Does the spell work otherwise?

Use Game - Display text message for debugging.

Use it to display the number of units in MVC_PickGroup, unit type of caster and the damage amount.

 

[Steel0RaZoR]

the spell work(the knockback, the effect,etc.) just the damage.

 

[Narogog]

have you tried just setting the damage to a solid number?
please attach the map to a post so people can download it and test it out.

 

[Steel0RaZoR]

Here's the map: View attachment Darklord Spell.w3x

Use separate variables rather than arrays...as far as I know, arrays containing ZERO integer doesnt work properly...

I'll try

Ok, I found the problem. In the map, you have two variables, SBCaster[] and SB_Caster[]. In the damage configuration, you have

• Set SB_Damage[SB_Integers[1]] = (175.00 x (Real((Level of (Ability being cast) for SBCaster[SB_Integers[1]]))))

when your casting unit is saved as

• Set SB_Caster[SB_Integers[1]] = (Triggering unit)

The first one uses SBCaster[], and the second one uses SB_Caster[]. Change it to SB_Caster[] (the SB_Damage[] variable) and it will work.

 

[Dr Super Good]

That is why you should name your variables carefully. This must be one of the most common bugs in programming.

Thanks Pharaoh, finally fixed it!
