This is basically a non-channel Starfall - or is supposed to be.

I have no idea how to periodically move the dummy unit to the location of the caster, and I guess through that periodically check if the caster is still alive.

Halp?

JASS:
function Trig_Star_Light_Star_Bright_GUI_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetSpellAbilityId() == 'ANcl' ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

globals
    unit caster
    unit dummy
    location casterloc
    player casterown
    timer T=CreateTimer()
    integer Total=15
endglobals

function Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    set caster = GetTriggerUnit()
    set casterown = GetOwningPlayer(caster)
    set casterloc = GetUnitLoc(caster)
    call CreateNUnitsAtLoc( 1, 'nvlk', casterown, casterloc, bj_UNIT_FACING)
    set dummy = GetLastCreatedUnit()
    call UnitAddAbility(dummy, 'AEsf')
    call SetUnitAbilityLevel(dummy, 'AEsf', GetUnitAbilityLevel(caster, 'ANcl'))
    call IssueImmediateOrder(dummy, "starfall")
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_JASS takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_JASS = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_JASS, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_JASS, Condition( function Trig_Star_Light_Star_Bright_GUI_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_JASS, function Actions)
endfunction

Why not:
JASS:
function Trig_Star_Light_Star_Bright_GUI_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
     return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'ANcl'
endfunction


Why don't you actually start with trying to accomplish this in GUI rather than JASS? Just do what you did in GUI first, make the unit, then turn on some trigger that runs every 0.25? seconds and move the dummy unit to the position of unit.

Trigger:
  • Starfall
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Animate Dead
    • Actions
      • Set Caster = (Triggering unit)
      • Set CLoc = (Position of Caster)
      • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of Caster) at CLoc facing Default building facing degrees
      • Set Dummy = (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Order Dummy to Night Elf Priestess Of The Moon - Starfall
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_CLoc )
      • Trigger - Turn on StarfallMove <gen>

Trigger:
  • StarfallMove
    • Events
      • Time - Every 0.25 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Caster is dead) Equal to True
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Remove Dummy from the game
        • Else - Actions
          • Custom script: call SetUnitX( udg_Dummy, GetUnitX( udg_Caster ) )
          • Custom script: call SetUnitY( udg_Dummy, GetUnitY( udg_Caster ) )



SetUnitX and SetUnitY don't interrupt the dummy's channeling.

NO, use polarprojection.

JASS:
function Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit caster = GetTriggerUnit()
    local player casterown = GetOwningPlayer(caster)
    local location casterloc = GetUnitLoc(caster)
    local unit dummy = CreateNUnitsAtLoc( 1, 'nvlk', casterown, casterloc, bj_UNIT_FACING)
    call UnitAddAbility(dummy, 'AEsf')
    call SetUnitAbilityLevel(dummy, 'AEsf', GetUnitAbilityLevel(caster, 'ANcl'))
    call IssueImmediateOrder(dummy, "starfall")
    call RemoveLocation(casterloc)
    set caster = null
    set casterown = null
    set casterloc = null
    set dummy = null
endfunction


Use this, it is MUI. If you want to use timer, then you need a attach system.

Does it have to be split into two triggers then?

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
