Heya i have a problem with this spell.
The meaning is to choose a random unit, Create a dummy at position of Random unit and use War stomp on it - which can stun others too and then do some single target damage on target too. I am running this with a channel spell. The problem is that when i use this spell it happens to all units not just one random, My special effect doesnt work and the regular warstomp effect doesnt show neither. And i thinks this is the last problem - it also makes a dummy for each unit - and i forgot how you remove dummys?
 
Instead of your problems, you have leaks dude

That wasn't helpful at all. At least tell him where he leaks.

First of all, I suggest using the "Starts the effect of an ability" rather than "Begins casting an ability". Secondly, may I ask where the unit group "SunderBlast" is set? The reason the special effect didn't show up is because you created the special effect in (Center of (Playable Map Area)). Try this trigger.

Trigger:
  • Misc Slow ward
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Dark Faith
    • Actions
      • Set CasterLoc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
      • Set UnitGroup = (Units within 512.00 of CasterLoc)
      • Set RandomTarget = (Random unit from UnitGroup)
      • Set RandomTargetLoc = (Position of RandomTarget)
      • Unit - Create 1 SunderDummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at RandomTargetLoc facing Default building facing degrees
      • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - War Stomp
      • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
      • Special Effect - Create a special effect at RandomTargetLoc using Abilities\Spells\Items\AIil\AIilTarget.mdl
      • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created Special Effect)
      • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage RandomTarget, dealing ((50.00 + ((Real((Level of (Triggering unit)))) x 33.33)) + 1.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Magic
      • Custom script: DestroyGroup(udg_UnitGroup)
      • Custom script: RemoveLocation(udg_RandomTargetLoc)
      • Custom script: RemoveLocation(udg_CasterLoc)


I removed all leaks and removed the dummies in this trigger.
 
Change
Trigger:
  • Set UnitGroup = (Units within 512.00 of CasterLoc)

to
Trigger:
  • Set UnitGroup = (Units within 512.00 of CasterLoc) matching (Owner of (matching unit) is an Enemy of (Owner of (Triggering Unit)) Equal to True and (Matching Unit) Not Equal to (Triggering Unit))


Sorry, freehanded. Basically, change the setting of unit group to unit group matching conditions. Then in the condition part, click "AND multiple condition" or something like that (I don't have WE now so it's roughly). Then for the first condition, under Boolean comparison, choose "Player - Player is an enemy of" and choose Owner of unit, matching unit, Owner of unit, triggering unit. Second condition, choose unit comparison, for the first unit choose matching unit and triggering unit for the latter.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
