[Trigger] AOE Fear Spell

[Icanebal]

Hi

I have an issue with a spell.

When I cast it one time, everything works perfectly.

But when I cast it two times in a row, units don't get back to their owner correctly. (2 get back but not the third one)

I don't get what I am doing wrong

[PS: Uncle if you read this, I've first made this spell as you show me how to do with my charmspell and using local variables. But after some "beta tests" I've experienced some bugs with this like some units who don't get back to their owners. Both fear spell or charm spell]

Could it be because the spell can affect units that are already feared? (triggers aren't english so hard to tell)

E.g. if a unit switches from player 1 to player 12, and then the spell is cast 1 second later on the same target, so the unit "switches" from player 12 to player 12. When the first instance expires, the unit will return to player 1, but when the 2nd instance expires, the unit will return to player 12.

Perfect ! I just put condition to be different to Player 12 when it switch to Player 12 or get back to their owner. And it works !

Thanks
