"trample" spell

[810]

I want a siege engine to be able to activate an ability called "grinding wheel" or something, where it hurts any unit in front of it within a 300 radius, but doesn't hurt itself. I tried a trigger like this:

-Unit is issued move order

-Unit equal to siege engine

-do 100 damage per second in a 300 radius from position of triggering unit

This worked, but it hurt the siege engine and units anywhere around it. I want it to only hurt the units in front of it (and not itself). Is there any way to trigger this without JASS? If so please help.

make the siege engine invulnerable for a few seconds?

or how about:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 300 range of (Triggering Unit) matching ((((Matching Unit) is an enemy of (Triggering Unit) Equal to True) and (((Matching Unit) is A structure) Equal to True))
    Loop - Actions
        Unit - Cause (Triggering Unit) to damage (Picked Unit) dealing 100 damage of the attack type Siege and Damage type Normal

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 300 range of (Triggering Unit) matching ((((Matching Unit) is an enemy of (Triggering Unit) Equal to True) and ([B][COLOR="Red"]((Matching Unit) is A structure) Equal to True)[/COLOR][/B])

Why the structure condition Xenim? (Red Text)

well if that is if he wants to not damage buildings.

 

[Draphoelix]

Right now it does damage buildings.

That was my point xD
You want that to be False

Idk if this will work i dont have WE right now(patch 1.22) anyway try making a region the amount of range you want it to be. and then make a trigger that keeps that region in front of the seige engine. and then make another trigger to make A
every 5 seconds of game time
pick every unit in region and do action
loop actions
do damageto picked unit -(amount you want)

Sorry kinda sloppy If I had WE right now I would make the trigger for you and post it.

If you do that trigger anyways, it would basically just cast a fan of knives around you every time you move. So you could do that if you're having trouble. But...

I don't have world editor up, but I think you should do something like this...
Two triggers.

Trample Prime
E: Unit issues move order
C:
A:
Clear all units from Trample Group

Trample Active
E: Periodic event, .10 seconds, maybe?
C:
A:
Pick units within 250 of (units of type Horseman)
-If Picked Unit is in Trample Group equal to false, do Then, else do Else.
--Then:
---Unit - damage Picked Unit "X damage"
---Unit Group - Add Picked Unit unit to Trample Group
---Else

That should work, I think. If you're ordered to move rapidly however, it will do lots of damage, so you might want to put a cooldown time on the trigger. Also, there's leaks, eh. You can fix them if you plan to use this.
