Heres a spell that is like Tinki's GUI Time Stop, but its in vJASS and actually makes a effect at the enemy units inside the AoE.

Time Stop - Freezes the passage of time for enemy units inside a AoE, causing them to be unable to move.

The problem is, it doesnt work. The AbilId is correct and I've checked the ability a bunch of times now.. If anyone helps, +rep.
JASS:
    scope TimeStop
    globals
        private constant integer AbilId = 'A00B'
    endglobals
    
    private function Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
        return GetSpellAbilityId() == AbilId
    endfunction
    
    private function TimeStopConditions takes nothing returns boolean
        return IsUnitType(GetFilterUnit(), UNIT_TYPE_MAGIC_IMMUNE) == false and IsUnitType(GetFilterUnit(),UNIT_TYPE_DEAD) == false

        call GroupEnumUnitsInRange(g, x, y, 200,Condition(function TimeStopConditions))
        loop
            set PickedUnit = FirstOfGroup(g)
            exitwhen PickedUnit == null

Try putting BJDebug msgs around the code to see where its stopping.

p.s. Your method for this spell is terrible. Stay away from TriggerSleepAction and use timers!

You never create group g and group g2, plus you have no actions in Callback function.

> if IsUnitEnemy(PickedUnit,GetOwningPlayer(c)) then
Instead, why not put this in the TimeStopConditions function?

You need to remove your location and group at the end or it will leak. :)

> Stay away from TriggerSleepAction and use timers!
True, but in this situation (2+ seconds wait) TriggerSleepAction is fine. No need to create a struct, store data and such...

Here's your code. It should work now.. Haven't tested it.
JASS:

scope TimeStop

globals
    private constant integer AbilId = 'A00B'
endglobals
    
private function Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == AbilId
endfunction
    
private function TimeStopConditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return IsUnitType(GetFilterUnit(), UNIT_TYPE_MAGIC_IMMUNE) == false and IsUnitType(GetFilterUnit(),UNIT_TYPE_DEAD) == false and IsUnitEnemy(GetFilterUnit(),GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit())) == true
endfunction

private function Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local group g = CreateGroup()
    local group g2 = CreateGroup()
    local unit c = GetTriggerUnit()
    local unit pickedunit
    local location loc = GetSpellTargetLoc()
    local real x
    local real y
    local integer level = GetUnitAbilityLevel(c, AbilId)
    call GroupEnumUnitsInRangeOfLoc(g, loc, 200,Condition(function TimeStopConditions))
    call RemoveLocation(loc)
    loop
        set pickedunit = FirstOfGroup(g)
        exitwhen pickedunit == null
        set x = GetUnitX(pickedunit)
        set y = GetUnitY(pickedunit)
        call DestroyEffect(AddSpecialEffect("Abilities\\Weapons\\WingedSerpentMissile\\WingedSerpentMissile.mdl", x, y))
        call SetUnitTimeScale(pickedunit, 0)
        call PauseUnit(pickedunit, true)
        call GroupAddUnit(g2, pickedunit)
        call GroupRemoveUnit(g, pickedunit)
    endloop
    call DestroyGroup(g)
    call TriggerSleepAction(2+level)
    loop
        set pickedunit = FirstOfGroup(g2)
        exitwhen pickedunit == null
        set x = GetUnitX(pickedunit)
        set x = GetUnitY(pickedunit)
        call SetUnitTimeScale(pickedunit, 100)
        call PauseUnit(pickedunit, false)

  • 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.
