MUI Help, Part 2

[Tawnttoo]

I was trying to make an awesome-looking spell with hashtables. It looks awesome allright, but it's not MUI. Could you help me get it MUI?

 

[Bogrim]

Instead of making me download your map, could you please just post the triggers?

 

[Tawnttoo]

Sure, I just thought it would be simpler this way because these are quite long:

• Init
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
    • Set Rune_Hash = (Last created hashtable)

• Cast Rune
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Rune
  • Actions
    • Set Rune_Caster = (Triggering unit)
    • Hashtable - Save Handle OfRune_Caster as (Key caster) of 1 in Rune_Hash
    • Set Rune_Point = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Hashtable - Save Handle OfRune_Point as (Key location) of (Key caster) in Rune_Hash
    • Set Rune_Duration = 12.00
    • Hashtable - Save Rune_Duration as (Key duration) of (Key caster) in Rune_Hash
    • Set Rune_Effect = Abilities\Weapons\SpiritOfVengeanceMissile\SpiritOfVengeanceMissile.mdl
    • Set Rune_Damage = 500.00
    • Hashtable - Save DoT_Damage as (Key damage) of (Key caster) in Rune_Hash
    • Set Rune_Count = 0
    • Hashtable - Save Rune_Count as (Key count) of (Key caster) in Rune_Hash
    • Set Rune_Radius = 0.00
    • Hashtable - Save Rune_Radius as (Key radius) of (Key caster) in Rune_Hash

• Rune
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Rune_Duration = (Load (Key duration) of (Key caster) from Rune_Hash)
    • Set Rune_Radius = (Load (Key radius) of (Key caster) from Rune_Hash)
    • Set Rune_Count = (Load (Key count) of (Key caster) from Rune_Hash)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Load (Key duration) of (Key caster) from Rune_Hash) Greater than 0.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Hashtable - Save (Rune_Duration - 0.05) as (Key duration) of (Key caster) in Rune_Hash
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Load (Key duration) of (Key caster) from Rune_Hash)))
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Load (Key count) of (Key caster) from Rune_Hash) Less than 40
          • Then - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Load (Key count) of (Key caster) from Rune_Hash) Less than 20
              • Then - Actions
                • Hashtable - Save (Rune_Count + 1) as (Key count) of (Key caster) in Rune_Hash
                • Hashtable - Save (Rune_Radius + (200.00 x 0.05)) as (Key radius) of (Key caster) in Rune_Hash
                • Set Rune_Point = ((Load (Key location) of (Key caster) in Rune_Hash) offset by (Load (Key radius) of (Key caster) from Rune_Hash) towards (90.00 + (18.00 x (Real((Load (Key count) of (Key caster) from Rune_Hash))))) degrees)
                • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Rune_Point using Rune_Effect
                • Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Last created special effect) as Rune_Count of (Key caster) in Rune_Hash
                • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Rune_Point)
              • Else - Actions
                • Hashtable - Save (Rune_Count + 1) as (Key count) of (Key caster) in Rune_Hash
                • Set Rune_Point = ((Load (Key location) of (Key caster) in Rune_Hash) offset by 200.00 towards (90.00 + (18.00 x (Real((Load (Key count) of (Key caster) from Rune_Hash))))) degrees)
                • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Rune_Point using Rune_Effect
                • Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Last created special effect) as Rune_Count of (Key caster) in Rune_Hash
                • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Rune_Point)
          • Else - Actions
      • Else - Actions
        • For each (Integer A) from 0 to Rune_Count, do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Special Effect - Destroy (Load (Integer A) of (Key caster) in Rune_Hash)
        • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child (Key caster) in Rune_Hash

Add the caster into a unit group. Put the loop into a UnitGroup pick multiple and then you make the loads of "picked unit" instead. That would do it I think (quick check)

 

[Tawnttoo]

So I'm to add the caster into a unit group and then pick all the units in an unit group. Where do I use Picked Unit?

In the second trigger where you load from (Key caster).

Okay thanks, works like a charm now. It seems I still got loads to learn.

Glad to help.
