• Untitled Trigger 007
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.30 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) has buff Acid Bomb) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Percentage life of (Picked unit)) Less than or equal to 10.00)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for Player 1 (Red) emitting Visibility from (Position of (Picked unit)) to a radius of 512.00

some of the values you will have to change and you will have to give the unit who has the ability a buff. I hope thats not too cloudy of an explanation for you.

The Picked unit in the unit group picking is not working. Use Matching unit instead


EDIT: Ups didn't saw that what Renendaru saw. He's right. U should use some variable for a unit that has that buff

 

[Renendaru]

That code will make a trail of revealed area. :/ I would instead use share vision, instead of visibility modifiers.

Edit: There's also no (Triggering Unit) so the code will do nothing.

 

[Jedimindtrixxx]

that trigger squishinator posted wont work properly cuz there is no triggering unit for the conditions.

EDIT: GOD DAMN renendaru beat me to it :/

What can I do to make it work lol, could I have 2 events in one script? Such as A hero learning a spell and every .30 seconds?

What if i did it like this

Initialize Presence of the One
    Events
        Unit - A unit Learns a skill
    Conditions
        (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Presence of the One 
    Actions
        Set WitchKing = (Learning Hero)

Presence of the One
    Events
        Time - Every 0.30 seconds of game time
    Conditions
        (WitchKing has buff Presence of the One ) Equal to True
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Percentage life of (Picked unit)) Less than or equal to 30.00)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Grant shared vision of (Picked unit) to Player 1 (Red)

What can I do to make it work lol

Just make a variable for the buffed unit in some other trigger. For ex.

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to *Your Ability*
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 100.00 of (Which point u want) matching (((Matching unit) has buff *Your Buff*) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Unit = (Picked unit)
    • Trigger - Turn on (*The Checking trigger*)

Will the way I did it above work? Im trying to find someone to help me test it.

K the way i did it works, thanks guys

I'm not sure but does the Unit Group thing leak? I remember there's such thing as

• Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Temp_Group)

So instead of "Pick every unit in (blah blah blah)" first set Temp_Group (or whatever you want) to your (units within blah blah blah) and then pick every unit in Temp_Group to do action. Then call the remove group custom script.

What could I use other than

Unit - Grant shared vision of (Picked unit) to WitchKingOwner

That reveals everything that that player can See,i just want a small circle around the unit.

Somthing like this?

Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for WitchKingOwner emitting Visibility from (Position of (Picked unit)) to a radius of 512.00
