Loops in GUI.

[tooltiperror]

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Region centered at (Position of (Triggering unit)) with size (200.00, 200.00))) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Triggering unit), dealing 20.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

Can I loop it every eight seconds, without using the event "Every Eight Seconds"?

You are telling triggering unit to damage triggering unit. That wont work.

And then no, not with GUI at least. You need to use Jass or use periodic loop.

Was just an example.

And, okay.

if it doesnt need to be mui then put that into

for each integer A 1 to 8 do your action + wait 1 second

Meh, it has to be MUI.

Would it be quick to fix to then do it in Hashtables, or make an array with a slot per player?

for this exactly i would use

events - unit start effect of an ability
conditions - ability being cast equal to your ability
actions
-set targets = units in 200 range from casting unit/targeted point of ability being cast
-for each integer 1 to number of units in "targets" do
  -pick 1 random unit from "targets"
  -create dummy for owner of casting unit at position of picked unit
  -add shadow strike to last created unit
  -order last created unit to shadow strike picked unit
  -add 2 second expiration timer to last created unit
  -remove picked unit from "targets"

you just have to modfiy the shadow strike spell

But could I do it for all units in a unit group?

 

[kaboo]

this will cast shadow strike to all units in unit group - units in 200 range from casting unit/targeted point fo ability being cast

You should be able to use JASS loops with GUI.
start it with "loop", add "exitwhen VARIABLE == WhatEverValue", and end with endloop.
Anything between loop and endloop will be looped until the exitwhen condition is true.
Exitwhen is easy to use. Prefix globals with "udg_VariableNameHere".
Example: [ljass]exitwhen udg_BOOLEAN == true[/ljass].

If I read the post right, it might help. If not, well, at least you learnt something new.
