Title: Target_unittype discussion
Post by: Salan on September 07, 2014, 11:58:03 am

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

Quote

[TARGET_ELITE]
<STRING>NAME:TARGET_ELITE
[/TARGET_ELITE]

unittype:  MONSTER_ELITE

Quote

[MONSTER_ELITE]
<STRING>NAME:MONSTER_ELITE
<STRING>child:MONSTER
<STRING>child1:CHARACTER
<STRING>child2:ANY
<STRING>child:TARGET_ELITE
[/MONSTER_ELITE]

The base skill applies affixes to the player

right now this proc hits everything

there was this line just after the add stat -2, which I have removed

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...
