Why doesn't this work? Spider Trap Spell.

06-28-2004, 01:05 AM

Hey, I'm working on a spell that makes a location that supposedly has a trap--it should web a unit (a special effect and pause the unit since you cant add a buff) when it runs over the region. Why isn't it working? There are 3 triggers. Also, when I try to give back the ability to the spider, it doesn't give it back.

Code:

Spider Trap
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Spider Trap 
        SpiderTrap_Created Equal to False
    Actions
        Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Target point of ability being cast) using Abilities\Spells\Undead\VampiricAura\VampiricAura.mdl
        Set SpiderTrap_Effect = (Last created special effect)
        Set SpiderTrap_Point = (Target point of ability being cast)
        Set SpiderTrap_Created = True
        Region - Center Spider Trap <gen> on SpiderTrap_Point
        Set SpiderTrap_Caster = (Casting unit)
        Unit - Remove Spider Trap  from SpiderTrap_Caster
        Unit - Add Unsummon Spider Trap  to SpiderTrap_Caster

Code:

Spider Trap Triggered
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Spider Trap <gen>
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set SpiderTrap_Created = False
        Special Effect - Destroy SpiderTrap_Effect
        Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Entering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Undead\Web\WebTarget.mdl
        Set SpiderTrap_Effect = (Last created special effect)
        Unit - Pause (Entering unit)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Level of Spider Trap  for SpiderTrap_Caster) Equal to 1
            Then - Actions
                Wait 3.00 seconds
                Special Effect - Destroy SpiderTrap_Effect
                Unit - Unpause (Entering unit)
            Else - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Level of Spider Trap  for SpiderTrap_Caster) Equal to 2
                    Then - Actions

                            If - Conditions
                                (Level of Spider Trap  for SpiderTrap_Caster) Equal to 3
                            Then - Actions
                                Wait 10.00 seconds

                                    Then - Actions
                                        Wait 15.00 seconds

Rafael Br	Well first of all, use start the effect of an abillity, second, why did you create all that trigger instead of using a dummy unit(use the hide unit action to make it unseen/unselectable) and then order it to cast ensnare? Another thing, for your last trigger, try adding the abillity first than removing the other
