Living Bomb

[The newbie]

• Living Bomb
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Living Bomb
  • Actions
    • Wait 12.00 seconds
    • Set TempTargetPos = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
    • Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 350.00 at (Center of (Playable map area)), dealing 300.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Fire
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at TempTargetPos using Objects\Spawnmodels\Human\FragmentationShards\FragBoomSpawn.mdl
    • Set Hero_Special_Attached_Fx[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Last created special effect)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempTargetPos)

What is wrong with the effect. The damage works, but I would like an effect. The effect is under the category "spawned", will another category work better?
I have also tried to disable Set Hero_Special_Attached_Fx[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Last created special effect), but made no difference.

You might need to put a 12 second wait inbetween the Special Effect and The Damage.

You might need to put a 12 second wait inbetween the Special Effect and The Damage.

why?? Have you tried using other effects first to see if its not the special effect which isnt working?? Try for example to make footman special effect (found under units) and see if he shows up..if he dosnt change your explosion effect to something else.

E: also this trigger wont work (if you have the wait) if more than one player has the living bomb and use it at the same time, since the triggers variables will overwrite itself

I'm gonna fuck the effect, but my damage doesn't work xD. Earlier I forgot it was still placed as "center of playable map" and I set the damage and range to 99999, just to see. But even with values (range/damage) 9999999 it doesn't work when I use tempTargPos. I have tried different thing, without wait etc. but nothing seems to work. 'Am getting tired of this crap spell.

I know why; It doesn't know the casting unit after a Wait.

Solution: Set the units to variables before the wait, and then use them as variables after the wait.

 

[The newbie]

Then I can't cast more of them as the same time, right? Coz it would overwrite with new variables...

 

[nabbig2]

I'm not sure, but I think it should work. Test it out.

Warcraft III tends to "forget" casting unit. If you're going to use waits, use triggering unit instead. (I always use triggering unit.)

 

[SwedishChef]

well if your going to make it work fully when using more players im not going to lie to you, you will have to make it a lot more advanced if only 1 unit of every player can be "bombed" then u make unit variable with number of players arrays. When they cast set Unit Variabel = casting unit wait do rest of action, if more than one unit shall use it from every player then u will have to make a mui trigger with wait, i know a great guide for this. HEres the link http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=111694 this will be hard if you not used to trigger, but u will make it

Thanks for everyting, I will try the MUI thing, but if it doesn't work out, ill just throw it out Thanks all
