Question 29: Solved

This doesn't works:

Event:
   A unti stops casting an ability
condition:
   ability being cast = mySpell
Action:
   Set Caster = Triggering unit
Set Target = Target unit of ability being cast
set Temppoint(1) = position of Caster
Set TempPoint(2) = position of target
Turn collision for cast off
move caster instantly to Temppoint(2) offset by 30 towards angle from temppoint(1) to temppoint(2) degrees, facing temppoint(2)
   Pause Target
   Create a special effect attached to overhead of target using Stun-thingy
   cause Caster to Damage Target, dealing 50 damage of attack type normal and dmage type normal

im using tinies map template.
the spell is based on channel.
when i use it, it instantly blinks the caster to the center of the map
i have no idea why.
jpls help

I don't know why, but if you c'n'p your actual trigger it might help more because I can't see the problem right now, and I'm pretty sure that it isn't the object editor causing that.

 

[Ninja_sheep]

what means "c'n'p"?
na, here's the map:

it's just... german... a little...

 

[PurgeandFire]

I think it is because you used "Unit - A units stops casting an ability"... It should be "Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability" otherwise I think it won't work. That is the only problem I see...

 

[Ninja_sheep]

lol, it works! thx!

edit:

Question 30 (allready question 30, i think it will not be more then 100 xD):

I can blink my hero now to the target (in spell i postet before). But there is a way to get such a fancy line (of phoenix attack animation) behind the hero when he blinks. If i do that, the effect just blinks with the hero

        Turn collision for Caster Off
        Make Caster Unvulurable
        Create a special effect attached to the hand left of Caster using Abilities\Weapons\PhoenixMissile\Phoenix_Missile.mdl
        Set CoolFist = (Last created special effect)
        Wait 0.50 seconds
        Einheit - Move Caster instantly to (TempPoint[2] offset by 30.00 towards (Angle from TempPoint[2] to TempPoint[1]) degrees), facing TempPoint[2]

Question 31:

Are modelling and skinning difficult? (If you compare them with GUI or Jass.)

 

[Doom-Angel]

if u just wanna edit models from warcraft3 using War3 Model editor then not very difficult
but creating a full model from scratch is way more difficult and i suggest u to leave it cuz it gonna take u a while to learn to work properly with this

 

[Ninja_sheep]

Question 32:

I modelled a modell with the war3 modell editor. Now i want to reskin it. Problem: The image extractor cant open it. Can somebody tell me a way to do that?

Question 33:

I made this:

Infernal with little bigger head, bigger arm and little smaller chest.
Problem: If i play the 2. attack animation the infernals arm goes through the leg and the chest... somebody got a solution for that? (tutorial how to make animations or something like that)

Question 34: Solved

Im tring to do an on-attack ability. but it shall not run, if the attacking unit misses it's attack. Is there a way to do this?

 

[Doom-Angel]

what's on attack ability?
and i guess the answer u are looking for is to check if u need is attacking - so simply check it by Detecting when unit perform order of type attack or smart

 

[Ninja_sheep]

what's on attack ability?

damn! i mean backstab. If the unit is attacked the trigger runs. but if the attack misses the trigger doesn't run. that's it.

and i guess the answer u are looking for is to check if u need is attacking - so simply check it by Detecting when unit perform order of type attack or smart

This one i dont get. I cant use the event "a unit is attacked" because if the attack misses the trigger still runs
