I want the Cronosphere-spell to ONLY stop the time of enemies not allies too

Add a condition for enemy units in this line:

• Set Chronosphere_Group[1] = (Units within 400.00 of Chronosphere_Point[1] matching ((Matching unit) Not equal to Chronosphere_Caster))

secondly the spell sometimes isn't even casted when using it, nothings happening

You should worry about fixing the leaks and making it MUI. Are there multiple instances occuring when you try to cast it?

WHen you cast the ability you have wait trigger, it's bad. You should change the ability on, for example, Ward spell (like Shadow Hunter orcish hero have) which summons Chronosphere instead of serpent ward.
Then add trigger with event Unit Summons unit (or something) and paste "Sphere of Timelessness" code into the summoning trigger WITHOUT Wait 0.2 sec at all and change Chronosphere Caster = Summoning Unit
ChronospherePoint[0] = Position of Summoned Unit

Well I didn't make the spell by myself I just copied it from a spellpack. Well the times when the spell fails to cast it then it often happening when you cast the spell and then quickly make the hero do another action like moving, attack or cast another spell. It has a slightly waiting time to make the spell to be casted, else nothings happening but it thinks the spell is casted so the mana is used and the cooldown has started :-/ Also another problem about this spell and this bug doesn't happening very often but sometimes when the spell ends and they shouldn't be stopped in time anymore then it can happening a unit or a Hero still is stopped in time forever or until they die even if the spell is gone but this bug doesn't happening very often but when it's happening, it's very annoying -.-

Actually, there's this chronosphere in our spell database. You can learn and modify it to your likings. Just don't forget to give credits to the author.

Oh thank you! The triggers looks way more simple in that spellpack but the spell seems to work the same. The one I'm using now is kinda broken...

Well I got a problem when trying to import that Cronosphere-spell in to my map. I'm importing all spells, units and triggers required for it but when importing the triggers, all the variables isn't imported and is missing :-/ So how can I get them all imported too? Pls help...

 

[Rheiko]

In the world editor, go to File => Preferences
Check the "Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data"
Now, try re-import the triggers.

Oh I didn't know about that but that was the cause why they didn't get imported too. Thank you so much! I've got this problem before with some spells from spellpacks and is sick of making the variables by myself when they wont be imported... Thank you!

It's pretty much a requirement for all spells in the Hive database to have "How to Import" instructions. The 1st step, which should be the same for every submission, is that the option is checked.

The Chronosphere submission has that instruction. Can you point to me what other submissions you ran into didn't have it?

Oh that's true I missed that... Well I can't exactly remember what spells it was because I have renamed and edited almost every triggered spell I got from spellpacks in my map and I have been working with my map since 2009 and it's not even sure these spellpacks is still on Hive but I can't remember which ones of these imported spells I got this problem with but it didn't happening with all of them, just some of them but most of them imported the variables too even if I didn't have it checked there was only a few of them that didn't and I had to create the variables myself but now the problem is solved
