Need help with AOE silence.

[khll1993]

How can I make an AOE skill that silences every enemy around a unit?

 

[SaintMorose]

have a dummy unit cast silence on the casting unit

 

[Carnerox]

• Silence
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to (==) (YourSpell)
  • Actions
    • Set SilenceCaster[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Triggering unit)
    • Set SilenceOwner[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Owner of SilenceCaster[(Player number of (Triggering player))])
    • Set SilencePoint[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Position of SilenceCaster[(Player number of (Triggering player))])
    • Unit - Create 1 (YourDummyUnit) for SilenceOwner[(Player number of (Triggering player))] at SilencePoint[(Player number of (Triggering player))] facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
    • Set SilenceDummy[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to SilenceDummy[(Player number of (Triggering player))]
    • Unit - Add Silence to SilenceDummy[(Player number of (Triggering player))]
    • Unit - Set level of Silence for SilenceDummy[(Player number of (Triggering player))] to (Level of (YourSpell) for SilenceCaster[(Player number of (Triggering player))])
    • Unit - Order SilenceDummy[(Player number of (Triggering player))] to Neutral Dark Ranger - Silence SilencePoint[(Player number of (Triggering player))]
    • Set SilencePoint[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Position of SilenceCaster[0])
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_SilencePoint[0])

 

[jig7c]

this

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_SilencePoint[0])

could be

• Actions
  • Set Index = (Player number of (Triggering player))
  • ----other actions------
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_SilencePoint[Index])

 

[Bogrim]

Undead.Cow and jig7c, those array indexes are truly pointless.

 

[jig7c]

he is trying to make that MUI.. i think

 

[khll1993]

• Silence
  • Unit - Order SilenceDummy[(Player number of (Triggering player))] to Neutral Dark Ranger - Silence SilencePoint[(Player number of (Triggering player))]

Is there any way to order the dummy unit to use a custom silence spell instead of "Neutral Dark Ranger - Silence"?

 

[Carnerox]

Was to lazy to write jass, and my GUI isn't that good. :[

 

[Shura]

As long as your custom Silence is based off of the Silence from the Dark Ranger the dummy unit will still cast your custom one.

i think jass is easier to write then GUI, not to mention you get MUI free by using locals

 

[Ayanami]

Why even use arrays? The trigger is instant so there's no point using arrays. It' MUI even without arrays.

That way of using an array index does nothing but use more memory and work. Don't promote "work-around" methods unless you're sure they're worth the effort.

if your spell is based off of silence and the dummy has no other spells based off of silence, it will cast your custom silence (assuming it has the mana/etc.)
