[Spell] Triggered Locust Swarm

[Chocobo]

For the thread http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=45018

I made a Triggered Locust Swarm, in which you can refer to each locust unit using [((((Custom value of (Triggering unit)) x 81) + ((<Xst unit) - 1)) mod 81)], I am currently working to get it to work perfectly.

This ability works at half, dummy units never gets removed at end. Someone knows how to do that?

Here is the triggers required :

Base Trigger
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Triggered Locust Swarm 
    Actions
        Set CurrentRegister = (CurrentRegister + 1)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                CurrentRegister Equal to 101
            Then - Actions
                Set CurrentRegister = 1
            Else - Actions
        Unit - Set the custom value of (Triggering unit) to CurrentRegister
        Set GetTriggerUnit[CurrentRegister] = (Triggering unit)
        -------- MODIFY WHATEVER NOW --------
        Set SwarmAmount[CurrentRegister] = 20

        Set LifeStole[CurrentRegister] = 0.75
        Set SwarmUnitId[CurrentRegister] = Infestation
        Set SwarmDistance[CurrentRegister] = 1000.00
        Set UsePreAcquirement[CurrentRegister] = True
        Set AcquirementDistance[CurrentRegister] = 0.00
        Set SeekIfBelow[CurrentRegister] = False

A file is attached to the post so you can download it.

The Triggered Locust Swarm is able to handle 100 casters, each having a capacity of 81 locust units.

Uh please make it so that it doesn't require WEU.

 

[Sooda]

Anyway it looks nice. I didn' t get it why there were two Locust Swarms.. then I realized it was for comparing, silly me Nice work !

 

[Sim]

And - All (Conditions) are true
Conditions
(Custom value of (Triggering unit)) Equal to 0
(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to SwarmUnitId[(Custom value of (Triggering unit))]

Conditions up there are already considered "And" conditions. You can remove the "and" part.

(Custom value of (Triggering unit)) Equal to 0
(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to SwarmUnitId[(Custom value of (Triggering unit))]

Ok, didn't see I wrote And in normal conditions.


For that line :

                Unit - Add a ((Distance between TrgPos[6] and TrgPos[7]) / (Current movement speed of SwarmUnits[((((Custom value of (Triggering unit)) x 81) + ((Integer B) - 1)) mod 81)])) second Generic expiration timer to SwarmUnits[((((Custom value of (Triggering unit)) x 81) + ((Integer B) - 1)) mod 81)]

Do you know what the problem in it? It never worked.

Uh please make it so that it doesn't require WEU

Hmm? I didn't use WEU. I only used WE Helper without the LikeWEU.dll. :nuts: Or am I wrong?

Anyway it looks nice. I didn' t get it why there were two Locust Swarms.. then I realized it was for comparing, silly me Nice work !

Two locust swarms : One for Triggered, one for Normal. See the big differance between them, but this works REALLY fine. Need to fix the duration problem for locust units.

> Or am I wrong?
Either that or something is seriously wrong with my editor.

Well if you simply disabled LikeWEU then that's not enough, vexorian figured out that disabling one plugin results in disabling something else...could be fixed in 1.6 though.

I'm going to upload a new map without this line.


Yes, you mean this line :

        Trigger - Destroy (This trigger)
