(Spell 3) - Buff - Charm (Seems to crash the game)

06-12-2006, 12:39 AM

I've been trying to make a buff - charm spell.

You cast a buff on a unit, to gain control of that unit.
When buff expires, control reverts back to default.

Currently it is not required to be multi instanceable.
Only 1 hero/player will exist in the game.

I know this will be "frowned upon" but with cooldowns the hero will never control more than 10 units.

Trigger:

Buff Persuasion

Events

Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to Persuasion [Seer]

Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

Ability_A_Seer_Mind_T Not equal to 10

Then - Actions

Set Ability_A_Seer_Mind_U[Ability_A_Seer_Mind_T] = (Target unit of ability being cast)

Set Ability_A_Seer_Mind_I[Ability_A_Seer_Mind_T] = (Player number of (Owner of (Target unit of ability being cast)))

Set Ability_A_Seer_Mind_T = (Ability_A_Seer_Mind_T + 1)

Else - Actions

Set Ability_A_Seer_Mind_U[Ability_A_Seer_Mind_T] = (Target unit of ability being cast)

Set Ability_A_Seer_Mind_I[Ability_A_Seer_Mind_T] = (Player number of (Owner of (Target unit of ability being cast)))

Set Ability_A_Seer_Mind_T = 0

Unit - Change ownership of (Target unit of ability being cast) to (Owner of (Casting unit)) and Change color

Trigger:

Persuasion2

Events

Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time

Conditions

Actions

For each (Integer B) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

(Ability_A_Seer_Mind_U[(Integer B)] has buff Persuasion ) Not equal to True

Then - Actions

Unit - Change ownership of Ability_A_Seer_Mind_U[(Integer B)] to (Player(Ability_A_Seer_Mind_I[(Integer B)])) and Change color

Else - Actions

The 2nd trigger crashes the game????

Does anyone know why and/or how to fix it?
Annoying thing is I dont even know if the 2nd trigger would work.

thank you

TaintedReality	What kind of variable is Ability_A_Seer_Mind_U? It's because of the line (Player(Ability_A_Seer_Mind_I[(Integer B)])) in your second trigger, but I can't tell you how to fix it until I know what kind of variable it is.

Fulla	U = Unit (array) T = integer I = Integer (array)

PipeDream	Probably Ability_A_Seer_Mind_I has a value of zero somewhere, perhaps because it's uninitialized. ConvertedPlayer subtracts one from this before passing it on to Player. Player(-1) then crashes the game.

Fulla	Ok I set I/T - default value = 1. It works fine now.
