how to make dummy in one line, casting unit-target point

[demotry241]

Ok, Find the Slam ability, since there is no caster "model = none.

remove art-caster thunderclap


add art - effect - thunderclap.. and now it will show.

sorry if i ask to much, but when i use the test map, i modify the peasant and delete the model, leaving the model in object editor blank, and when i test it, the peasant doesn't show, BUT, the slam effect (the earth cracks and the thunder below caster) doesn't shown too

now, how to make that effect still shown while the caster is hidden an not with the invisible effect? is it possible?

That is because dummy units have no model, in sense, no origin points either. You would have to put create special effect at Point not unit. Or you could put in effect or area effect. Those aren't attached to the unit but the area. Dw, about possibilities. GUI and JASS can do heaps of things and that is one very minor thing.

Set Temp_Loc = (Position of (Last created unit))
Special Effect - Create a special effect on Temp_Loc using Human/Abilities/Spells/ThunderClap/ThunderClapEffect
Special Effect - Destroy (Last Created Special effect)
Custom Scrpit:    call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Loc)

add this to your trigger

as I said you just need to add art-effect = thunderclap. to the slam skill. nothing more nothing less

i modified my test map and it now creates circles xD haha lol.

OFF TOPIC:

whats the difference between:
Art - Caster
Art - Effect
Art - Missle
Art - Special

 

[demotry241]

art caster. = well art of the caster casting the thing.


art effect= art after casting the thing..

art missile = art of the missile.


art special= used when making the unit explode on death...

200 UNITS FTW!

 

[XeNiM666]

art special= used when making the unit explode on death...

the missle??

 

[demotry241]

the missle??

the caster.. if the caster dies.. it will do that.. art special. but yeah... maybe its the missile too.

I think art - effect works for some spells as target model if multiple targets, last time tested was shockwave, art - target only worked if u clicked unit art - effect worked on all damaged units.

back to the topic, first time i used the trigger that you used in your map, i only CnP it, and i think it is what making everything in trouble, i keep modifying your test map, and i can make the slam become circular just like what you did

 

[demotry241]

heheh the angle of the last created unit -/+ some number

the offset of 100 to angle. xD


but did you now know how to implement it ^^

 

[aredee]

what implement? i don't get what you mean

 

[demotry241]

copying the spell from the test map to your map and please check the poll i recently created , please ^^

 

[aredee]

copying the spell from the test map to your map

after all +rep for everything

 

[demotry241]

[Anti-krazy]
