More to Blink?

07-14-2005, 06:01 PM

I was messing with blink making a customizable blink so i could make a cool blink type ability, i was gunna base it on frost nova, but I couldnt be bothered to edit it alot so i based it on blink...

ERROR~~

There seems to be 2 target points( Play it n u'll no wat im on about) The first seems to be where u cast blink for the first time (and never moves) and is only called apon by the first effect i make. I have proved this by making two effects (again play it n u'll c).

Please help me fix it...

Jesus, I'm confused.

I took a look at the map and that is kinda wierd but I'm still not sure what you're trying to do...
For the people that don't feel like downloading the map this is the trigger:

Code:

CustomizableBlink
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Blink (Customizable)
    Actions
        Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Target point of ability being cast) using Abilities\Spells\Human\MarkOfChaos\MarkOfChaosTarget.mdl
        Unit - Move (Casting unit) instantly to (Target point of ability being cast)
        Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Target point of ability being cast) using Abilities\Spells\Human\MarkOfChaos\MarkOfChaosTarget.mdl

First of all, if you're basing your blink ability off of blink in the first place, I don't see why you are moving the caster via triggers, when blink automatically will move him for you. Also, I don't see why you're making two effects at the same location.

Please, clarify a bit more.

Guest	I dont even see a purpose in this post, your asking for help on a custom blink ability when you base your ability off of blink.

I don't think he's asking for help on the blink ability as much as he's wondering why the first effect always stays at the Warden's initial position. So, if you're going to criticize him, at least check out the map and see what he's really asking.

Lazyeyedhobo	Well he needs to be more descriptive.

well you need to be more patient...
EDIT: Ok i havent actually seen it because im just as inpatient ^^ but i think what ur asking is how to use the final location that the unit will be in as the target of blink? no? Well, if you look at the spell, it seems to center the blink target on "Art-Area Effect".. this doesnt seem to be referrable to as a point. so the only way i could think of doing it is adding a .01 wait and then using the unit's current position.
EDIT(again): .01 wont work. It takes .33 seconds to move the unit. Try doing a .4 second wait. If this isnt what you meant sorry

but it it is

spirit_man	Well u are probably right, BTW im not a retard... i was making it so it would make 2 effects (made them the same just to show u lot) & so it would cost wood instead of mana like all of the spells in the map my m8 is making :P i just wanted to do a move trigger cos i felt like it ok?

Edit:

Code:

Blink
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Blink
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                ((Owner of (Casting unit)) Current lumber) Greater than or equal to 30
            Then - Actions
                Player - Add -30 to (Owner of (Casting unit)) Current lumber
            Else - Actions
                Unit - Order (Casting unit) to Stop

Im assuming you want that. END OF POST
