Targetted abilities.

Edit:

Okay, my skill theme has changed. What it needs to do is for every 6/5/4/3 spells cast within a certain range, only from enemies, the explodes dealing damage. I can do the explosion bit, no problem. I just can't can't do the first bit..

Hmm.. [your unit] would be under what.. Because you can only have "triggering unit" and target unit of ability being cast only refers to the Event - A Unit Begins Casting An Ability. Also, my skill idea has changed.

Use an integer variable to track the number of spells cast. and do actions accordingly.

Will this work? :/ I don't think it will tbh.

tommerbob · Jan 24, 2011

You can combine all of those If/Then/Else into one, and set the level of "Combust (Damage and Stun)" to the same level as the Combust ability, like this:

Trigger:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
- Loop - Actions
- Unit - Create 1 Spell Dummy for (Picked player) at (Position of (Picked unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
- Unit - Add Combust (Damage and Stun) to (Last created unit)
- Unit - Set level of Combust (Damage and Stun) for (Last created unit) to (Level of Combust for (Picked unit))
- Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - War Stomp
- Unit - Remove (Last created unit) from the game
- Set CombustCounter = 0

and then use another If/Then/Else for tracking the CombustCounter.

Also, you do not pick any players in this trigger, so (picked player) will not work.

The_Reaping · Jan 24, 2011

Eh, I can't figure it out.. It's just confusing me. :/ Could you post the entire code? if it's not too much to ask

I'll learn better from that.

tommerbob · Jan 24, 2011

Post a test map, its easier to work with.

The_Reaping · Jan 25, 2011

Alright.

tommerbob · Jan 25, 2011

I don't have time to look at it right at the moment, but I will later today. As soon as I can, I'll take a look at let you know.

Alright, thanks.

tommerbob · Jan 26, 2011

Okay sorry, I've been really busy today. I was planning on looking at it today, but real life came calling. I'll get to it tomorrow.

EDIT:

Okay I'm looking at the map right now. Just to clarify, do you want it to be MUI or does it matter?

tommerbob · Jan 26, 2011

(sorry for double post, forgot to mention I would just edit my last post)

Okay, it was hard to test the spell in your map because the enemies would rarely cast spells. But I changed the code a bit, it should be working correctly. I also added a debug line to track when the trigger runs, and how many the Combust Counts is at. You can easily remove that.

Trigger:

Combust Learned
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Learns a skill
- Conditions
  - (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Combust

  - Unit - Add Combust (Visuals) to (Triggering unit)
  - Unit - Set level of Combust (Visuals) for (Triggering unit) to (Level of Combust for (Triggering unit))
  - Set Combust_MaxCount = (7 - (Level of Combust for (Triggering unit)))
  - Trigger - Turn on Combust Counter <gen>

        Then - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Distance between (Position of (Picked unit)) and (Position of (Triggering unit))) Less than or equal to 400.00

        Unit - Set level of Combust (Damage and Stun) for (Last created unit) to (Level of Combust for (Picked unit))

I tested it.. But whenever the counter gets to the required amount.. it crashes :/ I made triggers to check when one of the heroes is attack and make him cast a spell.

So did you get it working? I'm a bit confused.

Nope :/ It crashes. I just meant I made a trigger to make creeps cast spells when attacked.

HydraRancher · Jan 27, 2011

It's because you are creating an infinite loop. [DEL]You forgot to add a condition to check if it is your ability being cast.[/DEL]

I mean you forgot to add a condition to check that it is NOT Warstomp.

Trigger:

Combust Counter
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
- Conditions
  - (Ability being cast) Not equal to Combust (Damage and Stun)
- Actions

Targetted abilities.
