Hello, long time viewer - first time poster here! First of all I wish to say that this forum has helped me a great many times when I got stuck in my, not too advanced, mapmaking.

The issue at hand is, as you may have seen in the title, the ability Rain of Chaos and to make a unit cast it. The idea is somewhat simple - I want the unit to cast Rain of Chaos when he has less than or equal to 40% health. The problem is that he won't cast it.

I have tried everything and I can now conclude that I need your help. I have searched the site for similar problems - and found many - but none about Rain of Chaos. I have tried making the unit cast other abilities and that works, it's just Rain of Chaos that won't work.

If you have any information about this, please reply.
Thanks!


This is how my trigger looks like:

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Life of (Attacked unit)) Less than or equal to 87512.00
(Attacked unit) Equal to Pit Lord 0058 <gen>
Then - Actions
Game - Display to (All players) the text: Destromath: Feel th...
Unit - Order (Attacked unit) to Special Archimonde - Rain Of Chaos (Position of (Attacking unit))
Wait 0.10 seconds
Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
Else - Actions
Do nothing


Also, how do I make it look like in the trigger editor?

First off, you can use [noparse]
Trigger:
[/noparse] tags. Just put the codes in between. Could it be the casting time of the ability? Could you post the full trigger? And that leaks. You might want to search up on a leaks guide on this forum to fix it.

I think I found the problem(s).
1. Rain of Chaos has no order string.
2. When you use
Trigger:
  • Unit - Order (Attacked unit) to Special Archimonde - Rain Of Chaos (Position of (Attacking unit))

the order string is actually "rainoffire" (as seen in JASS).

Change these two things and you're done.
1. Give Rain of Chaos an order string - preferably "rainofchaos".
2. Convert the trigger to custom text, then change the order "rainoffire" to "rainofchaos".

Oh, my mistake, I thought i posted the full trigger!
Anyways, here is the full one and I don't think it has something to do with the cast time since I've tried different cast times, between 0 and 15.

Trigger:
  • Rain of Chaos
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Is attacked
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Life of (Attacked unit)) Less than or equal to 87512.00
          • (Attacked unit) Equal to Pit Lord 0058 &lt;gen&gt;
        • Then - Actions
          • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Destromath: Feel th...
          • Unit - Order (Attacked unit) to Special Archimonde - Rain Of Chaos (Position of (Attacking unit))
          • Wait 0.10 seconds
          • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        • Else - Actions
          • Do nothing


Thanks to you both for your replies!

I'm not sure if you got it working or not but you should get rid of the wait, turning a trigger off only stops it from running again, it doesn't prevent the rest of the actions in the trigger, btw hello everyone, its been ages since i've visited the helper forums and i can truthfully say it looks REALLY GOD DAMN AWESOME:)

Like I said,
Trigger:
  • Unit - Order (Attacked unit) to Special Archimonde - Rain Of Chaos (Position of (Attacking unit))
actually orders the unit to cast Rain Of Fire. Rain of Chaos (Archimonde) has no order string on its own, so you have to give it one.

I have now removed the wait.

Like I said,

  • Unit - Order (Attacked unit) to Special Archimonde - Rain Of Chaos (Position of (Attacking unit))
actually orders the unit to cast Rain Of Fire. Rain of Chaos (Archimonde) has no order string on its own, so you have to give it one.

Yes, I changed the string and I'm just about to try it out!

[Edit]
It works damn well! Thank you!

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
