Well I attempted to make a spell so it would create big line that was red (done it in object editor, making the spell) and have blood fly out of the "deep cut" for like 7 times. However it failed and the blood effects don't appear.

Your actions function has no endfunction

 

[_whelp]

DestroyEffect(AddSpecialEffect(-Args-)) only works for some models.

DestroyEffect(AddSpecialEffect(-Args-)) only works for some models.

It works for most sfx models.

scope mutilate

You never gave your scope the initializer.

scope mutilate initializer InitTrig_mutilate

 

[MagnaGuard]

You never gave your scope the initializer.

>> I'm just learning scopes so what does giving it the initializer do?

Edit: By the way the spell works as it's supposed to now

Fix scope

scope mutilate initializer InitTrig_mutilate

you dont end the 2nd function

Its should be

call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_mutilate, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )

Make

local trigger t = createtrigger()

and remove set gg_trg_mutilate = CreateTrigger( ) and then change

gg_trg_mutilate

in the last function to t

DestroyEffect(AddSpecialEffect(-Args-)) only works for some models.

It works for most sfx models.

It plays models death animation, so it works if death animation is what you need.
