[Solved] Counts two spells as same spell. {two spells triggering at the same time}

Toilet Maker · 04-20-2009, 03:46 AM

Well I know I'm absolutely hopeless with the object editor but my problem is that:

I have 2 spells: "Creature 1" and "Creature 2". They are both based off "Taunt". In fact I made one and took off all the buffs, animations, etc and just changed the Icon and Tooltip then copied it and changed the tooltip. Basically they are the same and do nothing.

Now, I make 2 triggers, both with the action "Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability". The conditions are "(Ability being cast) Equal to Creature 1" and
"(Ability being cast) Equal to Creature 2". When I cast it in game it thinks that I cast both spells at the same time. So it deducts double mana and casts twice. It fails on the second time because of a condition I put in there.
So how can I fix this? I think this is a Object Editor problem but I don't know where to look. Also I am going to make 2 more copies (Creature 3 and 4) so please keep that in mind when offering a solution.

Thanks!

EDIT: Just some extra information. When I cast Creature 2 it casts Creature 1 first and then fails on Creature 2 because of the condition. I think this is because the trigger for Creature 1 is above the trigger for Creature 2 in the trigger editor stack.

Both of the spells are in a spellbook.

If you mean in the triggers, I didn't use OR or AND at all. Theres 2 triggers and they both activate when I cast either one of the 2 spells.

If you base two spells off the same one, the game will register it as one spell. Unless you use Channel as a base and change order id.

How do I change Order ID?

in object data, in spell called channel, there's an option Base Order Id, change it. You also search for a tutorial on using the channel ability.
