not to take over the arena thread...
so I can't for the life of me get my target_unittype to work correctly.
Here is what is set up and why I am confused on what I am missing:
Unittype: TARGET_ELITE
[TARGET_ELITE]
<STRING>NAME:TARGET_ELITE
[/TARGET_ELITE]
unittype: MONSTER_ELITE
[MONSTER_ELITE]
<STRING>NAME:MONSTER_ELITE
<STRING>child:MONSTER
<STRING>child1:CHARACTER
<STRING>child2:ANY
<STRING>child:TARGET_ELITE

right now this proc hits everything
there was this line just after the add stat -2, which I have removed
[AFFIXES]
<INTEGER>AFFIXLEVEL:1
<STRING>TARGET:ENEMY
<STRING>AFFIX:RANGER_COMBAT_BLEED_DAMAGE_10
[/AFFIXES]
but even with that the skill shouldn't have been firing against normal monsters or target dummies.
So i did a test with my thorn rapid fire skill
using the unittype_target:Target_elite
works fine, it misses everything.
What is interesting thou is that it still fires the skill, MAYBE what I am seeing isn't a bug, the skill is still firing the layout and graphic, but it is not effecting the non_elite monsters.. its hard to read the combatlog correctly .. so I am going to add a
<BOOL>REQUIRES_TARGET:1
to the procs and see if that does anything.
I believe the proc is actually working as intended.
The target_unittype doesn't stop the layout from firing, it simply stops the damage from taking effect. In a proc it is very difficult to tell what is going on even in the combat log with a pure damage proc.
eitherway, it works.
Oh and the stat deduction fires regardless, I will be moving all of that to TRIGGER_UNITHIT instead of TRIGGER_START...
