Creaint SFX on a Unit with Chaos Ability

Title Typo: Create SFX on a Unit with Chaos Ability

Well, I have an item that would attach a special effects on the overhead of a unit. Then that unit would be given a chaos ability to transform. Sadly when I attach the special effects on the overhead of the unit after giving that unit chaos, it only attaches the special effects at the region point of the units position.

Heres the basic trigger without all the excess actions.

• Event
  • Unit - A unit Uses an item
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - Add Chaos (weapon) to (Hero manipulating item)
  • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of (Hero manipulating item) using war3mapImported\LIght_Flashlight_22.MDX

Use this:

• Melee Initialization Copy
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Uses an item
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
    • Custom script: call UnitAddAbility (u, 'S000')
    • Custom script: loop
    • Custom script: exitwhen GetUnitTypeId(u) == 'Hmkg'
    • Custom script: call TriggerSleepAction (0.27)
    • Custom script: endloop
    • Custom script: call AddSpecialEffectTarget ("Abilities\\Spells\\Other\\TalkToMe\\TalkToMe.mdx", u, "overhead")
    • Custom script: set u = null

Explanation:
• 'S000' is the rawcode of the custom Chaos ability I made. To view the rawcodes, go to Object Editor -> View (menu) -> Display object values as raw data or simply hit "Ctrl + D".

• 'Hmkg' is the rawcode of Mountain King; in the Chaos ability I created, I used Mountain King to be the 'to-be-transformed' unit-type, that is why I used its rawcode.

• This one detects whenever the unit-type of the hero that used an item becomes equal to the unit type of Mountain King's, so as to add the Special Effect afterwards.

P.S. You can also use 0.1 in place of 0.27, in the line "TriggerSleepAction".

The spell worked properly in the test map, but when I copy and modify the triggers for my map I get the following errors for the following lines.

Line 2220 Expected 'Endif'

• Custom script: local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()

Line 2221 Expected a name

• Custom script: call UnitAddAbility (u, 'S004')

Line 2223 Expected a name

• Custom script: exitwhen GetUnitTypeId(u) == 'H003'

Line 2226 Expected a name

• Custom script: call AddSpecialEffectTarget ("Abilities\\Spells\\Other\\TalkToMe\\TalkToMe.mdx", u, "overhead")

Line 2227 Expected a variable name

• Custom script: set u = null
