regions

[forgorp]

I want a region to move when my hero casts a spell to the are the spell is casted at, but for some reason it wont move, heres my trigger

Move Region
Event
unit - begins casting an ability
conditions
(ability being cast) is equal to FlameStrike
Actions
Region - Center (Fire Mage heal <gen>) on (Target point of ability being cast)

whenever i use that it doesnt move, i gave myself the ability to see the region so i could tell if it did move or not, and i have also tried
unit - begins channeling an ability

Use 'Starts the effect of an ability' VERY RARELY should you need 'Starts casting', if you press S on the unit, the trigger will fire but he will not cast.

alright i changed it but the region is still stayin in the same spot

:banghead:

instead of

Region - Center (Fire Mage heal <gen>) on (Target point of ability being cast)

change it to

Region - Move (Fire Mage heal <gen>) to (Target point of ability being cast)

 

[forgorp]

how do u do that?
theres only one choice you can make with regions under action, and its the move selection. i cannot change the Center to Move, unless its a custom type script, if so then i dont know how to do it, i tried copy and pasting what you placed into a custom script, but thats not working eather

does your spell target the ground? if it targets a unit then you need to use (position of (target of ability being cast))

 

[forgorp]

no its flamestrike, so it hits the ground

Perhaps if you try changing the event to when a unit finishes casting an ability. It shouldnt really make a difference but you never know...

i gave myself the ability to see the region so i could tell if it did move or not

Did you use a visibility modifier? I think they won't move even if the region moves.

yeah i did, but my skill is so that if a person runs into the flamestrike, they get full health, but i damage the unit im tryin to hurt, then throw him in the fire and he dont heal
