Explode on touch spell?

[botanic]

Anyone know how I could make a spell that explodes a unit when it touches an enemy? I was thinking about the goblin land mines ability I just dont know how to add that to a unit...

thanks in advance

Wait wait wait, what are you talking about?
So let me get this straight.
You need a spell like Goblin Land Mine but you DON'T KNOW HOW TO ADD IT TO A UNIT.
Ok, your helplessness inspires my curiosity. Are you using ROC or TFT? I'm pretty sure either one would work, though with possibly GAY effects in ROC. First of all, you should go to the G section of Abilities/Units. Or items. Then find Goblin Land Mines. Or perhaps Item Goblin Land Mines in item section. Then, right around the top of any unit in the OBJECT editor, there should be a field like Ability - Normal. Add.
If you're using TFT, I suggest making a custom ability off of Goblin Land Mines.
...Ok screw that, I now understand your question.

I'm pretty sure, that the answer is NO. Basing a unit off of the Goblin Land Mine and basing an ability off of LAYING Goblin Land Mines is your best bet. Besides triggers that check every single second if a unit is in the radius of a mine. NO. That would be gay.

So yeah, two answers. Each for seperate situations. Useless. o.O

You'd need to use the "A unit comes within range of unit" event, but in GUI it would get all wonky-jod.

A JASS version could work fine, though.

[botanic]

is there any way that someone could post something in jass then that I could use or at least so that I can go in the right direction I don't know jass very well

Just do:
Every .2 seconds
Pick all units in range of (Your unit)
and do
If unit is (whatever conditions u wnat)
Then do
Unit - Explode picked unit

[Hydrolisk]

Not MUI?

[oNdizZ]

then just do another group loop and use picked unit instead of (Your unit)?

[AKAmrdivine]

Code:

explode
    Events
        Unit - A unit comes within 200.00 of YourUnit <gen>
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Explode (Triggering unit)

[Pyrogasm]

This should work; just change the range to change how close a unit must be to explode. If you're not using unit-types, set TempGroup[1] to units with a specific buff, instead.

Trigger:

Events

Time - Every 0.20 seconds of game-time

Conditions

Actions

Set TempGroup[1] = Units in (Playable Map Area) matching (Unit-type of (Matching Unit) equal to YOUR UNIT)

Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup[1] and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Set TempPoint = Position of (Picked Unit)
Set TempGroup[2] = Units within 20.00 of (TempPoint)
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (TempGroup[2]) and do (Unit - Explode (Picked Unit))
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup[1])
Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup[2])

Ok this is what I have for the spell so far I just need to add in the exploding part... Can someone help with that please ^.^ I used the mirror image as a base for this spell. All the images will move away from the caster. What I would prefer is if they explode when they stop moving (hit a tree or whatever) however hitting a unit is fine.

Trigger:

Mirror Image Explode

Events

Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to Deadly [H]allucinations

Actions

Set MS_Trigger_unit = (Casting unit)
Set MS_Group = (Units within 10000.00 of MS_Trigger_unit_loc matching ((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to (Owner of MS_Trigger_unit)))
Wait 0.10 seconds
Trigger - Turn on Mirror Image Explode Copy <gen>
Wait ((Real((Level of Deadly [H]allucinations for MS_Trigger_unit))) x 15.00) game-time seconds
Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_MS_Group)
Trigger - Turn off Mirror Image Explode Copy <gen>

Trigger:

Mirror Image Explode Copy

Events

Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time

Conditions

Actions

Set MS_Trigger_unit_loc = (Position of MS_Trigger_unit)
Set MS_Group = (Units within 10000.00 of MS_Trigger_unit_loc matching ((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to (Owner of MS_Trigger_unit)))
Unit Group - Remove MS_Trigger_unit from MS_Group
Set TempInteger = (0 + 1)

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

If - Conditions

(MS_Trigger_unit is alive) Equal to True

Then - Actions

Unit Group - Pick every unit in MS_Group and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

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

If - Conditions

((Picked unit) is an illusion) Equal to True

Then - Actions

Set MS_Picked_unit_loc[1] = (Position of (Picked unit))
Set MS_Picked_unit_loc[2] = (MS_Picked_unit_loc[1] offset by 15.00 towards (Angle from MS_Trigger_unit_loc to MS_Picked_unit_loc[1]) degrees)
Set MS_Picked_unit_loc[3] = MS_Picked_unit_loc[2]
Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to MS_Picked_unit_loc[3]
For each (Integer A) from 1 to 3, do (Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_MS_Picked_unit_loc[GetForLoopIndexA()]))

Else - Actions

Unit - Kill (Picked unit)

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_MS_Trigger_unit_loc)

Try this; it should explode the mirror images whenever they come within 20.00 of a unit (changeable). To get them to explode when they reach a destructable, you would need JASS and a pathability check function.

Trigger:

Mirror Image Explode Copy

Events

Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time

Conditions

Actions

Set MS_Trigger_unit_loc = (Position of MS_Trigger_unit)
Set MS_Group = (Units within 10000.00 of MS_Trigger_unit_loc matching ((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to (Owner of MS_Trigger_unit)))
Unit Group - Remove MS_Trigger_unit from MS_Group
Set TempInteger = (0 + 1)

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

If - Conditions

(MS_Trigger_unit is alive) Equal to True

Then - Actions

Unit Group - Pick every unit in MS_Group and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

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

If - Conditions

((Picked unit) is an illusion) Equal to True

Then - Actions

Set MS_Picked_unit_loc[1] = (Position of (Picked unit))
Set MS_Picked_unit_loc[2] = (MS_Picked_unit_loc[1] offset by 15.00 towards (Angle from MS_Trigger_unit_loc to MS_Picked_unit_loc[1]) degrees)
Set MS_Picked_unit_loc[3] = MS_Picked_unit_loc[2]
Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to MS_Picked_unit_loc[3]
Unit Group - Add (Picked Unit) to MS_Explode_Group
For each (Integer A) from 1 to 3, do (Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_MS_Picked_unit_loc[GetForLoopIndexA()]))

Else - Actions

Unit - Kill (Picked unit)

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_MS_Trigger_unit_loc)
Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_MS_Group)

Else - Actions

Unit Group - Pick every unit in MS_Explode_Group and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Set MS_Picked_unit_loc[4] = Position of (Picked Unit)
Set MS_Group = Units within 20.00 of (MS_Picked_unit_loc[4]) matching ((Matching Unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Picked Unit)))
If (Number of units in MS_group equal 0) then do (Unit - Explode (Picked Unit)), else do (Do Nothing)
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_MS_Picked_unit_loc[4])
Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_MS_Group)

Custom script: call GroupClear(udg_MS_Explode_Group)

Note that the last line is "GroupClear", not "DestroyGroup". A couple of other things I noticed:

- You're setting TempInteger = 0+1. Why? It's not used, and just setting it to 1 would be easier.
- Any unit within a 10,000 (ten-thousand) radius of the casting unit that is owned by the owner of the casting unit will be killed.
- You have "MS_Trigger_unit_loc" and "MS_Picked_unit_loc[index]"; couldn't you just combine them into 1 array variable?


If you want the mirror images to be uncontrollable, add this line right after the "Unit Group - Add (Picked Unit) to MS_Explode_Group)" line:

Trigger:

Unit - Pause (Picked Unit)

[botanic]

Ok it works not they die when they hit a unit but I cant get them to be removed when the spell ends. That means that the first trigger doesn't work correctly... here is what I got
