Damage to destructibles in region?

08-11-2007, 02:28 AM

I needs some helps. I'm trying to get the panda in my Panda FPS to be able to attack destructibles. However, since damage is dealth through triggers, this is becoming very difficult.

Trigger:

PandarenAttack

Events

Unit - Pandaren 0002 <gen> Is issued an order with no target

Conditions

(Issued order) Equal to (Order(stop))

Actions

Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Animation - Play Pandaren's attack animation

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 90.00 of ((Position of Pandaren 0001 <gen>) offset by 100.00 towards (Real(DirectionDegrees)) degrees)) and do (Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) - 100.00))

Wait 0.97 seconds

Animation - Reset Pandaren's animation

Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

So, as you can see, I got the unit damage down good, but can't seem to figure out a Destructible equvalent.

Tide-Arc Ephemera	Trigger: Destructible - Pick every destructible within 90.00 of (Some Random Point) and do (Actions) Loop - Actions How about create a dummy unit and then make it attack the destructible? That way you can even get sound effects without triggers 'n' stuff.

PenguinEmperor	Your trigger dosen't work, because it needs to not only be withing 90, but also offset by his current facing direction.

Tide-Arc Ephemera	It was an example. Make a dummy unit, order it to attack the destructible. That way you can even integrate power ups with destructible attacks.

PenguinEmperor	Uhh... I don't really understand the way that would work... Just having a dummy dosen't seem controlled enough. As of now, all attacks are disabled, so ordering the Control Box unit to stop makes the Panderen on the feild Attack through Triggers.

Tide-Arc Ephemera	Use the pick all destructible thing... If you don't need to track who killed the destructible, just use the "Destructible - Set life of (Picked destructible) to ..." Then use something like ((Life of picked Destructible) - (100.00)) or what ever value you want.

PenguinEmperor	The problem is I cant get it to pick all destructibles exclusivley within 90 of Pandaren and offset by 100 twoards RealDirectionDegrees.

Tide-Arc Ephemera	Been meaning to say your trigger leaks... hope you knew that... Why don't you use a variable to store the point with the polar offset, then create a doodad group based on all doodads within range of point?

PenguinEmperor	As far as I'm concerned my trigger here has never failed me before. I'll see if I can do that. Thanks for dealing with my semi-nub-like questions. But how does one create a doodad group?
