    • -------- After Looping 10 times at several intervals in a circle around the caster of "Impale" ability then: --------
    • Set HitandRun_UNIT = (Last created unit)
    • Set HITANDRUN_CastingUNIT = (Casting unit)
    • Wait 10.00 game-time seconds
    • Unit - Order HitandRun_UNIT to Undead Crypt Fiend - Unburrow
    • Wait 1.00 game-time seconds
    • Unit - Remove HitandRun_UNIT from the game
    • Unit - Unhide HITANDRUN_CastingUNIT
    • Selection - Select HITANDRUN_CastingUNIT for (Owner of HITANDRUN_CastingUNIT)

What happens is:
-The unit hides for 11 seconds, the unit re-appears after that time.
-Thats it.

I know i don't really need the 2nd part to work involving the burrowing. I just need to now why the first part does not work involving the dummy units casting impale. I tried creating just a normal footman and giving it impale to cast...it did not work. Why is that? Please help!

The ability is MEANT to: create 10 dummys, order each to spike/impale around the casting unit. then make the casting unit hide/11 seconds then re-appear.

Emmm... why don't you use for each integer A? It would make the whole trigger much easier

OK first of all its a lot of crap there you should use a loop effect to order all that ... like this :

• Hit and Run
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Hit and Run
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Point1 = (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Hit and Run Dummy Unit for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at Temp_Point1 facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add Impale (Derek's) to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Set level of Impale (Derek's) for (Last created unit) to (Level of Hit and Run for (Casting unit))
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Temp_Point2 = (Temp_Point1 offset by 300.00 towards 36.00 degrees)
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Crypt Lord - Impale Temp_Point2
        • Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Create 1 Hit and Run Dummy Unit for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at Temp_Point1 facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Add Impale (Derek's) to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Set level of Impale (Derek's) for (Last created unit) to (Level of Hit and Run for (Casting unit))
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point2)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point1)
    • Set HitandRun_UNIT = (Last created unit)
    • Set HITANDRUN_CastingUNIT = (Casting unit)
    • Wait 10.00 game-time seconds
    • Unit - Order HitandRun_UNIT to Undead Crypt Fiend - Unburrow
    • Wait 1.00 game-time seconds
    • Unit - Remove HitandRun_UNIT from the game
    • Unit - Unhide HITANDRUN_CastingUNIT
    • Selection - Select HITANDRUN_CastingUNIT for (Owner of HITANDRUN_CastingUNIT)

OK if you placed your effects good this should work perfectly ... but the burrow crap ... i think that won't ... that's my opinion ... hoped i helped ...

This must be a key trigger for ya'

Edit: lol Berzeker cool timing >.<

I think i found your problem
Set this at the start of the trigger

• Set HitandRun_UNIT = (Last created unit)
• Set HITANDRUN_CastingUNIT = (Casting unit)

And replace "Casting unit" with Triggering unit

 

[Squiggy]

Use (Triggering Unit) instead of (Casting Unit) and/or variables

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

You really should stop using "wait"... It just causes problems...

Start a timer and use periodic events which are disabled when the timer expires...

Dude, cant you see, hes a beginner in coding?
How could he know, how to use timers to handle Waits.

Using TriggeringUnit is ok, as it is a local variable.
