UGH! I did it EXACTLY like you said, and the only thing that works is, of course, the special effect. Nothing else works.

Try removing the wait from the loop, because it loops for each unit in DarkGroup, adding to 4 (wait) times the amount of units in that group.

try this
it should work
make sure ur dummies are able to cast banish in the 1 second they exist if nto increase that tiem or edit their casting time And casting animation time

oh and btw custom scripts are caps sensitive

wont the wait cause problems

 

[AoW_Hun7312]

The wait is the problem. Waits in loops are a big no-no. :thup:

 

[I_RULE_YOU]

Yes I understand that part, I thought, so can you please tell me how I can have the same effect without having a wait inside the loop?

 

[AoW_Hun7312]

Put the wait outside of the loop, pick all the units in DarkGroup, then run your actions (it should work, unless multiple units cast it.)

 

[I_RULE_YOU]

I can't figure out how to do that and have the trigger work.

I want the trigger to Banish all units in a 800 AoE around the hero, then 4 seconds later, deal the damage, then another 4 seconds later, remove the banish.

 

[AoW_Hun7312]

Could you come on Battle.net and let me download your map so I can look at it? Or can you Private Message it to me? It would make it so much easier

I want the trigger to Banish all units in a 800 AoE around the hero, then 4 seconds later, deal the damage, then another 4 seconds later, remove the banish.

maybe a timer?

 

[AoW_Hun7312]

The reason why it won't work is because you had the damage action OUTSIDE of the loop.

There's your fixed version. :thup:

 

[I_RULE_YOU]

Thanks.

Here's the thing, If you saw the special effect, you know what it looks liek. I wanted the damage to be dealt when the star FALLS, which is 4 seconds after casting. If I'm not mistaken, this will deal the damage immediately.....

Simple Fix.

                Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
                Special Effect - Destroy DarkEffect

                Custom script:   call DestroyGroup (udg_DarkGroup)
                Set DarkUnit = No unit
        Wait 4.00 seconds
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in DarkGroup and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Cause DarkUnit to damage (Picked unit), dealing (450.00 x (Real((Level of Dark Star  for DarkUnit)))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

The wait and the pick (again) of the Unit Group are OUTSIDE of the original loop.

Ahh, thanks much. My warcraft3 is giving trouble, so I might no be able to do yet, but will get it done asap. Thanks to all who helped.

*Bump*

 

[dragonhord]

Unit - Cause DarkUnit to damage (Picked unit), dealing (1.00 x (Real((Level of Dark Star for DarkUnit)))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal WEll for one thing... That does 1 damage per level 0.o... And for another thing... With the banish going off that does 0 damage... You need to change damage type to Magic not normal... For the banish part you might want to make sure your banish doesn't cost mana so the dummy can cast it and that you don't have any spell requirements on the banish spell...

 

[I_RULE_YOU]

Ah yes, the dummy had no mana, and I forgot about that damage typo.

But now, still no damage is dealt, and only 1 unit is banished when I activate the spell.

 

[dragonhord]

You change the damage type 0.o? Damage type of normal will do 0 damage to banished units. It has to be magic... As for why it's only banishing one unit... Nothing looks wrong w/ the trigger to me...

Thats it. Right there. Only 1 unit is getting banished, and the unit was not damaged at all (The other units were unharmed/unbanished)
