Augh... can't get this to work...:banghead: Help me please. Here's the trigger:

Code: 
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Hellfire 
    Actions
        Set CasterNova = (Triggering unit)
        Set NovaReal = 0.00
        Set NovaLoc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Create 1 Dummycaster for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at NovaLoc facing Default building facing degrees
                Unit - Turn collision for (Last created unit) Off
                Unit - Add Hellfire (dummy)  to (Last created unit)
                Unit - Set level of Hellfire (dummy)  for (Last created unit) to (Level of Hellfire  for (Triggering unit))
                Set NovaLocOffset[(Integer A)] = (NovaLoc offset by 700.00 towards NovaReal degrees)
                Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave NovaLocOffset[(Integer A)]
                Set NovaReal = (NovaReal + (360.00 / 8.00))
                Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_NovaLocOffset[bj_forLoopAIndex])
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_NovaLoc)

Sorry if this topic is too old to be revived, but since I was following this guide, I figure I should post it in here.

Can you guys figure out a war stomp type nova.


EXECPT, instead of multiple war stomps all over, have just one war stomp that has an animation that has, say... a 1000 distance?

@Julian4life
- I never said it was a requirement that all skills in the nova should be the same. You could also use war stomp on the nearer distance, thunder clap on the medial distance, and Detonate in the further distance.

@Megika
- Make sure that your dummy spell is based on shockwave.. If not, then change the field *Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave* to the skill your dummy is based on. For example, if the dummy is based on impale, then change it to "Undead Crypt Lord - Impale". If it is based on carrion swarm, then change it as well !

-Make sure the casting range is at 99999, no mana cost, no cooldown, and that the target allowed is present.. (this usually only works on enemies if it is a negative type ability)

It's something like this, I'm really unsure since I'm too lazy to check:

Trigger:
  • Poison Nova Setup
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions

      • Set Real[99] = 0.00
      • Set CasterVariable = (Casting unit)
      • Set Boolean[1] = True
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set CasLocOffset = (FrostOrbCasLoc offset by 190.00 towards Real[1] degrees)
          • Unit - Create 1 <dummy unit as missile> for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at CasLocOffset facing Real[1]
          • Unit - Turn collision for (Last created unit) Off
          • Set DummyUnit[(Integer A)] = (Last created unit)
          • Set Real[99] = (Real[99] + (360.00 / 5.00))
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_CasLoc)


Trigger:
  • Poison Nova Effects
    • Events
      • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
      • Boolean Equal to True
    • Actions
      • Set Real[99] = 0.00
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set Point[Integer A] = (Position of DummyUnit[IntegerA])
          • Set PointOffset[Integer A] = (Point[Integer A] offset by 23.00 towards Real[99] degrees)
          • Set Real[Integer A] = (Real[Integer A] + 23.00)
          • Unit - Move DummyUnit[Integer A] instantly to PointOffset[IntegerA], facing Real[1] degrees
          • Set UnitGroup[Integer A] = (Units within 200.00 of PointOffset[Integer A] matching ((((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Not equal to True) and (((Matching unit) is Magic Immune) Not equal to True))) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner
          • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup[Integer A] and do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • Unit - Create 1 <dummy unit as caster> for (Owner of CasterVariable) at PointOffset[Integer A] facing Default building facing degrees
              • Unit - Add <your dummy ability> to (Last created unit)
              • Unit - Set level of <your dummy ability> for (Last created unit) to (Level of <your ability - Poison Nova> for CasterVariable)
              • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Alchemist - Acid Bomb (Picked Unit)
              • Unit - Add a 11.00 second Generic expiration timer for (Last created unit)
              • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to UnitGroup[99]

              • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_PointOffset[bj_forLoopAIndex])
              • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                • If - Conditions
                  • Real[Integer A] Greater than or equal to 750.00
                • Then - Actions
                  • Unit - Kill Unit[Integer A]
                  • Set Boolean = False
                  • Unit Group - Remove all units from UnitGroup[99]
                  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_UnitGroup[99])
                • Else - Actions



You should remember that you dummy unit must die AFTER the effects of the Poison is done (the dps). If not, the kill is not recorded as yours but to an unknown player. This is an essential to triggers that has conditions regarding a player killing units and also it interferes with the bounty.

If this works, please do tell..

It doesnt work, when i want to activate the 2nd Trigger, this message pops up
call RemoveLocation(udg_PointOffset[bj_forLoopAIndex]):banghead:
Its a script error, the world editor tells me. Maybe ucan make this in a Map? I dont know what is wrong, you or me, just this many things confuse me a bit.
btw i tried it on my map, i mean not the full trigger, only since Unit - Create 1 <dummy unit as caster> for (Owner of CasterVariable) at PointOffset[Integer A]
And my whole wc3 crashed i had to restart my computer, so it would be very nice if you make it on a map and upload it.

EDITH SAYS: My problems are solved, you dont need to do sth for me, but ty for the other stuff)))

Something like that.

funny, but I can't follow your Massive Impale example (linear nova spell) although I've follow all of your example.

the massive impale always become a weird impale.

when I cast massive impale (hero) to east then the dummy impale always be casted on west....

HELP PLZ...

Just curious, What is "real" variable suppose to do?
Click to expand...
A real variable (in wc3) is any number with a decimal.

EX:

0.0246
1.100
4.542
2.000

Also, angles and distances in wc3 are innately real values, not integers, because they often contain decimals.

You'll have to post your triggers or your map, or we can't find what's wrong.

  • Varine Varine:

    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that

    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
