trying to make a hard spell through triggers

[drumminforev]

i am trying to make a spell that will be like this

i cast a spell that summons 7 tentacles.

i want the tentacles to suround my hero in a circle, and whenever the hero moves, to have the tentacles stay surrounded around him, whether they teleport instantly or move with him.. and have them still be able to attack, like a shield of tentacles...

how can i do this? someone help with trigger please. if you can write the trigger or make a small test map with it in it i will appreciate it alot.

i think you definitely need 'Jass' !

Mission :
• Search the internet for some 'How to create spells with JASS',
• get a few weeks
• a lot of junk food and
• skill and you will have your spell ;-)

Make a aura with tentacles and have a trigger making so if a enemy comes next to you and you have that aura it does damage to the enemy. Actually make it the cl's move. I dunno if it will work because I just thought of it Change the animation and all that.

I'm currently looking through your map btw drumminforev

u can do this:

create a frenzy spell with no anything just a spell that spells, except witht the number of secs u want that thing to have

the do this:

trigger 1

event
unit begins casting an abillity
condition
abillity being cast is equal to frenzy
action
set TT-unit = Casting unit
unit - create one tentacle at point with offeset (bla,bla)
set TT[1] = last created unit

and then just carry on, the point with offestet is position of triggering unit


trigger 2

event
every 1.3 seconds
condition
action
Unit - move TT[1] to point with offest (300,100)
Unit - move TT[2] to point with offest (300,-100)
Unit - move TT[3] to point with offest (-300,100)
Unit - move TT[4] to point with offest (300,0)
Unit - move TT[5] to point with offest (300,0)

didnt want to make the last one but experiment with the coordinats

thank you so much for your help zoro ha it looks freakin awesome, works great too so far!

 

[drumminforev]

k it works great but it causes immense lag in game.. for the first 30 seconds its just fine but after that it lags so bad it almost crashes mine and everyone elses computer in the game..!

that trigger 2 is a periodic trigger, and I don't see it ending in any way. If that is the case, it probably is bogging down your whole game after awhile.

I don't have any solutions right now.....
