Why doesn't the unit cast the ability?

[Evan1993]

I don't get it.
It cant be the wait because it is plenty long enough and it cant be the unit because it gets the ability...

function Trig_Hunger_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A07L' ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction
function Trig_Hunger_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit u
    set u =  GetSpellTargetUnit()
    call UnitAddAbility( u,  'A032')
    call IssueImmediateOrderById( u , 'A032' )
    call PolledWait (1.50)
    call UnitRemoveAbility( u, 'A032'  )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Hunger takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Hunger = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Hunger, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_CAST )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Hunger, Condition( function Trig_Hunger_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Hunger, function Trig_Hunger_Actions )
endfunction

Try replacing

call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Hunger, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_CAST )

with

call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Hunger, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )

 

[Evan1993]

Still the same.

 

[Dino.pl]

Does the unit get the ability?

 

[Evan1993]

Yes....it did the first time.

 

[Dino.pl]

Then

call IssueImmediateOrderById( u , 'A032' )

must be wrong.
Make it in GUI and then convert it.

 

[Evan1993]

Its not a GUI function

 

[Dino.pl]

Its not a GUI function

REALLY? (sarcasm)
Make a new trigger, make the action and convert it.

 

[Evan1993]

If I think I know what your saying then I'd get this IssueImmediateOrderBJ witch is not what I what. I'm useing an item ability so that it whould not work.

 

[Dino.pl]

What I'm trying to say:
Try to make the function in GUI - check if it works by running the trigger withing your JASS function.
If it does, convert it to custom text and copy into the JASS trigger.

 

[Evan1993]

um, like this?
I tested it and it didn't work.

HungerGUI
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Hunger 
    Actions
        Custom script:   local unit u
        Custom script:   set u =  GetSpellTargetUnit()
        Custom script:   set udg_LOCALGUI = u
        Unit - Add Life Feed  to LOCALGUI
        Custom script:   call IssueImmediateOrderById( u , 'A032' )
        Wait 2.00 seconds
        Custom script:   set udg_LOCALGUI = u
        Unit - Remove Life Feed  from LOCALGUI

 

[Dino.pl]

Um, no, not like this.
If you don't get any help, I'll post a working trigger tomorrow.

 

[Evan1993]

Ok thanks.

IssueImmediateOrderById doesn't take the ability id as an argument, it takes another integer.

To find out what this integer is give the ability to a unit, make this trigger:

    Events
        Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
        Unit - A unit Is issued an order targets a point
        Unit - A unit Is issued an order targets an object
    Conditions
    Actions
        Custom script:   call BJDebugMsg( I2S( GetIssuedOrderId() ) )

Then order that unit to cast the spell youself.

The numer that pop up on the screen is what you should write insteed of the 'A032' in the IssueImmediateOrderById function.

 

[Evan1993]

Thanks!

an idea I had that would be much better then you current set up

create a local trigger that runs when the units cast an ability, if it is equal to the ability u added, then remove the ability

thus there is no wait, and it will look better
