Custom skills fatal errors

[MooNek]

Hello, I've got yet another problem. Can somebody tell me what do those fatal errors mean or how to solve the problem?

It occurs when two specific skills are used right after one another Warcraft crashes.

Error happens when "Glacial Shards"(second trigger) skill is used on enemies and right after that Freezing Orb(second trigger) skill is casted on same target.

I can translate parts that you don't understand if you think that can help.

Remove the wait in the first spell ?

 

[MooNek]

Your avatar just fits the answer perfectly.
I should've tested the skill without wait action first... I know it's bad but I have no idea how to delay the effect without it. Now it looks like enemies are getting frozen before the missle even lands ;/

 

[nedio95]

Solution1: Can you translate this for me ?
Jednostka - A unit Rozpoczyna działanie zdolności

Solution 2: Use timers. May need to be split in 2 triggers.


There are other methods of measuring time but I believe timer would be fine.

A unit starts effect of a skill

@nedio95
hmm... Let me tel you what happens.

MooNek has a point-target-missile spell where the missile should freeze the target in the AoE.
He uses "A unit starts the effect of an ability" to detect when the spell is cast.
And he uses a wait to have the freeze delay.

@MooNek
I actually don't know why the crash comes.
It could be that the event responses are gone after the wait timer but only a few are actually lost.

What I suggest to do is use a Damage Detection System to detect when a unit has been damaged by that spell. Then you freeze the units.

Or (because you use a static delay

Static Delay

When you have an effect that should occur (...) time after a certain event, that is a static delay. You can use timers and in some cases Wait Timers (Wait gametime) to make the wait.
Sometimes you have a dynamic delay. This is for example when you have a missile that follows the target and the target is running away from it. If the target would run towards it, the delay would be much shorter. In that case, you want to have a different event to know when the unit is actually hit.

) you can also use timers to make the delay. In this case you have to have a hashtable to save the data to the timer and retrieve them when it expires.

What you also could do is use a missile system to make the blizzard (or whatever you use)
In that case, you will have an On-Collide event and make the damage yourself.
I prefer this option because you can edit almost every detail... if you use a good Missile System.

Well, just removing the wait helped with the crashes, and also the "Freeze" effect has a base animation time that it looks OK, I've lost some of the graphic value of the spell, but atleast it works fine

As long as it works, it's ok for me, I have no time to polish everything now, I want the map to be playable this year, I can't now focus on some graphics details, but thanks to both of you
