Well, is it for visual effect or does it serve a purpose?

Weapon (Legacy)

• Arc Slop
  • Threshold an acquired unit can move outside the weapon arc.
• Backswing
• Damage Point
  • The delay between the attack starts and the effect is executed.
• Reload Duration
  • The minimum time after an attack a new one can start.
• Range Slop
  • Threshold an acquired unit can move outside the weapon range.
• Options
  • Can Initiate Attack
  • Only Fire At Attack Target
  • Only Fire While Attacking

Everything except the user interface aspects can be done in the data editor. Do the launch missile, guide search, collision search etc as effects.

Then all that remains for triggers is the user interface tidbits.

Guide Move
    Events
        UI - Player Any Player moves mouse.
    Local Variables
        Group = (Guide Object units in (Entire map) owned by player (Triggering player) matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount) <Unit Group>
    Conditions
        (Number of Living units in Group) > 0
    Actions
        Unit - Move (Unit 1 from Group) instantly to (Point((Mouse X position in the world), (Mouse Y position in the world))) (No Blend)

Set the actor tint on creation.

No, unless you are doing something stupid like infinite recursion.

Aye it was due to the arc as previously implied.

@Builder_Bob: Go

Ah doh, didn't think of that thought it was broken in patch as-well. Thanks.

Well i'd call that a bug, since it's just really counter intuitive.

A work-around is to separate the ability into two abilities. Ability A is just a public dummy, which does an issue order effect to cast the real ability. Ability B is the real ability, is not exposed on a command card.

But still, such an unnecessary work-around.

Making an Effect - Target ability transient, makes it so that the effect never takes place. Is this due to something down the effect hierarchy or can targeted abilities simply not be transient?

Aye just noticed, it's pretty much completely broken with 1.2.

Thanks :-)

Just a quickie, basically i want to convert the two liner script to data.

UnitCreate(1, "HelperPoint", c_unitCreateIgnorePlacement, UnitGetOwner(EventUnit()), EventUnitTargetPoint(), 0.0);
UnitIssueOrder(EventUnit(), OrderTargetingUnit(AbilityCommand("attack", 0), UnitLastCreated()), c_orderQueueAddToEnd);

Which i suppose translates into the effects, Create Unit and Issue Order. However am not sure how to make Issue Order target the previously created unit.

Any takers?
