Triggering need help 3 GUI spells

04-30-2008, 10:05 PM

Trying to make a map with some dota skills for practice, it's overdone but it is good practice, did it in GUI

At lvl 1, the real spell increases allies by 2 armor and enemies by 2 armor, but instead it increased allies by 4 and enemies by 4.

Aura:

Events

Unit - rawr 0067 <gen> Learns a skill

Conditions

Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

(Level of Sight of the King for rawr 0067 <gen>) Equal to 1

Then - Actions

Unit - Create 1 shockwave for Player 1 (Red) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

Set aura = (Last created unit)

Unit - Add Sight of the King dummy1 to aura

Trigger - Turn on Move to hero <gen>

Else - Actions

If ((Level of Sight of the King for rawr 0067 <gen>) Equal to 2) then do (Unit - Increase level of Sight of the King dummy1 for aura) else do (Do nothing)

If ((Level of Sight of the King for rawr 0067 <gen>) Equal to 3) then do (Unit - Increase level of Sight of the King dummy1 for aura) else do (Do nothing)

It doesn't stomp at the end for some weird reason, got another trigger to move the hero and another trigger to set variables. Works fine everywhere cept the stomp by dummy.

Leap2:

Events

Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to Jump

Actions

Unit - Pause Leaper

Unit - Turn collision for Leaper Off

Animation - Change Leaper's animation speed to 70.00% of its original speed

Unit - Add War Stomp to (Last created unit)

And finally, this one, i have no idea how to check if there is no more units left in the 512 area radius. Also I plan to change the loop trigger to a variable but I have no idea how would that work out and the variable for the check for the attack detection.

For the stomp stuff.... You'll have to do some object editing with the dummy unit it self. I think its the cast backswing or something, I can't exactly remember the exact fields so yeah.

For the first spell wouldn't it be easier just to use the Spellbook trick?... If you know what I'm talking about, then just use what you have but instead level up the auras not the spellbook.

And I'm just too lazy to read the third one

Raydude	nope, i made sure my dummy unit has 0 everything, no shadow, no casting swings no nothing, i remember cause i had that problem be4 and no idea about the spellbook trick

Av3n	Find the spellbook part here: http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=81742 -Av3n

Pyrogasm	Try removing the move ('Amov') ability from the dummy units... Dusk tried to tell me that was a useful trick, though I've never done it.

Raydude

the spell books helps in looking little prettier...but same problem, both the aura's effect works on allies and enemies giving 2x the bonus/negative armor

EDIT!! found another HUGE problem, farther allied units get away from the hero, they get armor that keeps jumping from 2 and 6, i tried putting the abilities seperately onto 2 units, same effect

edit 2 : lol i found the problem....it was...dumb of me...cause i got lazy and copy and pasted the origin one and changed the amor to negative and who it effects and they got some same areas that made them buff 2x in a row, sometimes 3x, sry for teh trouble

edit 3 : pretty much fixed the aura and the leap, only problem i have left is the 3rd spell, it works fine and stuff except no idea how to check if no units left in the area to attack

Raydude	Ah thanks, I started testing all the spells and they all worked fine, but when I put them into real game play, the leap spell caused the hero to ignore pathing and started walking up cliffs and such, how to fix?

05-05-2008, 12:56 AM	#9
Pyrogasm	Well, you turned off his pathing at some point and you have to turn it back on: Trigger: Unit - Turn collision for (<Your Unit>) On Either that, or you forgot to remove the crow form ability after you finished the spell.

Raydude	Ah! reread the spell 3x and found "Unit- Turn collision for (Casting Unit) on", fixed, i suck at proof reading =D thanks a lot again!
