Help with triggers

[Joshsta818]

latley ive been playing around with gui triggers for fun..but ive come accross a couple of funn triggers that i cant get to work, or arent working properly..if some body could help me figure out why or what i did wrong id be great. heres some of my triggers than dun work..

Code: Select all

Event: player 1(red) types a chat message containing -lightning as a substring.
Condition:
Action: create lightning effect mana burn center of(current camera bounds))rally-point of triggering unit) as a point.

What i want it to do is, create a manaburn image coming from the middle of the map all the way to the currently selected unit.

NEXT

Code: Select all

Event:Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -carrionbeetles as A substring

Condition:
Action:Compatibility - Create the illusion of Carrion Beetles with that spell's Caster Art model attached to (Picked unit) on it's overhead

what i want is for the "image" of carrionr bettles flying above the picked unit

NEXT

Code: Select all

Event:Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -invul as A substring
Condition:
Action:Unit - Make (Picked unit) Invulnerable

eh, what i want for that is kinda obvious, the trigger seems to simple..but theres not really any more u can do with it except for making conditions..which ive Never done.
thanks for takin ure time to try to awnser my nubby questions!

for the invul one its not working because the trigger isnt picking any unit. you need to specify a unit.

[Kala-cha]

Hm... invulnerability there should work, pick unit=unit in game that's currently picked, genius :P.
Don't know about the other ones though, I don't do special effects >.<. Carrion Swarm is NOT in compatibility. It's in special effects.

[Xantan]

compatibility is not useable, its there for compatibility reasons only, cant you read? sais that on the trigger in weu.

[Joshsta818]

so does that mean carrionrbeetles wont work? or were u talkin to kala lol :\

Edit: my bad i just read that it was a compatibility lols :<retarded

What about this trigger, i spent like 30 mins of copy and pasting to make it work with all players and all colors -_- and it wont work

Code: Select all

Event:Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -color green as A substring
Condition:
Action:Unit - Change color of (Picked unit) to Green

[Thunder_Dragon-]

first of all.. why are u using substring? use this 1

Code: Select all

green color
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -green as An exact match
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Change color of (Random unit from (Units currently selected by (Triggering player))) to Green

use a veriable if u need a specific unit each time
or more advanced with substrings!

Code: Select all

green color
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -color as A substring
    Conditions
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Substring((Entered chat string), 8, (Length of (Entered chat string)))) Equal to green
            Then - Actions
                Unit - Change color of (Random unit from (Units currently selected by (Triggering player))) to Green
            Else - Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Substring((Entered chat string), 8, (Length of (Entered chat string)))) Equal to blue
            Then - Actions
                Unit - Change color of (Random unit from (Units currently selected by (Triggering player))) to Blue
            Else - Actions

took me less than 5 min to make this.. cant believe u spent 30 min :S

[Joshsta818]

If your gunna use picked unit.. you have to pick the units with unit group..

Code: Select all

lightning
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -lightning as An exact match
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units currently selected by (Triggering player)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Special Effect - Create a lightning effect Mana Burn (Center of (Playable map area)) (Position of (Picked unit))

Code: Select all

green
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -green as An exact match
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units currently selected by (Triggering player)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
