Spell wont target trees.

[Holla.]

Ok this is a REALLY quick question, and im probably missing something quite big but whatever.
I have a couple spells in a tree tag varient im making, and the only one that seems to be able to damage trees is flamestrike.
hear me out, ok i have my spell, war stomp per say. I make the targets allowed tab - Tree, ground, structure, enemy, debris and whatever else.
problem is, i use it and it doesn't do anything to trees. (Yes i made sure the damage was enough to kill the tree)
Any ideas?
i also had problems with a shockwave varient (varient of the "shockwave" spell, it just shoots fire not a shockwave) and a cone of fire varient (exactly the same as the original cone of fire but hurts trees, well i want it to)

 

[Nherwyziant]

Trigger it :/

About the first question, you can pick a group around you when you cast the war stomp but it must a consitions (Matching unit is A tree(or destructible)) equal to true, then you kill the picked unit.

For the other be more specific

 

[Holla.]

Is that seriously the reply i get, i mean honestly. What if i really dont want to trigger all my spells that target trees. What if i want to find the one thing thats a problem

sorry for being rude.

Sometimes you have to be a man and trigger it, not every spell in world editor that is pre-made will kill trees even tho you set it to damage trees, etc..

 

[Holla.]

I think i tested it enough to realise that now, problem is im not too great at triggers so could someone give me a hand for those two spells.

(also how do you set a condition for level of an ability? I mean like: condition - level of ability being cast or whatever)

 

[Carnerox]

• War Stomp
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to (==) War Stomp
  • Actions
    • Set Caster = (Triggering unit)
    • Destructible - Pick every destructible within 300.00 of (Position of Caster) and do (Destructible - Kill (Picked destructible))

Caster
Unit
Array(No)

just change around the range of the stomp to fit how you want it.

 

[Moridin]

You could also change the 300.00 in that trigger^ to :

____ x Level of War Stomp for (Triggering unit)

This will allow you to scale up the damage radius for each level of war stomp.

 

[Holla.]

thankyou, and please keep talking. I have a trigger like that already but i dont know how to add the "level of ability being cast" option in conditions.

Also how would i do shockwave and breath of fire

 

[Moridin]

Open the drop-down menu and select -

"Unit - Level of Ability for Unit"

Then specify the individual fields.
---------

For shockwave and breath of fire, you would need equations to get the exact area that would get affected by the cone of shockwave/BoF.

Not sure of the equations right now.

 

[Holla.]

ok, whats BoF

also, the cone of fire would just be a triangle i think, and il try mess around with them, how do i get into this equations tab?

 

[Moridin]

There's no equations tab . You have to actually do the math for it.

BoF = Breath of Fire

For the cone....maybe something like:

Pick all units. Find the position of each unit. If the angle between the casting unit and the target's position is within a certain range then it gets added into a second group.

The second group (which consists of the units/doodads in the cone) is there to mark which trees to destroy.

 

[Holla.]

Bump!

I still dont really know how to do the shockwave one and the breath of fire one, i have no idea how to go about this 'math' in trigger form. how do i get to it

I KNOW HOW TO DO THE LEVEL CONDITION OH YEAH. JUST FOUND OUT.

• War stomp
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Casting unit)) Equal to Infernal Agi
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to |cffb22222War Stomp|r
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
      • Then - Actions
        • Destructible - Pick every destructible within 250.00 of (Position of (Casting unit)) and do (Destructible - Kill (Picked destructible))
      • Else - Actions

this is what i have so far for war stomp. and is the kind of style i want the other triggers done in. but with different kill radius's in diff directions obviously.

(the else actions will be another if then else, for levels 2 and three)

also last thing, how do you remove a certain amount of life from a destructible by trigger?
