Why this isnt working...

ok... i made a spell based on inferno, my idea was making some aoe stun+frost spell

so this is what im doing in my trigger -
-xxx spawn a dummy <-- using inverno spell
-unit type of summoned unit = dummy
-Unit - Order (summoned unit) to Undead Lich- Frost Nova (summoned unit)

- i checked everything, including the nova is able to target self, but this hell not wroking !!

did somewhere went wrong... =_+??

this site rox

umm.. dummy had locust? or has no mana to use the nova? possible

all checked... frost nova mana cost = 0, dummy with/without locust aint making the thing work

inferno has some delay, try adding a wait at beginning

ah i found another alternative =.=" add a frost attack to the dummy... ask him attack ground when it is summoned, then remove it... well at least it works...

Does the dummy have nova?

of course...

and i found out some really annoying bug... locust seems not working with inferno summon... i mean if you have a custom unit with locust on it (cant be selected), but it can be selected when it is summoned via inferno (locust ability gone)

wth =_="

Hmm nice find, dident know that summoned units are not locust'ed

Are you sure this is correct?

Why dont u just make the spell do the damage, and the art the frost nova art?

Instead of making dummy cast nova on itself, play nova's special effect on the position of the summoned unit. Remove summoned unit, pick every unit in range, and create a dummy with nova for each of the enemies, order it to cast nova on them.

make nova target enemies and have 0 area of effect

um yeah, im doing something like that now, but making a dummy on each unit will make the game abit laggy, so i make a dummy with 1-1 damage and a splash frost damage, when the spell is casted then remove the summoned, create the dummy attack ground and freeze the enemy in the are :) (after all i only want the frost effect XD, the damage can be done from inferno, tada ! aoe stun, freeze damage spell >_< )

The)TideHunter( : yeah i tested it few times, locust cant work with inferno summon, maybe some wc3 engine bug or something... and it seems that the trigger are quite buggy with the inferno summon... @_@

Frost Nova is instant cast unless I remember wrong, so actually you only needs one dummy, that you can order to cast the spell on all the enemies.

yes.. but it is also a target spell, i dont know how to make it into aoe spell... if i make a big aoe then the unit outside the casting circle will get freeze too.

p/s: inferno summon is dammm bugged !! i almost cant put any order trigger on it, it just dont work -__-" (at least i still can remove it via trigger...)

Try that. (The Dummy unit has to not have th Locust ability, as i'm pretty sure "Unit Enters Region" doesn't pick up units with Locust.)

tried that before already, it doesnt work... the trigger isnt activating for the inferno summon, some sort of bug i guess
