Shooting System "Lag"

11-24-2006, 05:30 PM

I'm redoing my DoD: Donner shooting system, and when they shoot it waits 2 seconds before the dummy will cast carrion swarm. The ability is based off of cloud of fog, and the dummy ability is carrion swarm. It's doing the same for my automatic weapons but heres my rifles trigger:

I put them all into one trigger and it works fine, except for the problem stated. Gold is gun heat and their mana is the ammo.

illidan92	Thanks for the quick reply ^.^. I tried it and it's still taking a few seconds.

The_AwaKening	Check the range of your dummy's carrion swarm ability. Maybe it doesn't reach as far as your original ability and the dummy is having to move first. I don't know also if this would make a difference, but maybe change the facing or your dummy on creation to GetUnitFacing(GetTriggerUnit()). Not sure how that looks in GUI

illidan92	Oh! Found the MFing problem >.<! I based the shooting dummy off of my mortar dummy and the model's backswing and cast point were at like .9 and .1 because it was based off of the mortar team >.<! Thanks for the help though guys lol, hope this reminds people to check that!
