Range Question

[n4bieclimber]

i have a question about "range"

i want this trigger

Unit - Cause (Picked unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 200.00 at (Position of (Picked unit)), dealing Fire_Pit_damage damage of attack type Normal and damage type Normal

to damage all creeps in an area of 200 AROUND the unit that does the damage and not damaging the unit itself.

.........................................(d)
a little acsII art to explain ...(d(n)d)
.........................................(d)

d= damaging area
n= is no damage area.

any ideas?

Set a unit group to Units within 200 range of (caster's point, in a variable) matching condition Matching Unit is alive, and Matching Unit belongs to an enemy of Triggering Unit. then, pick all units in the group and use Unit - Damage Target action to cause triggering unit to damage picked unit

owk can u fit this in trigger form or jass whatever u like but i cant figure it out on the way u suggested it. So hope u can help me.

in variable editor (green X at top of trigger editor), create a variable of type Point, and another of type Unit Group. lets call them TempPt and TempUG

Set TempPt = Position of (Triggering Unit)
Set TempUG = Units within 200 range of TempPt matching condition Matching Unit is alive = True and Matching Unit belongs to an enemy of Owner of Triggering Unit = True and Matching Unit is a Structure = False
 Pick every unit in TempUG and do actions:
   (Unit - Damage Target action) Cause Triggering to damage Picked Unit dealing X damage of attack type Y and damage type Z
call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPt)
call DestroyGroup (udg_TempUG)

Fixed the leaks
Added condition to exclude structures

Don't forget call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPt) and call DestroyGroup (udg_TempUG)

And tell him to add "(matching unit) is a Structure Equal to False" if he want buildings to stay untouched bu the spell.

wow tnxs man i just went down to eat and u already answered

owk... so in my existing script where my original action was i only have to add the action

run trigger (...) checking condition right?

you cant use run trigger (checking condition) unless it has a unit event since you cant set position of triggering unit unless there is a triggering unit. if its a spell you want to use it for, thats all the actions you need to do damage to units in a circle around the hero
