• Black Box
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Black box
  • Actions
    • Set Caster = (Casting unit)
    • Set Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set BlackBox = Black box 0066 <gen>
    • Unit - Pause Target
    • Unit - Pause Caster
    • Animation - Play Caster's spell animation
    • Unit - Create 1 Black box for (Triggering player) at (Position of Target) facing (Position of Target)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of Target using Abilities\Spells\Human\FlameStrike\FlameStrike1.mdl
    • Unit - Remove BlackBox from the game

    • Unit - Unpause Target
    • Unit - Unpause Caster
    • Set BlackBox = No unit
    • Set Caster = No unit
    • Set Target = No unit

please help?btw idk how to set the variable BlackBox to the normal unit not the region one

Instead of "begins casting a ability", uses "starts the effect of a ability"
Instead of removing the box, add a generic expiration timer to it.
Instead of (Triggering player) uses (Owner of (casting unit))
Don't pause the unit, remove the pause/unpause.

The error is because the unit is being paused while try to cast, so the trigger run, and the unit unpause and try to cast again, its paused and the trigger run, the unit unpause and tray again again to cast and its paused again again...

got it?

Also there's nothing that deals damage on those triggers anyway. Does the box have immolation or something like that?

I think he thought that the special effect would do the damage.
Add and action Unit Damage area(target).

(Don't need to set unit to null, and I don't even know if exist call removeunit)

Well there is,

RemoveUnit takes unit returns nothing

 

[Saishy]

No, your trigger its not like mine.
Look all lines again.

(I'm not talking about "Set BlackBox = Black box 0066 <gen>", that you can remove)
