WoW Spell Triggering - Immolate

[DeathWing]

Hello, I'm kinda new here but not new in WE.

I have problem with DoT spell (Damage over Time) used by Warlocks in World of Warcraft.

Spell has duration of 15 seconds but cooldown is 6 seconds and problem is: If when it affects one unit and then I'll cast it on another old one stops taking damage.
I need it affect all units that will be targeted by it for full of its duration.

Discription of spell: Ignites target enemy causing X intial damage and then Y damage over 15 seconds. [|cffffcc00Damage over time is increased by spell power.|r]

Spell power is given from items and abilities and thats a variable.
Variables:

Here are my triggers.
(My World Editor is in polish so I tried to change all polish words to english ones.)
Setup trigger (sets caster, target and damage.)

Hope You can help me.

 

[W!†A_cRaft]

Hello, first of all I can help you if you decide to remake the ability not to do 20% of the damage dealt but instead calculate the damage at the tick.... the point is that i have been making the same ability and it worked fine (although without being precise, it might have ticked 1 more or less times but what the heck.)

So if you want my help il post you a trigger I made.

 

[DeathWing]

But will your ability work for unlimited number of casting units and unlimited number of targets at same time? If yes, I'll be very happy if you'll post here trigger.

And about your advice: I'll try

 

[W!†A_cRaft]

My ability will fuction properly for all players as long as there is only 1 Immolate caster per player/ made it for arena so you only control 1 hero.


About the targets the number is not unlimited as the ability lasts 12 seconds and you are going to have some trouble casting it on 100000000000 untis within the period

Kidding ofcourse
Yes it is multi target fuctionable.

W8 a sec I'l write it down, need to find the map.

It's not MUI. Immolate DoT is only doing stuff for ONE unit (whenever you recast the spell, Immolate_Count increases, meaning that the trigger moves onto a new unit.

That was the problem I met cuz I figured out that effect you're saying about.

Btw, what means exacly MUI? (Manual User Interface?)

 

[Kazuga]

MUI stands for "Multi Unit Instanceble" meaning that more than one unit can use it at once.

YES I KNOW IT IS THE MOST COMPLICATED TRIGGER YOU EVER SAW.....oh well it is the way I do things.....

Also check for leaks .... i dotn remember did i remove em.

GLHF

 

[DeathWing]

YES I KNOW IT IS THE MOST COMPLICATED TRIGGER YOU EVER SAW.....oh well it is the way I do things.....

nahhh, sometimes I make longer ones

Curse of Agony you say? Gr8 - That spell i were also going to make

I'll be more happy if you could list all variables used and their types so i can make them easy But anyway I'll try to find them in trigger.

Anyway thank you very much for help.

+Rep from me for ya

 

[W!†A_cRaft]

Here is your list of variables:

CoAGroup = Unit Group Array, array represents the player number
PlayerSelectedHero = Unit Array, array represents the player number
AgonyTarget = Unit Array, array represents the number of player (caster of immolate)
AbilityUsePoint[3] = Point Array, array refers to the point in order to differ them from other ability points. This is just made to clear the leakage, make them as you like.
AgonyDamageTick = Real Array, array represents the number of player (caster of immolate)


I think that these are all of them...

If you happen to have trouble with some other wow abilities feel free to call

 

[DeathWing]

       [B] Unit - Add Curse of Agony DUMMY to (Last created unit)[/B]
        Unit - Add a 1.50 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack (Target unit of ability being cast)

Bolded fragemnt is useless due to that this unit is just attacking target of ability being cast and isn't casting that dummy spell. I'm right? ^^

About leaks - I see some but I'll remove them after I'll do a working trigger

 

[Flare]

Not necessarily. Curse of Agony DUMMY could be a passive ability, not every ability that you add must be active

 

[DeathWing]

If its a passive ability so for what dummy needs it? It could create effect at positon of dummy but I can do same thing using Specjal Effect actions or spell's Target, Caster etc attachment points.

I saw u used If, then, esle function for every lvl - damn, my spell has 20 lvls and I need make two same spells with just other damage lol.

 

[W!†A_cRaft]

Curse of agony dummy is a passive ability, a one made from slow poison, but any ability that leave a buff upon attack will work,

It lasts for the duration of the ability (in my case 24 in your 15 seconds) and it is used to determin which unit is to be added to the group. Dummy has 10 seconds cooldown on attack in order not to attack more than 1 unit in it's brief life time (1.5 sec) and has no missle animation.

It is used as a Marker

 

[DeathWing]

So, as for me I don't need dummy unit to add buff so i can leave just in that trigger things that set up variables?

Also in third trigger i see Arrays like that [Player number of (owner of triggering unit)] but theres no triggering unit in that trigger cause its activated every X seconds.

Lots of things to fix but I think they'll just make trigger shorter.

 

[W!†A_cRaft]

The trigger works fine I can tell you that for a 100% sure..... at least it worked when i was making the map....

I dont know why when or how but the damage is set correctly

THOUGHT I THINK that it should be changed to PlayerNumber(Owner of (PlayerSelectedHero[Intriger A])))

If you want i will give you a map where the ability is and test it to see.

EDIT: OR if you dont want to bother with my spell than basicly you gotten the point of making DoT spells VIA triggers, you know adding units to groups and damaging them as a group.

 

[hasslarn]

hey i made this spell my self

if u want u dont need to trigger it just do like this

Base it on the spell "Shadow Strike"
and change the buff and name
and damage over time and stuffs like that

 

[W!†A_cRaft]

Here is a tip, there is a reson the solution wasnt made like this......

what are you going to do when you want more than one ability like that in the map... 2 shadow strikes??? It wont do, because the buffs would get overstacked.....

PLUS:

I had a realy bad experiance with shadowstrike so far..... it happens to me sometimes that it instantly kills a unit, dunno why.

 

[Leve]

Wouldn't it be easier to just pick every unit with the buff and periodically deal damage? Like every 3 seconds of game pick every unit with buff Immolate and deal damage?
EDIT: Sry this is an really old thread..didn't see it
