Okay so I made 4 abilities. One being Aura (Change), the others being the abilities/buffs )Being Holy,Retribution, and Devotion). The Trigger I am trying to make allows the user to change between auras depending on what he wants. I tested it and it seems to not be working. It starts on Devotion Aura and gets stuck on it not allowing you to change. It doesn't even update the level of the spell either. So I was wondering if anyone could help me sort this out. This is my first more advanced trigger based on a spell on Hive Workshop.

You should make udg_Aura_Handle integer
and change it to this line: "udg_Aura_Handle = GetHandleId(udg_Aura_Caster)"
then you can use it directly as second Key; perfomance boost.​

The Ability References do not match.
In the init Trigger you call them:
Presence_Ability_Aura​
In the Change Trigger the auras are called:
Aura_Ability_Aura​

So much unneeded use of custom script; is that somekind of jass traning?

Yeah I'm trying to do some beginner jass.
What a stupid mistake. Guess that's why you don't do triggers at 2 in the morning.
And hmm still not working. It tries to change the auras but doesn't actually do it now.
