Whirlwind?

02-19-2006, 09:57 PM

Based off thunderclap, it damages/slows enemies and also casts cyclone on all enemies in 325 range, sometimes it works but only cyclones one unit.

How to make it work?

Trigger:

Whirlwind

Events

Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to Whirlwind

Actions

Set Tempest[3] = (Casting unit)

Unit - Create 1 Caster [Caster System] for (Owner of Tempest[3]) at (Position of Tempest[3]) facing Default building facing degrees

Set TempestFx[2] = (Last created unit)

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Region centered at (Position of Tempest[3]) with size (325.00, 325.00)) matching (((Picked unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of Tempest[3])) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Unit - Order TempestFx[2] to Night Elf Druid Of The Talon - Cyclone (Picked unit)

Unit - Remove TempestFx[2] from the game

Blade.dk	IT is because of casting times, sometimes the dummy unit does not have enought time to cast the spell, so it will only cast it on one unit, try to create a new dummy everytime in the For Group Loop and order it to cast it on picked unit, then add an expiration timer of like 1 second to the dummy so it will be removed. That should make it work.

Jacek	Blade.dk is right. Oh and you are leaking region, because you make region centered on unit. Use - "Units in range 325 from Position of (Casting unit)" it will leak anyways but I'll leave it to you to fix it.

Tiki	And what does that exactly do?

Blade.dk	It prevents your trigger from leaking == creating objects that you never remove, which takes up memory and can make your map lag and stuff.
