[Trigger] Cast Bar, Trigger help.

[Rexp]

Hey I am having some problems with FLoating Text GUI or MUI idk, atleast so it works for several units at the same time. I'll post the triggers and hopefully, some of you can help me see what's wrong. I have tried to make a castbar. I was very happy when I saw it worked very well for 1 unit. But then, when I tried with 2 units it didn't work. and after working a bit on it I didn't find a way to make it work for several units.
Trigger who launches at ability cast.

• Frost Bolt CB
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Frost Bolt
  • Actions
    • Set CBt_Duration = 5.00
    • Set CBt_Caster = (Triggering unit)
    • Set CBt_SpellName = (Name of (Ability being cast))
    • Trigger - Run Get Cast Bar Trigger <gen> (checking conditions)

The trigger who "gathers" the info about the spell casted

• Get Cast Bar Trigger
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • CB_Integer[1] Equal to 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn on Cast Bar Loop <gen>
      • Else - Actions
    • Set CB_Integer[1] = (CB_Integer[1] + 1)
    • Set CB_Integer[2] = (CB_Integer[2] + 1)
    • Set CB_Intervals[CB_Integer[2]] = (CBt_Duration / 20.00)
    • Set CB_Duration[CB_Integer[2]] = CBt_Duration
    • Set CB_Caster[CB_Integer[2]] = CBt_Caster
    • Set CB_IntervalReal[CB_Integer[2]] = (CB_Intervals[CB_Integer[2]] / 0.01)
    • Set CB_SpellName[CB_Integer[2]] = CBt_SpellName
    • Set CB_TextSet[CB_Integer[2]] = 0.00

And the loop.

• Cast Bar Loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer CB_Integer[3]) from 1 to CB_Integer[2], do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • CB_TextSet[CB_Integer[3]] Equal to 0.00
          • Then - Actions
            • Set CB_FloatinInteger[CB_Integer[3]] = (CB_FloatinInteger[CB_Integer[3]] + 1)

Leaks and tips is very appreciated.

1. Change the inxeding system - this one is too old, and inefficient. Make use of Hanky's indexing system/Bribe's Indexer.
2. There is ton of casting bar's templates in spell section - you can learn from them.
3. DONT NEVER/EVER (whatever) create casting bar via spamming - create text that reads message: 'I'. In your script loop for those actions is life saver BUT
BUT BUT BUT better create one FT that reads whole casting bar message and just change the color of given substrings.

Furthermore.. You can have only 100 floating texts at a time ^^ good luck!

Could you link me one? only1 I can find is http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/spell-engine-v0-3-2-a-143066/?prev=search%3DCast%2520Bar%26d%3Dlist%26r%3D20 and that one is too advanced, atleast to import to a another map, for me I find it impossible thinking of some of the tools you need to import isn't updated.

 

[Bribe]

I recommend using Hanky's Dynamic Indexing, hashtables or Unit Indexer.

Hanky's Dynamic Indexing.
I upload also mini-healh/mana bar system done on request some time ago - it should help you with substring manipulation and the idea behind one string as whole casting bar.
