To help everyone out on their shooter-like maps, i'll show you how I successfully made a shooting system for my machine gunner class. It uses 3 triggers, too. I have 2 variables, point and unit group. Point is indexed to size 2 since the game limits the amount of MGers to 2 for the map. "Shoot M60 Machine Gun" is based off of the cloud of fog ability, with mana cost 0 and duration as high as possible so they don't just stop shooting. The heros have an ability called "Heavy Weapons Proficiency" which increases their damage, and the dummy unit's dummy spell is based off of carrion swarm, and has 5 levels which increase the damage prior to the proficiency ability.  Trigger:  Machine Gun Shooting  Events   Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability Conditions (Ability being cast) Equal to Shoot M60 Machine Gun   Actions If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (Distance between (Position of (Casting unit)) and (Target point of ability being cast)) Greater than or equal to 250.00 Then - Actions  Unit Group - Add (Casting unit) to Machine_Gun_Shooters If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (Casting unit) Equal to Machine_Gunners[1] Then - Actions Set Machine_Gun_Target[1] = (Target point of ability being cast) Else - Actions Set Machine_Gun_Target[2] = (Target point of ability being cast) Camera - Shake the camera for (Owner of (Casting unit)) with magnitude 4.50 Else - Actions Unit - Order (Casting unit) to Stop Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Casting unit)))) for 8.00 seconds the text: You must shoot at l...Trigger: Machine Gun Shooting Stop Events Unit - A unit Stops casting an ability Conditions (Ability being cast) Equal to Shoot M60 Machine Gun Actions Unit Group - Remove (Casting unit) from Machine_Gun_Shooters Camera - Stop swaying/shaking the camera for (Owner of (Casting unit)) If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions Machine_Gunners[1] Equal to (Casting unit) Then - Actions Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Machine_Gun_Target[1]) Else - Actions Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Machine_Gun_Target[2])Trigger: Machine Gun Shooting Recycle Events Time - Every 0.12 seconds of game time Conditions Actions Unit Group - Pick every unit in Machine_Gun_Shooters and do (Actions) Loop - Actions If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions ((Owner of (Picked unit)) Current gold) Equal to 0 Then - Actions Sound - Play NoAmmo <gen> at 100.00% volume, attached to (Picked unit) Animation - Play (Picked unit)'s stand animation Else - Actions Animation - Play (Picked unit)'s attack animation Player - Add -1 to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current gold Unit - Create 1 M60 Machine Gun Dummy for (Owner of (Picked unit)) at (Position of (Picked unit)) facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit) Unit - Set level of M60 Machine Gun Dummy Shoot for (Last created unit) to (Level of Heavy Weapons Proficiency (Hero) for (Picked unit)) If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (Picked unit) Equal to Machine_Gunners[1] Then - Actions Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Dreadlord - Carrion Swarm (Machine_Gun_Target[1] offset by ((Random real number between -150.00 and 150.00), (Random real number between -150.00 and 150.00))) Else - Actions Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Dreadlord - Carrion Swarm (Machine_Gun_Target[2] offset by ((Random real number between -150.00 and 150.00), (Random real number between -150.00 and 150.00)))The offset makes it so he doesn't shoot exactly where the target is every time (accuracy basicly), and can spray if he wants to by casting it closer to his hero. The machine gun target is the point variable so we know where we want the dummy to shoot. |
