/
