Hello I got a mysterious problem here:

trigger

event any unit enters region bomb

condition unit type of unit is bomb
condition triggering unit has behavior bomb counting down false

action add 1 behavior bomb counting down at triggering unit
action create text tag with the text '3' at position of triggering unit...
action set the velocity of text tag...
action wait 1.5 game seconds
action destroy last created text tag
action create text tag with the text '2' at position of triggering unit...
action set the velocity of text tag...
action wait 1.5 game seconds
action destroy last created text tag
action create text tag with the text '1' at position of triggering unit...
action set the velocity of text tag...
action wait 1.5 game seconds
action destroy last created text tag
action add 1 effect Bomb Explosion (Search) on triggering unit from triggering unit

I set a damage effect in the Bomb Explosion (Search) which deals 1000 damage


WHY does my unit not taking any damage ??
I am VERY SURE that:

- the search effect got radius 2
- the search tab in the search effect has invulnerable required
- the impact location in the targets tab has target point/unit
- the launch location in the targets tab has source unit
- my unit is close enough to the bomb (when testing)
- the damage has ALL FILTER TYPES on allowed

you're the king if you would figure out this problem

Is the unit that is supposed to take damage, invulnerable? Because it will ONLY take damage if it is invulnerable.

Why? Because "- the search tab in the search effect has invulnerable required". That means the target is REQUIRED to be invulnerable, for the search effect to target it.
 
yes I know, because my units are invulnerable, this is because I got problems in some other point of the game if I wont set them invulnerable

so again the question: WHY does my unit not taking any damage even if I move to the bomb
 
Afaik an invulnerable unit can't take damage from effects, only from triggers.
 
invulnerable units takes damage as long you trigger the effects to hit invulnerable targets, I've seen this before with splash damage in my tower defense my towers got killed because my bombs were damaging my invulnerable towers

never mind, I will find some work-arrounds (thanks anyway!!)

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
