Tele-Evasion: Find the bugs

05-30-2004, 09:21 PM

I'm making a spell called Tele-Evasion, which causes the hero who has it to have a % chance to "blink" away from their attacker. I've created a simulation of Blink within the trigger to do this.
The group array is for 3 different levels of it which will merely have different chances of working and different distances.

Code:

televasion01
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is attacked
    Conditions
        Or - Any (Conditions) are true
            Conditions
                ((Attacked unit) is in TelevasionGroup[1]) Equal to True
                ((Attacked unit) is in TelevasionGroup[2]) Equal to True
                ((Attacked unit) is in TelevasionGroup[3]) Equal to True
    Actions
        Custom script:   local integer udg_telechance
        Custom script:   local integer udg_teledist
        Custom script:   local effect udg_telefx1
        Custom script:   local effect udg_telefx2
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                ((Attacked unit) is in TelevasionGroup[1]) Equal to True
            Then - Actions
                Set telechance = (Random integer number between 1 and 20)
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        telechance Less than 4
                    Then - Actions
                        Set teledist = (Random integer number between 100 and 250)
                        Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Attacked unit)) using Abilities\Spells\NightElf\Blink\BlinkCaster.mdl
                        Set telefx1 = (Last created special effect)
                        Unit - Move (Attacked unit) instantly to ((Position of (Attacked unit)) offset by (Real(teledist)) towards ((Facing of (Attacking unit)) + (Random real number between -30.00 and 30.00)) degrees)
                        Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Attacked unit)) using Abilities\Spells\NightElf\Blink\BlinkTarget.mdl
                        Set telefx2 = (Last created special effect)
                    Else - Actions
                        Do nothing
            Else - Actions...

The two bugs:
1) This happens every time the hero bearing the ability is attacked.
2) The hero teleports a huge distance across the map; far, far more than 250.

What's wrong? Any help is appreciated.

Shimrra	Is this a custom script? "Set teledist = (Random integer number between 100 and 250)" It's usually easier to use local variables in an all Jass trigger.

YellowSubmarine	The only custom script involved is the declaration of the variables as local, so the spell can be multi-instanced. EDIT: Hmm, that's odd. It seems to function normally when teledist and telechance are not local. Now, my problem is this: How can I make this spell multi-instance-able without use of local variables?

Kolibri	Save it in arrays, it's going to be one bigger bother, so I suggest you learn JASS instead. :)
