Triggering Levelable spells?

[Toriad]

Is there an easier way to get this same effect? In gui

like make it so that when you level up an ability the dummys auto learn the same level dummy ability.

Hmmm... I don't really understand what you're doing (it's a long trigger ). Why not use:

Unit - Set Unit - Set level of ShatterEarth(Dummy)  for (Last created unit) to [B](Level of Shatter Earth for (Triggering unit))[/B]

Is this what you want? And I don't think your trigger might work. Using wait then setting variable might not be a good idea. To make it MUI, try using this:

    Actions
        Wait 0.25 seconds
        Set Temp_Caster = ([B]Triggering[/B] unit)

And you have another wait in the integer loop. Waits are not good to make something MUI. Sometimes, it won't even work.

 

[Toriad]

I wont have to worry about MUI, because this is a hero ability, and only one person can be a hero at a time... So if i got that right, MUI wont be an issue? correct?

 

[vypur85]

Nope. MUI won't be an issue.

Waits are not good to make something MUI. Sometimes, it won't even work.

But it's also important to ensure that your trigger works in the first place. Some Event Responses (such as Casting unit, Target unit ability being cast... etc etc) will not make it past waits. Always use 'Triggering unit' whenever possible. Whenever not possible, set them into variables before the wait. Then use the variable later in the remaining actions.

Example:

Spoiler

This may not work

    Actions
        Wait 0.25 seconds
        Set Temp_Caster = (Casting unit)

This may work

    Actions
        Set Temp_Caster = (Casting unit)
        Wait 0.25 seconds

Thats what I try to do and all of these spells work. Cept for the ultimate, because no one can tell me how to make a unit appear half underground but once thats done I will have completed 1 hero outta 20 completely

Also is there a way to unleak a position of Blah without using variables, because I dont want to make 100 Temp_Points and then clear them all..

 

[vypur85]

> unleak a position of Blah without using variables

Not possible. Could be possible for Unit Group though. But I advice using variables instead.


> I dont want to make 100 Temp_Points

No problem in this. Variables can be used over and over again. I'm quite sure in a single trigger, you only need around 3 point variables. So, you just need to create 3 point variables with different names. These variables can be used in other trigger as well without causing any problems. Just copy and paste the removal scripts here and there.


> appear half underground

This is not possible via trigger. You cannot 'bury' a unit or making a unit fly into the ground. But you can create a unit who is initially underground. You just need to set the Flying Height and Minimum Flying Height to a negative value. When you create the unit, they appear underground.

 

[Toriad]

is there an easy way to change the model of a unit? So I could make a dummy unit, hide the hero, change dummy unit model into the hero, bury the dummy then morph it back with the damage?

 

[Renendaru]

Have it originally with the model, then to make it appear a dummy. You can set it's trans to 100%, and remove shadow.
