Random Special Effects

[Chaos_Knight]

Okay, im doing a spell, called Storm of Heaven. It's an instant spell and it pauses all units. But i want one more thing. Special Effects(of course).
I want it to randomly create 25 Lightning Bolts(Ive fixed a skin to them) in random points in range of the caster. How to do this??

Ive been thinking that i need to create Dummys, but how do i casue them to deal AoE damage??

if you play DotA or HoN, something like rylai's ulti or glacius ulti?

• Lighting
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 25, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set TmpPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        • Set RAngle = (Random angle)
        • Set RRange = (Random real number between 100.00 and 600.00) <--600=max range, you can set it what you want
        • Set Tmp2 = (TmpPoint offset by RRange towards RAngle degrees)
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Tmp2 using Doodads\Cinematic\Lightningbolt\Lightningbolt.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • Set Group = (Units within 100.00 of Tmp2 matching (((Matching unit) is Magic Immune) Not equal to True))<--100=range for the lighting effect
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Group and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Unit - Cause (Triggering) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 150.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Universal <--150=damage dealt, you can modify it how you want
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (Tmp2)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (TmpPoint)
        • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (Group)
        • Wait 0.03 seconds

You want something like this

Why do you use variables for real values? They don't leak. You can just set them in the second location variable.

 

[NoobImbaPro]

the procedure becomes slower

 

[Chaos_Knight]

Just testing the spell but nothing happens why?? Btw, what spell should i base it on??
If you play DotA or HoN, something like rylais ulti?? Yes i want.

bump

Waits inside of Integer A/B loops do not work well, they mess things up a lot. Plus Waits are off by +- .25 (tested it)
Remove the wait and see if it works
From the trigger given it would work with any spell. From what you want, Stomp would be best.
If you want a loop that does work, do a "Loop with VARIABLE" and have that variable be unique for only that trigger, and it wont be able to be used more then one at a time would messing up, which I would then suggest using locals.

 

[Chaos_Knight]

Yes, but still, i need to know what spell to base it on. And what type of variable should i have in the Integer Variable??

Channel, set its options to Visible, make it a instant ability, remove all its special effects.

 

[Chaos_Knight]

Got kinda cool acctually. Created another frostnova and and 10 damage to it.View attachment 35761

I tested the map and it looks kinda nice.

But the spell goes on and on for 35 minutes once you cast it, and all units are paused in, but never paused out again... :nuts:

 

[Chaos_Knight]

Yeah, i saw that. Will fix it.

 

[Chaos_Knight]

OKAY, im getting angry.The caster doesnt get vulnarbe again check it out, and plz, let me know how to fix.

• Set Initger = (Level of Fire Rebirth for (Casting unit))

You can't change the value of this variable, since you're using it for the loop...
Use (Integer A) loop instead

Also, don't use waits inside loops as it can bug sometimes...
And why do you mix (Casting unit) and (Triggering unit) ?!

And I believe it's supposed to be (Matching unit) here:

• Set Group = (Units within 250.00 of PointTarget matching (((Triggering unit) is Magic Immune) Equal to False))

Instead of (Triggering unit)

 

[Chaos_Knight]

It works now. Thx Komaqtion, but acctually your "help" didnt help. just when i posted i found out.
