Hi everybody! I was trying to make a Taunt spell making the units around the caster ordered to attack the caster for a duration( the enemy can't stop attacking by ordering another action). I'm not so skilled at triggering so I searched for a similar spell in the web and found this one:

http://www.thehelper.net/threads/taunt-most-useless-ability-in-wc3-history.38628/
(the post made by the guy named Sim)

I tryed to copy that but now my wc3 crashes everytime I cast it near an enemy! (if I cast with no enemy nearby it doesn't crash).

"My" triggers:

Taunt
Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Taunt (Hero)
Actions
Set Taunt_Caster = (Triggering unit)
Set Taunt_Point = (Position of Taunt_Caster)
Trigger - Turn on Taunt Stun <gen>
Set Taunted_People = (Units within 450.00 of Taunt_Point matching ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of Taunt_Caster)) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) is Magic Immune) Equal to False)))
Wait (1.00 + (0.75 x (Real((Level of Taunt (Hero) for Taunt_Caster))))) seconds
Trigger - Turn off Taunt Stun <gen>
Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Taunted_People)
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Taunt_Point)

Taunt Stun
Events
Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
Conditions
((Triggering unit) is in Taunted_People) Equal to True
Actions
Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Attack Taunt_Caster

I will be glad for your help.

In the second trigger, add 'Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)' at the beginning of the action and 'Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)' after your order action.

I really don't understand why you turn it off and on and it keep working but... it's fine now! :D Thanks!

The reason is because there was infinite loop. Your action "Order unit to..." will fire the event "A unit is issued order...". This in turns triggers the order action again. And then fires the event again... and so on. And then the engine crashes.

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • 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
  • Varine Varine:
    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
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
