Just a little spell help

[T-Bonety]

Hey thanks to anyone who takes their time to look at this my question is pretty noob but here it is.

You know when you have an ability lets say for this case. Fire. And you want the spell to deal Hero's Strength x 2, i have that part figured out but where i get stuck is when they level the ability up that i can change the trigger accordingly.

like so when they level up Fire - [Level 1] to Fire -[Level 3], 4, 5 etc.

How can i change the trigger to make it say 4x his strength for level 2 and 8x his strength for level 3 etc. etc.

Thanks to anyone who helps me out.

If you don't like the wait just remove it

Your trigger is essentially this:

Assuming:
Level 1 = 2x his strength
Level 2 = 4x his strength
Level 3 = 8x his strength
...

• Fated Circle
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Fated Circle
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8 do Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 dummy for (Triggering player) at ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 250.00 towards (45.00 x (Integer A)) degrees) facing (Position of (Triggering unit))
      • Unit - Cause (last created unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 150.00 at (Position of (last created unit)), dealing ((Real(SquallStr)) x (2.00 ^ (Level of Fated Circle for (Triggering unit))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
      • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (last created unit)

 

[tommerbob]

• Set TempPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit)
  • Loop - For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8 Do Actions:
    • Create 1 dummy fated for (Triggering unit) at TempPoint
    • Set FatedCircle[Integer A] = (last created unit)
    • Unit - Cause FatedCircle[Integer A] to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 150.00 at TempPoint, dealing ((Real(SqualStr)) x 2.00) of attack type spells and damage type normal
    • Unit - Add a 2.00 second generic expiration timer to FatedCircle[Integer A]

I cleaned up your trigger somewhat. I stuck what you just did inside a loop. I didn't change the damage though, or the position of the dummy casters.

EDIT: Aww Moridin you beat me to it! <--- Follow his trigger.

 

[Moridin]

Hahaha . You do realise you don't need integer A for the later actions right? You don't even need to save the unit in a variable .

 

[NoobImbaPro]

hey have you seen my trigger? I am first and I beat ya!!!! :shades::shades::shades: and no leaks and he can move freely during the effect of the ability

 

[Moridin]

Well you're right that your trigger doesn't have leaks. At the same time you added unneccesary variables and a wait for some reason :S, making it non-MUI.

I also find it very childish that you went back and edited your trigger half an hour after tommerbob posted just so you could say "yay I'm first".

 

[NoobImbaPro]

I went to toilet during writing the trigger, so I wrote it 30 mins later.I wrote how to to make it better, but then I realized that a trigger would definitely be better


Edit: there are no unnecessary variables, there are configurables or something like that

 

[Ayanami]

@ NoobImbaPro
Why do you want to be the first? Do you want rep so badly? For what reason? And your trigger is not leakless. Your offset leaks. Red part is where it leaks.

Unit - Create 1 dummy fated for (Triggering player) at [COLOR="Red"][B](Position offset by 250.00 towards Degree degrees)[/B][/COLOR] facing (Position)

Your code won't even compile for that matter.

• Custom script: RemoveLocation(Position)

This would give you errors when saving. Position is a global variable. Thus, you need a udg_ prefix. This would work.

• Custom script: RemoveLocation(udg_Position)

You really shouldn't deal damage using "Circular Radius" action as it deals damage to all units, allies and enemies alike. Use a temporary unit group and deal damage instead.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Fated Circle
  • Actions
    • Set TempReal = 0.00
    • Set RealDamage = (Power(2.00, (Real((Level of Fated Circle for (Triggering unit))))))
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set TempReal = (TempReal + 45.00)
        • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        • Set TempOffset = (TempPoint offset by 250.00 towards TempReal degrees)
        • Set TempUnitGroup = (Units within 150.00 of TempOffset) matching ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Triggering player)) Equal to True))))
        • Unit - Create 1 dummy fated for (Triggering player) at TempOffset facing TempPoint
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempUnitGroup and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing RealDamage damage of attack type Spells and damage type Magic
        • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Custom script: DestroyGroup(udg_TempUnitGroup)
        • Custom script: RemoveLocation(udg_TempOffset)
        • Custom script: RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

This would damage all enemies within 150 area of the position of the created unit and only deal damage to non-structure enemy units.

      • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (last created unit)

Thanks for your time but i cant find the 45 x Interger A part or the 2.00 ^ level of fated circle part in any of the triggers

Also yours just doesnt work for me not sure why though

 

[Moridin]

You have to use Arithmetic. It will give you the option of:

_____ + ______

Then you can change the first value to 45, the sign into "x" and the second value to "For loop integer A".

Also, the ^ implies to the power of. It should be under math functions.

Thank You very much spell works perfectly now and ill be able to base all my other spells after it +rep !!

 

[NoobImbaPro]

@glenphir yeah I want it so badly that I missed that leak, and after writing in vJass for more than a year I missed that you have to place the udg_ prefix and the other one with the position.
I am too close at +50 rep and plz don't -rep me for CHILDISH reasons...!!!
I know I my behavior was moronic but none doesn't make mistakes, ok???

But you learn from your mistakes, and then you don't repeat it. That's different.

Anyways, glad that you got your answer T-Bonety. Just remember to remove your location leaks, group leaks, etc.

Man I know very well what to do, I am noob now i am imba , and I know all leak types and how to remove them....
