Why is it not working?

Trigger:

Megaslam

Events

Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to Megaslam (Gaia, Automaton)

Actions

Set abi_TempPointAutomaton = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))

Wait 0.30 seconds

Set x_TempGroup = (Units within 200.00 of abi_TempPointAutomaton)

Unit Group - Pick every unit in x_TempGroup and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) - (250.00 - (Distance between (Position of (Picked unit)) and x_TempPoint)))

Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_x_TempGroup)

Special Effect - Create a special effect at abi_TempPointAutomaton using war3mapImported\Explosion.mdx

Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

Special Effect - Create a special effect at abi_TempPointAutomaton using war3mapImported\ground.mdx

Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

Sound - Play SlamImpact <gen> at 100.00% volume, located at abi_TempPointAutomaton with Z offset 0.00

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_abi_TempPointAutomaton)

Based on the finger of death ability. Just trying to give it a splash damage trough triggers. It's just the whole actual damage code.

I'm not good at explaining these things so i just took a couple minutes and made this test map. It's the same concept except i used "Unit - Damage Area"

Trigger:

testtrigger

Events

Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to Finger of Blah (Neutral Hostile)

Actions

Set temppoint = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))

Wait 0.30 seconds

Set tempgroup = (Units within 200.00 of temppoint)

Unit Group - Pick every unit in tempgroup and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage circular area after 0.30 seconds of radius 200.00 at temppoint, dealing ((250.00 - (Distance between (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) and (Position of (Picked unit)))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_tempgroup)

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint)

Test map uploaded if you want to quickly test it first. I hope i didn't mess up in there.

EDIT: i actually did mess up lol. i'll take another look at it later.

Rising_Dusk	I took the liberty to rename your thread to actually mean something. :) You should be using "starts the effects of" for the event, you should use the 'Unit - Damage Target' actions for dealing the damage, and what av3n said about the x_TempPoint never being assigned.

Oh fuckits! I haven't opened WE in quite some while and I forgot about this. Sorry kind people. :( I'll see if I can get it to work.

Unit Group - Pick every unit in x_TempGroup and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing (250.00 - (Distance between (Position of (Picked unit)) and x_TempPoint)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_x_TempGroup)

Special Effect - Create a special effect at x_TempPoint using war3mapImported\Explosion.mdx

Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_x_TempPoint)

Thanks a bunch. :)

Now all I have to figure out is why the bastard has lost his attack...
