Ninja_Sheep's question thread.

[Sunny_D]

considered the item ability (convert to a unit abil) "slow orb" already? it gives a chance to cast a spell (checking for evasion as well). at least this would work with a unit-target spell that has enough range... with others i havent tested it yet...

that would be a way to go around a trigger at all...

otherwise, if you really need a trigger, i think that the "takes damage" event could work.

 

[Doom-Angel]

what i mean is:

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    Conditions
        Or - Any (Conditions) are true
            Conditions
                (Issued order) Equal to (Order(attack))
                (Issued order) Equal to (Order(smart))
    Actions

btw i didn't notice but i have 1500 Posts

1. I need the trigger
2. "takes damage" wont work because it's not a generic unit event

what i mean is:

Untitled Trigger 001 Events Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object Conditions Or - Any (Conditions) are true Conditions (Issued order) Equal to (Order(attack)) (Issued order) Equal to (Order(smart)) Actions

Hmmm, i think this trigger will run allways if a unit gets the ORDER to attack and not if it actually hits the target...

thx anyway

edit:
Question 35: solved

I just tried around with fireburn of illidan. I want the spell to add a buff to the caster if it's turned on (or something i can check the unit has turned the ability on). Is there a waay to do this?

 

[Doom-Angel]

again check through unit perform order and detect if it's the spell (by order id string) when it's turning on
and simply add a special effect and when it orders to turn off u simply remove the special effect

1. I need the trigger
2. "takes damage" wont work because it's not a generic unit event

just to mention, there are ways to make it a generic event. for pre-placed units:

set tempgroup = all units in playable map
pick all units in tempgroup and add to YourTrigger the event - picked unit takes damage"
calldestroy group (udg_tempgroup)

and for all following units:

E: unit enters playable map
C:
A: add to YourTrigger the event - triggering unit takes damage"

erm? I dont get it. Can you post the event and condition? I just see the event for a player that GIVES an order, not to check the order...

>Sunny_D
Sry guys, but i need it for all units Not just for preplaced

 

[Sunny_D]

and for all following units:

E: unit enters playable map 
C: 
A: add to YourTrigger the event - triggering unit takes damage"

this is for all units that are spawned in future

 

[Doom-Angel]

that's what i mean:
Detect turn on:

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
    Conditions
        (Issued order) Equal to (Order(immolation))
    Actions

Detect turn off:

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
    Conditions
        (Issued order) Equal to (Order(unimmolation))
    Actions

 

[Ninja_sheep]

this is for all units that are spawned in future

THX (omg, I was stupid :>)

>doom angel:
Lol, thx, i actually thought you meant it for the question BEFORE this one.


(I think the problem is i wrote the bad answer in school xD)

Question 36: Solved

I made this spawn trigger:

Footmanspawn 1
    Events
        Time - Every 60.00 seconds of game time
    Condition
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            'IF'-condition
                (Barracks 0005 <gen> is alive) equals True
            'THEN'-Action
                Set TempPoint = (Position of Barracks 0005 <gen>)
                Einheit - Create 3 Soldat for Player 1 (Rot) at TempPoint facing default building faciong degrees
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)
                Set TempGroup = (Last created unit group)
                Set TempPoint = (Position of Undead core 0001 <gen>)
                Unitgroup - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
                    loop - Actions
                        Einheit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack/Move to TempPoint
                Custom script:   call DestroyGroup (udg_TempGroup)
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)
            'ELSE'-actions
        Wait 2.00 seconds
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            'IF'-condition
                (Gun-factiory 0004 <gen> is alive) Gleich True
            'THEN'-actions
                Set TempPoint = (Position of Gun-factiory 0004 <gen>)
                Einheit - Create 2 rifleman for player 1 (Rot) at TempPoint facing default building  degrees
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)
                Set TempGroup = (Last created unit group)
                Set TempPoint = (Position of Undead core 0001 <gen>)
                unitgroup - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
                    loop - Actions
                        units - Order (Picked unit) to Move/Attack to TempPoint
                Custom script:   call DestroyGroup (udg_TempGroup)
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)
            'ELSE'-actions

Problem: every time the unit groups spawn, 1 unit of them moves to my human townhall. I got no idea why. I got no other trigger, that could change anything about that. What's wrong with it ?!?

 

[Chocobo]

(Last created unit group) doesn't work with Unit - Create.. things.

 

[Ninja_sheep]

damn

(Last created unit group) doesn't work with Unit - Create.. things.

that sucks -.- thx
got to solved this somehow... i use "a unit enters playable map area" and condition of unit type.

Question 37: Solved

Does the "add event" action leak if i add 1000000 billions of events?

Question 38: Solved

Does it leak if i use "wait till checking every X seconds" and the condition never becomes true?

 

[Doom-Angel]

Q 37: nope u can add as many as u want....

Q 38: it would leak depending on the condition (if it leaks a group or a point)
so if it will never become true and ur condition leaks then ur game will become very laggy but there also might be a crash since it's an endless loop so i never realy tried it but i suggest to avoid it

 

[Ninja_sheep]

thx

Question 39: Solved

How can i do screenshots in WE?

Question 40: Solved

How can i have 2 maps open at the same time?

edit:

Question 41: Solved

How can i make the red number of windwalk to not apear if the unit in windwalk attacks?

 

[Sunny_D]

39: print key

40: open one, press open then choose another map. you can switch between them in the "window" menu.

41: in the spell settings in the OE you can set the backstab damage to false or something similar...

 

[Ninja_sheep]

39: print key

i mean... isn't there a way to do it without all the windows you have at the side and all those toolbars?

40: open one, press open then choose another map. you can switch between them in the "window" menu.

thx

41: in the spell settings in the OE you can set the backstab damage to false or something similar...

allready tried this, but there's still a big, red "0!"

 

[Sunny_D]

39: not with WE... you could start the game with kinda debug mode with view etc to take a screeny...

41: then its obviously hardcoded... and that means its not meant to be changed =p

 

[Ninja_sheep]

Lol, shall i make my windwalk by trigger? omfg!
thx anyway...

hey, got an idea...

Surprising Attacke
   event
       A unit is attacked
    condition
        ((Triggering unit) has buff windwalk) equals True
    action
        Einheit - Remove windwalk buff from (Triggering unit)

*testing*
.......................
...................................

didn't work -.-

edit:

kinda debug mode

what's that?

 

[Sunny_D]

just meant if you really need such screenshots just start the game with enabled sight so you can take your pics... but i think the WE screenies are good enough anyway...

btw, probably you could use simply invisibility when you dont want attack bonus?

 

[Ninja_sheep]

hmmm, okay

>invisibilty

Wont work.
I need the collision turned off.
