Hi guys, as i mentioned below, the spell is working fine, its just that at the location i jump to, it creates one of my custom units that dies instantly. The unit is created when i click on the jump location, not after i land. I keep looking through the code for where it would be creating a dummy unit or something that i didn't copy over but i cannot find a place where i should input a unit.

Set tempPoint1 = position of targeted ability
Create 1 unit at tempPoint1
Kill last created unit

Cleanup tempPoint1

Hi LordDz haha its funny that you posted before i even managed to make finish my post. I am currently having trouble posting the trigger to the site. What i meant to say is there is a spell i have copied that works perfectly, a leap spell, but when i click on the target location it creates a dying unit instantly. Everything else works fine. I am trying to post the trigger, but here is the link for your reference while i am trying to fix it.

How To Post Your Trigger

Hi LordDz, thanks for posting that link, i finally figured out the /trigger and /hidden codes. Thanks!

Marcos_M · Sep 20, 2017

There must be a different trigger creating the dying unit. Try this, create a New Feral leap abil, set your abil variable to this new copy. Check if error persist

tulee · Sep 20, 2017

Ok so i kept playing around with the trigger. I made my own test map and deleted every other trigger and it still greated the dying unit. I then went back to the spell map that i downloaded the leap spell from and deleted everything trigger/object data in hoping of recreating this unit bug in hope that it was something i was missing. This did not work either. I then decided to delete the custom unit from my map that was the dying unit itself and guess what there is no more issue. Can i ask, is there anyway for me to get around this without removing the custom unit itself?

Edit 1: I have recreated the unit in the spell map, and after importing the unit the spell in the spellmap also has the exact same bug. The unit is based off a grunt, and it only has 4 fields changed: Its model, its sound, its portrait and its name. I will check all 4 things now and get back to you guys.

Edit 2: Ok I did trial by error with all 4 attributes and reverting them back to normal did not do anything to change the issue. I then tried starting a new version of the spell map, and created a custom grunt without changing any of the 4 attributes. When i started using leap it then caused the bug with the normal grunt model. So, i have confirmed, if you download the map from the link below, and if you copy and paste a grunt (creating a custom unit, which is a still a normal grunt, in the object editor) then this bug triggers.

So my question is, does anyone know of why a spell like this would have a link to a unit such that i cannot use a grunt as my base unit for any of my custom units unless i want to forsake using this spell? Haha thanks guys!

The ability is based on Pocket Factory?
Is the only reason i can find

Oh, sorry, i know i am very inexperienced with the world editor, may i ask if you are saying pocket factory is known to error with the grunt unit or are you saying that is your guess.

Marcos_M · Sep 20, 2017

Pocket Factory spawns a unit at target location. These triggers aren't creating any unit, if you put these triggs on an empty map and the problem persisted, it may be that the abil is based on Pocket Factory

tulee · Sep 20, 2017

Ah i see. But why would it matter then that it is only a custom unit based on a grunt that triggers it while nothing else does. Or are there some questions that do not have answers with the world editor lol

Marcos_M · Sep 20, 2017

Maybe that unit is created trough the spell, not the triggers :|
Because those triggers don't create ANY unit

Wark · Sep 22, 2017

Let me take a look at the object data for the spell. This might be an object data problem.
