I just started up with map making

[roXplosive]

I just started up this week and decided to make 1 custom hero but when I try this first spell with Jass I got stuck .
I use NewGen for editing and JassCratf to look up constants/functions/events and such .
Still I don't know what is wrong with this statement :

UnitDamageTargetBJ(u,u,5.00,ATTACK_TYPE_MAGIC,DAMAGE_TYPE_UNIVERSAL)

Any help is appreciated

A question ( i like maths ) I s there a way to make an unit move on a geometrical locus ?
I mean simple ones like arcs of elipse/circle/hiperbola because I've seen a way to make them move in a line but I don't like lines only .

what is u and from common sense you dont need to put the unit variable twice

Unless, Im wrong

I made a spell and I want the caster to take damage when the spells summons dummy units 5 damage unreduced
by anything and in the damage part of the spell whenever a dummy is in range of
an enemy and my spell deals damage my hero will be healed by 1 hp .

Here is the line above the one posted before ; maybe the error is here

set spirits[i+j*udg_Spirits]=CreateUnit(GetOwningPlayer(u),'e000',X+udg_InnerCircleCentersX[j+1]+udg_ArcRadius*Cos(i*udg_ArcVariationOnTimer+udg_Arcs1Start[j+1]),Y+udg_InnerCircleCentersY[j+1]+udg_ArcRadius*Sin(i*udg_ArcVariationOnTimer+udg_Arcs1Start[j+1]),0)

Newgen can also look up the constants and events and stuff

User hits himself for 5d6 facepalm damage . I have forgotten to use the keyworj "call" to call the function . Now that's dumb (i was used for functions to be called only by names ) .

Antoher question (not as dumb as the former) : what is this statement used for ? "GetWidgetLife(cast) > 0.405" does it stand for unit "cast" is alive ?

Usually yea.

Note that it can fail if you change dead units hp to higher than .405 with some other code. This is why you should have some custom heal unit -function which checks units health before changing it.



You can also use IsUnitType(unit,UNIT_TYPE_DEAD), but note that it will return false if your unit has been removed from the game.
