Set TargetP1 = (Units within 90.00 of ((Position of Pandaren) offset by 175.00 towards (Real(DirectionDegrees)) degrees))

For some reason, this DOES NOT add the ability to the units that are being harmed. Any idea why?

Dil999	I'm rusty with gui (and WE in general) but im pretty sure that (Picked Unit) only works when you use the action "Pick every unit in (...) and do actions:"

PenguinEmperor	I used that.

No, your "Add Pain to (picked unit)". It will not work because the actions are not like:
->UNIT GROUP
-> blah blah blah
-> more actions

and instead you used one line of an action. Make it actionS and it should be fine (remember to put that action under the action of the unit group, kinda confusing).

EDIT: Okay here, like this:

Trigger:

Melee Attack

Events - your event

Conditions - your condition

Actions

- other actions

Unit Group - Pick every unit in ([YOUR GROUP]) and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

- more actions

Basically you have to put the picked unit action into that loop.

PenguinEmperor	Okay, so I'd put the stuff that comes after "Add Pain" to where?

Pheonix-IV	You can only use picked unit inside a unit group loop. So you need to put the add pain part in the Loop - Actions part.

PenguinEmperor	And more action should be Do Nothing?

07-10-2008, 05:54 AM	#8
Pheonix-IV	No, More Actions should be the wait and the death animation stuff. Also, why are you turning the trigger off and then turning it back on?

Veev	I think there are issues with setting the units life below zero. You should damage the picked units instead using the owner of the caster so he gets credit for the kills.

Dil999	Veev is also right, you can't kill a unit by setting it's life. You should either damage it or detect if it's life will be <=0 and kill it instead.

Gorman	for sum reason your code isnt indented, so we cant see what is inside ur loop or not. WAIT! yeah u used the wrong unit group function. You used the "pick units in group and do actions" insted of "Pick units in group and do MULTIPLE actions", which allows you to do what you want. If youve figured that out then yay.

Okay, but it does infact kill stuff, do I dunno what you're talking about.

Anitarf	When you want to deal damage, then actually dealing damage is preferable to setting unit's life. What this means is you're not using the most agreeable way to deal damage. Also, you do a lot of weird stuff in other places. Then again, you're using GUI, so your code is not particularly agreeable either way.

Doesn't work at all now.

Anopob	Once again, you need to put the picked unit under the loop, not just "Actions" of the trigger but the Unit Group - Actions.
