A Variable Doesn't Work

[Aeroblyctos]

Hello.

I have a problem with a simple trigger where a variable doesn't work even if it should.

The map is about two ghosts which change sides every 10 to 20 seconds. When a ghost with with Command Aura is killed it will always resurrect back. When a ghost with Brilliance Aura is killed it resurrect backs when he have at least 1 mana point.

The problem is that this:

• Set GHOST_1 = (Last created unit)

Doesn't work.

How do I fix this problem?

Whole trigger

• GHOST 1 DIES
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Dying unit) Equal to GHOST_1
  • Actions
    • Set TempLoc = (Position of (Dying unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Wraith for Neutral Hostile at TempLoc facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set GHOST_1 = (Last created unit)
    • Special Effect - Destroy GHOST_SE1
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Last created unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Silence\SilenceAreaBirth.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Last created unit) using Abilities\Spells\Items\TomeOfRetraining\TomeOfRetrainingCaster.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of GHOST_1 using Abilities\Spells\Orc\CommandAura\CommandAura.mdl
    • Set GHOST_SE1 = (Last created special effect)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)

Your trigger "GHOST 2 DIES" has the action "Set GHOST_1 = No unit". Perhaps the problem lies there.

Maybe it's the periodic trigger.

• CHANGE GHOSTS 1
  • Events
    • Time - Every (Random real number between 10.00 and 20.00) seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (GHOST_1 is alive) Equal to True
    • (GHOST_2 is alive) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • GHOST_SIDE Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set GHOST_SIDE = False
        • Set GHOST_1 = Ghost 0000 <gen>
        • Set GHOST_2 = Ghost 0001 <gen>
        • ...

Replace those actions with these:

• CHANGE GHOSTS 1
  • Events
    • Time - Every (Random real number between 10.00 and 20.00) seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (GHOST_1 is alive) Equal to True
    • (GHOST_2 is alive) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • GHOST_SIDE Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set GHOST_SIDE = False
        • Set u = GHOST_1
        • Set GHOST_1 = GHOST_2
        • Set GHOST_2 = u

and in the else:

• CHANGE GHOSTS 1
  • Events
    • Time - Every (Random real number between 10.00 and 20.00) seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (GHOST_1 is alive) Equal to True
    • (GHOST_2 is alive) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • GHOST_SIDE Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • ...
      • Else - Actions
        • Set GHOST_SIDE = True
        • Set u = GHOST_2
        • Set GHOST_2 = GHOST_1
        • Set GHOST_1 = u
        • ...

It can't be because that's stage 2 already...

YEAH! Now I understand what was my mistake. It was very simple I knew it. Once again, thanks thanks thanks. Rep for both.
