Spells - Making a Chain spell (GUI Version)

[Pawnable]

Helped me a LOT!!!!
Thanks.

 

[Andrewgosu]

Is this just me or does the chain in the demo map always target 2 units and deals 50 damage? Also it laggs the first time without a preloader. (Yeah, like Daelin said, it would be better to do this whole thing in jass)

Made a debug mode to test it out, type reset to set life and mana of all units to 100%.

You didn't introduce the smax, temppoint or tempgroup variables at all.. it was very confusing(and it still is) :S

In order to understand this tutorial you need basic knowledge about Gui/manipulating the trigger editor.

I think that includes variable initialization too. Go to the variable editor and add them from there.

When I put a wait inside the For Each Integer A from 1 to X... loop, everything after the first loop just stops working - nothing happens. Without the wait, it works (obviously everything happens instantly), but with the wait, only the first target is affected and then nothing happens.

I am using a wait 1 second rather than wait for condition, is that the problem?

 

[Amfidamant]

As far as I can remember, "wait's" don't work in loops.
That's the problem. Try to replace it with timers, yet, the code would get more complicated.

 

[Drunken_God]

waits do work in loops
but not in pick every unit or player group loops

 

[vypur85]

To make things clear, loops work fine in any Integer Loop (A or B). However, Integer A and B loops usually get interrupted or overwritten in another trigger. So to prevent this, a Custom Variable Integer Loop is used instead (which is also used in this tutorial).

So, change this:

For Each Integer A from 1 to X... loop

into this:

For Each Custom Integer Variable from 1 to X do

Nevermind, I fixed it.

        Unit Group - Remove all units from Alltargs

EDIT: Nevermind, found it, i made the most noob mistake ever...

Wait until ((((Triggering unit) has buff Mana Burn ) Equal to True) or (((Triggering unit) is dead) Equal to True)), checking every 0.10 seconds

And replaced with

Wait until (((Targ has buff Mana Burn ) Equal to True) or ((Targ is dead) Equal to True)), checking every 0.10 seconds

EDIT2: Now it wont bounce...
