I'm trying to make a skill that creates an effect under the feet of all your enemies within a certain range, so that you can track them from underground.As of now I'm unsure how to go about making it and all attempts have failed. Any help/suggestions would be nice. Thanks!

Hmmmm, your script doesn't seem to be working. I put it in, but got no message and no effect was drawn on the enemy.

Only problem with that skill is the effect is viewable by all.
I doubt you have "wcs_dalias" installed/loaded bretalmeau which is why it isn't working.
A proper way to do this would be in a block which is a slightly more advanced level of ESS than what you're used to. I can code it up for you if you wish and provide some stalwart instuctions but I'll not have it done until maybe 18-24 hours after this post as I have other things to do.
Blocks can be quite off putting if you're just starting out but can be quite intruiging too, up to you.
I'm curious as to how you are testing the codes, are you doing it on "Source Dedicated Server" or "create a lan game"?

@Yiyas:Is the block coding you would be doing the same as the block Gen. posted? I want to make this type of skill w/o adding to the ultimates file.
If your way doesn't need anything added to the ultimates file, do you think you could write out an explanation for the block you make? I'd really appreciate it (Oh, and no rush if you decide to explain it, I'm in no hurry.
Oh, and I've been testing on a dedicated server with bots.
EDIT: Actually, I think I'm going to try and code this skill myself now, I'm pretty sure i can get it semi-working myself with est_near (now that i found this command), but will need help with the bugs/stupid errors that are bound to occur.

Though youve just found the est_near command it will only work the once. the wcs_dalias block is a great block to have, because it repeats the block, without losing any saved information. where as if you were to use est_near on a spawn command, it would just activate that one time at spawn. seeing as both teams are spawning. it probably wont hit anybody. The good thing about adding to the wcs_ultimates file,is if it doesnt work you can always delete what u added, I dont know of a way of doing this without the ultimate block. |

Hmm, well I should be able to repeat the est_near command if I have something like:
racealias_b1: if player alive racealias_b2
racealias_b2:est_near blah blah blah;es_delayed .5;racealias_b1
I've used a repeating thing like this in a healing skill, and it works like a charmEDIT: Ok so I have gotten the skill working, but in the console of my dedicated server, "Did not find a player matching #t!d" is being spammed, but i don't know why, seeing as the skill is working. Any Ideas? GeSHi (eventscripts): "skill2_setting" "es_xset wcs_range 200|es_xset wcs_range 400|es_xset wcs_range 600|es_xset wcs_range 800|es_xset wcs_range 1000"

"racealias_r2" "es_xsetinfo wcs_group #t!d;racealias_r3"
"racealias_r3" "if (server_var(wcs_dead) = 0) then est_near wcs_tracked server_var(wcs_group) server_var(wcs_range) event_var(userid) racealias_r4;es_delayed .5 racealias_r3"

If it can't find players its probably because you haven't got anyone to target. Do "bot_add" in SDS console to add bots. Do "sv_cheats1;bot_dont_shoot 1" so they dont shoot you or "sv_cheats 1;bot_zombie 1" so they dont move from spawn.
Unfortunately what you did won't work. The variables will be overwritten too easily. Someone can use entangling roots and boom! The radius is set to 600. A cheap way which I think you could do it is by doing "es_delayed 0.5 es_set variable server_var(variable)" for each of your variables. Although this is an extremely offhand way of doing it and could result in slowing things down a lot, to which I reccomend going the ultimates file and block path, I'll show you an example:
The first alias, is to set all the commands beforehand:
"racealias_trackgo" "es_set user event_var(userid);<< important;es_set round server_var(wcs_roundcounter);<<EXTREMELY important;set range set group 0 set dead 0 ect;get team;racealias_trackingloop1"
then goes onto loop 1, which checks if you are alive, and the round is still the same. Make sure any event_var(userid) is put to server_Var(user) from here on in.
"racealias_trackingloop1" "get alive of server_var(user);if alive = 1 then if round = wcs_roundcounter then racealias_trackingloop2"
then onto your est_near, and the repetition of the racealiases
"racealias_trackingloop2" "est_near of server_var(user) bla bla racealias_tracking;racealias_trackingloopreset"
"racealias_tracking" "getplayerloc;est effect 10 server_var(user) 0 yada yada"
by resetting all the variables at the delayed time the racealias has the correct variables to use when it reruns.
"racealias_trackingloopreset" "es_delayed 0.5 es_set user server_var(user);es_delayed 0.5 es_set group server_var(group);es_delayed 0.5 es_set range server_var(range);es_delayed 0.5 set group group;es_delayed 0.5 set round round;es_delayed 0.5 racealias_trackingloop1"
Technically that should work flawlessly, although somewhat slowly. If you do it up properly I'll have another look at it to see if there are any mistakes.

This works fine for me: Notice it's a 10 levels skill, skill#4 now... Only massive change is the effect shows up only to the user. GeSHi (eventscripts): "preloadcmd" "es_xset wcs_tracked 0;es_xset wcs_user 0;es_xset wcs_round 0;es_xset wcs_distance 0;es_xset wcs_team 0"

"racealias_loop1" "es est_isalive wcs_dead server_var(wcs_user);if (server_var(wcs_dead) = 1) then if (server_var(wcs_round) = server_var(wcs_roundcounter)) then racealias_loop2"

So it worked for you? It's not drawing the effect, and it is spamming "Did not find a player matching 0" in sds console for me... (I inserted the preload cmd and this is the harldy edited code..) GeSHi (eventscripts): "skill2_setting" "es_xset wcs_range 200|es_xset wcs_range 400|es_xset wcs_range 600|es_xset wcs_range 800|es_xset wcs_range 1000"

yes i did...
So in skill2_cmd:
es est_getteam wcs_team server_var(user) ---> server_var(wcs_user)
but it wouldn't show me the effect so i changed it to #a (which got rid of the spamming of "Did not find a player matching 0" that was occuring in sds console)
There is a bug however, where the effect will start to be created on me and not the enemy

Yeah I thought in effects you could choose it to yourself (not my strong point)
It should always target the right guy, did you say you removed:
"es est_getteam wcs_team server_var(user);if (server_var(wcs_team) = 3) then es_set wcs_team #t!d;if (server_var(wcs_team) = 2) then es_set wcs_team #c!d"
Cause thats where it selects who to aim for.
