Wait Condition Wont Work!

[TPOX]

I slimmed down the trigger to basic. When it does its thing and does wait until unit is 0 height then keep going but instead it just blows on through and does not wait at all.

What it is doing below is when i cast an ability it creates a dummy sets his height to heros height then makes height go down to 0 by 200 so its basically 2 seconds depends on how high u are which is why i can not have a wait time condition. After the condition it does its thing damaging area ect.

Destruction
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Destruction 
    Actions
        Set CastingUnit_Destruction = (Casting unit)
        Set TargetPoint = (Target point of ability being cast)
        Unit - Create 1 Destruction Dummy for (Owner of CastingUnit_Destruction) at (Position of CastingUnit_Destruction) facing TargetPoint
        Set DummyUnit_Destruction = (Last created unit)
        Animation - Change DummyUnit_Destruction flying height to (Current flying height of CastingUnit_Destruction) at 0.00
        Set HeightDistance = (Integer((Current flying height of DummyUnit_Destruction)))
        Animation - Change DummyUnit_Destruction flying height to 0.00 at 200.00
        Wait until ((Integer((Current flying height of DummyUnit_Destruction))) Equal to 0), checking every 1.00 seconds
        Unit - Kill DummyUnit_Destruction
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within (300.00 x (Real((Level of Destruction  for CastingUnit_Destruction)))) of TargetPoint matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of CastingUnit_Destruction)) Equal to True)) and do (Unit - Order CastingUnit_Destruction to damage (Picked unit) for ((Real(HeightDistance)) x ((0.50 x (Real((Level of Destruction  for CastingUnit_Destruction)))) + 0.50)) using attack type Normal and damage type Universal.)
        Set CastingUnit_Destruction = No unit
        Set TargetPoint = (Target point of ability being cast)
        Set DummyUnit_Destruction = No unit
        Set HeightDistance = 0

try less than or = 0

;/ nope still wont work

theres gotta be something im doing wrong with this

Wait until ((Integer((Current flying height of DummyUnit_Destruction))) Less than or equal to 0), checking every 1.00 seconds

Y is the height change rate at 0? does the unit even go in the air?

 

[TPOX]

k...
the dummy unit is created and its height is set to the height the caster is
then the dummy unit is set to 0 height at 200 so it looks like it is falling overtime which it is and once it hits the ground at 0 it is supposed to continue the rest of the actions.

as for u asked why the rate is 0, its because it will immediately take dummy to the height of casting unit. Even if i change it to 1000 rate, the wait condition still wont work.

EDIT- Yes the dummy unit goes into the air and it DOES look like its falling and it falls from hero to the ground correctly but i have to disable kill unit and the rest of the actions just blow on through so like right when i cast it, it does the damage instead of waiting till dummys height is 0.

Y dont you just remove it while its in the air? The Dummy Dest.

 

[TPOX]

do what? lol

the dummy unit is created and then one animation sets it to the height of the caster
then it creates a variable for that height for later use
then it does another animation making the dummy unit go to 0 height
then the condition that wont work

 

[mase]

Y dont you give it the ability Stone form then when its done casting it you kill it.

 

[TPOX]

what are you talking about lol
everything works except THAT wait condition
if i set a timed wait it works fine but the timing is off because of the different height u can be while casting the ability.

my problem is the wait condition everything else works fine ;/

> the timing is off because of the different height

wait = (height / 100.00) + 1 seconds


Have you tried something higher than 0? Like, for example, 10?

Or, replace that wait with something like:
for each integer A from 1 to 10
game - display current height
wait 0.5

To see what's actually going on with that unit.

;/ why wont the wait condition work?
I already checked out the dummy unit and it is falling correctly and u can even see it fall and it goes up to current hero height immediately then to 0 at 200.

I dont think a wait (timed seconds) would work would it? It wouldnt be exact.

Correct me if im wrong tho, i just thought a wait for condition would be more exact and correct.

 

[TPOX]

Wait ((Real(HeightDistance)) / 200.00) seconds

that works dunno how exact it is but i figured since the rate is 200 that it falls wait the height it was divided by the rate it is falling = the time it takes to hit 0.

 

[the Lumpy]

I think that the unit is instantly considered to be at 0 height even though the animation of it is still playing. That's just a guess, though.

ya i figured that out... i got it working good now though
