Spell Problems

Confuse

Here's what it does:

~The target unit will randomly attack anything and it's uncontrollable, but after the effect runs out, it should stop attacking (if the target is a friend) or continue attacking (if it is an enemy).

I'm not exactly sure how the boolean hashtable conditions work, but an efficient way to find out why it isn't stopping is to use

Game - Display text to all players

..command.

Also, because you know that the problem is where the unit doesn't stop, you can narrow the possiblities to:
1) The conditions never not get satisfied, meaning the code never gets to the blocks where it orders the stop.
2) It gets to the block but the stop order doesn't work (highly unlikely).

Just run through those conditions and ensure that they really will give false once the spell is over.

 

[Gwafu]

Hmm, I think the periodic is the problem.
I set it to 0.50, it still don't stop.
I set it to 0.25, still don't
Set it to 0.15, and it goes crazy. Like it can't attack now, it's like the target is dancing and won't attack.

 

[Gwafu]

bump

 

[farold]

• Actions
  • Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
  • Unit - Unpause (Triggering unit)

Try this :thup:

 

[Gwafu]

Still doesn't stop.

 

[hgkjfhfdsj]

- disable/enable trigger in confusion 4 before ordering triggering unit to attack CofusionMainUnit (infinite loop)
- remove unit from group before ordering to stop (so it doesnt fire the order event(

 

[Gwafu]

What do you mean by disable? Where should I enable it and disable it?

 

[hgkjfhfdsj]

freehand:

• Confusion 4
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is in Confusion_UG) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set Confusion_MainUnit = (Load (Key target) of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Confusion_Hash)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Life of Confusion_MainUnit) Greater than (0.41 - 0.05)
      • Then - Actions
        • Wait 0.00 seconds
        • Disable (This Trigger)
        • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Attack Confusion_MainUnit
        • Enable (This Trigger)
      • Else - Actions

you probably wont need the wait in this case

• Else - Actions
  • Hashtable - Save Handle OfNo unit as (Key target) of (Key (Picked unit)) in Confusion_Hash
  • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from Confusion_UG //switch these 2
  • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Stop //switch these 2
  • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child (Key (Picked unit)) in Confusion_Hash

 

[Gwafu]

Still doesn't stop. :C

 

[hgkjfhfdsj]

mind posting sample map (easier to debug )

 

[Gwafu]

Sometimes, I hate the attachment limit.

There you go.

 

[hgkjfhfdsj]

so what was the problem again?
- purpose of damage event? i dont think a unit that is changing target every 1s will ever land a hit
- i suggest you set the target in Confusion 3 when 'key target is stored == false' rather than on damage
- switch turn on/off (off first then on)
- on buff removal, spell ends >> unit stops attacking
- Confusion_MainUnit in Confusion 4 will most likely be null

 

[Gwafu]

i suggest you set the target in Confusion 3 when 'key target is stored == false' rather than on damage

Care to explain?

switch turn on/off (off first then on)

Oh lol.

on buff removal, spell ends >> unit stops attacking

Dude, wait, what?

Confusion_MainUnit in Confusion 4 will most likely be null

I'll run more tests.



EDIT: Nevermind ._., managed to make it work.
