war stomp type spell with jass

[Viikuna]

Remember to A) Set spell mana cost to 0 B) Set spell casting time to 0 C) Set dummies casting animation time thingies to 0 D) Make sure that your dummy has sight on target E) Make sure that your dummy is inside spell casting range F) Everything else I forgot to say

Like usually, it works if you do it right.

And you should use only 1 dummy for stunning only. Deal damage with triggers, so caster gets credit from kill, etc.

It doesn't even cast once.
All those things I've done also.
And shooting a Storm Bolt works fine instead of DamageTarget() because the dummy is the casting player's unit.

 

[Viikuna]

And it totally fucks up when you try to get killing unit for some other spell..

Wait, I uploads a testmap.


edit. AssAssTidies. ( This test map contains a vJassed WarStomp )

 

[WolfieeifloW]

I've never had a problem with it.
Plus damaging the target is inaccurate since it damages the target instantly.
Unless you do some kind of projectile system which for something like this is totally unneeded.

 

[Viikuna]

Well, for example a spell that gives mana to your hero everytime he kills a unit would fail. ( Example lamely taken from DotA )

And test map is up now. Feel free to test one dummy method in action.

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Ahh I see what you mean now.

I don't get your test map at all but I did my own test and I see .

 

[Viikuna]

Using one dummy is the best way, unless you need your dummy to channel something.

In that case you need more of them, but you should still recycle them, because CreateUnit is slow with many o´s.

I couldn't get one dummy to work for some reason.

[Viikuna]

That probably because you create your dummy in point GetUnitX(null) , GetUnitY(null)

Just check my testmap. It does this all correctly.

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Ahh yeah.
It still only casts it on one person though.
Oh well...
