[Trigger] cast spell more than once?

[The Count]

so this trigger is supposed to create a dummy, and then cast the "break morale" spell as many times as it can before disappearing. it works right now but it'll on cast the spell on a single unit and i cant figure out how to get it to work correctly.

• Break Morale
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Break Morale (Dummy)
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Player 1 (Red) Current lumber) Greater than or equal to 210
      • Then - Actions
        • Player - Set Player 1 (Red) Current lumber to ((Player 1 (Red) Current lumber) - 210)
        • Set BreakMoraleLocation = (Target point of ability being cast)
        • Set BreakMoraleGroup = (Units within 512.00 of BreakMoraleLocation)
        • Unit - Create 1 Magic Dummy for Player 1 (Red) at (BreakMoraleLocation offset by (0.00, 0.00)) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Add Break Morale to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Banshee - Activate Curse
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in BreakMoraleGroup and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Banshee - Curse (Picked unit)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_BreakMoraleLocation)
        • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_BreakMoraleGroup)
      • Else - Actions

can someone shed some light on this for me? ive been playing with this thing for like two hours now changing things around trying to get it to work correctly.

thanks in advance!

Configure the dummy in the following fashion:

Movement speed: 0
Art - animation - Cast point : 0
Art - animation - Cast backswing : 0

ive done that, still the same issue sadly.

Are you sure Break Morale's cooldown and mana cost are 0 so that the dummy can cast it multiple times?

Compare your dummy unit settings with tutorial, probably you didn't set movement speed to 0.

i really don't see any issues.

Just to check, add a wait of 1 second after ordering the dummy to cast the spell. If it works properly then there is your problem. After that index it to make it MUI. If your spell is supposed to target all units at once, then base it off of a spell that already does that, like "Roar" or Howl of Terror".

i tried adding a 1 second wait, but it still didn't work.
also, im not sure that'll work because i need the "curse" effect applied to all effected units.

Have you taken a look at Curse ability's Casting Range?
In testing, try removing locust and put a model on a dummy. Observe the dummy's actions when testing.

And why offset location by (0, 0) ?

Here, I made you a test map that needs some things to be work out, but I hope that you get the general idea.

Updated Ivofena's map and added my own version to it.
It does what Maker said and it casts curse instantly to all units in the area.

That's cool, but I was actually trying to make it cast on the units 1 by 1. If only @The_Count was more specific in his explanation. Right now, I think he wants a mass spell like yours to be cast every 0.10 seconds to all targets in range for 5 seconds or until the dummy dies (if the dummy is killed before the 5 seconds expire. Yes, I think he wants the dummy to be visible, targetable and killable). And that's not hard to make.

thanks for taking your time to make both the test maps, i really do appreciate it. turns out what i wanted was more complicated than i thought. ill try to incorporate what i learned from them.

EDIT: ivofena was right, i wanted the Dummy To Be Target-able, killable and to apply curse to units 1 by 1. sorry for being unclear with my explanation.

Would you care to explain exactly what it is you want and maybe then we can truly help you.

Edit: Something like this perhaps?

yes, thank you.

Summons an immovable ward that curses the sh*t out of nearby units.

^this caught me by surprise and made me giggle like a teenage girl.

EDIT: Have Everything working The Way i hoped, thank you everyone for the help and suggestions.

Well if that's all he wanted, he could just add summon a ward with a duration of 5 seconds, with the curse ability and a cooldown of 0.10 seconds.
No need for triggering at all.

But your trigger did give me an idea for a spell. And it was neat.
